StudentsAbstractThe Study Cycle is a set of guidelines rich with self-regulated learning (SRL) techniques thatenables students to plan, prepare, and enact their studying by focusing on five comprehensivesteps: previewing before class, engaging in class, reviewing after class, holding study sessions,and seeking help as a supplement. This paper reports on initial findings of a qualitative study inwhich a workshop on the Study Cycle was taught to a class of second-year IndustrialEngineering students as an intervention, aiming to understand effects of the module onengineering students’ SRL strategy use in an engineering course. Students self-reported SRLstrategy use in a one-minute paper pre-workshop and two sets of post-workshop reflections. Thispaper examines

Weassessed the student’s problem solving strategies, products, and design process reflections usingWolcott’s “Steps for Better Thinking” rubric 1.IntroductionCapstone courses give students the opportunity to solve large, unstructured problems in aclassroom setting. These team-based projects mimic the industrial setting that most students willenter upon graduation. Throughout the capstone experience students find themselves faced withcomplexities not found in a traditional course, especially when the projects are

important tool for imaginative or creative self-expression. Infact, the use of poetry for the cultivation of creative thinking, imagination, reflection, andcommunication skills has been widely recognized in several scientific fields, including medicine[2, 3, 4], nursing education [5, 6], science education [7], mathematics [8], neuroscience [9, 10],biology [11], and conservation science [12] among others. Hence, it can be argued that poetry canbe an effective teaching and learning tool in engineering education as well.The remainder of the paper is organized as follows: In the next section, we provide a review of therelated literature.

Although the key areas are easily agreedupon, how best to satisfy them during a conversation is open to some interpretation by theindividuals involved in the conversation. Therefore, the goal of the activities is to get students tothink and reflect on how they communicate, how others communicate, successfulcommunication, poor communication and goals of professional communication. Hopefully,through this thought and reflection, the students will become aware of their communicationstyles and can become better communicators

utilized. In the pedagogicalliterature, Kolb’s experiential learning cycle is often referenced. Kolb’s learning cycle consistsof a concrete experience (feeling), reflective observation (watching), abstract conceptualisation(thinking), and active experimentation (doing)[5]. This is quite similar to Deming’s plan (think),do (and feel), check (reflect), and act (revise) learning cycle. Deming’s PDCA cycle is used herebecause it also further grounds the students’ learning in industrial engineering practice, asstudents may have learned about Deming and his work in their studies on quality, management,and continuous improvement, which is also cited in the project management literature[6, p.229].This enables the learning strategy to potentially be

This is done bycomparing overall course grades and by student performance on course exams. In particular,identical finals were used each semester and they were graded using the same rubric, so anydifferences in scores are likely reflect student learning and the different teaching methods.Table 1 summarizes the students enrolled in ISYE 330 in Spring 2012 and 2013.

common assumption of a positive interest rate,money grows to a larger value as it moves forward in time and shrinks as it moves back in time.This is reflected in the (P/F,i,N) and (F/P,i,N) factors which are generally introduced when discussingthe notion of interest. As these serve as the basis for all other factors, they are the only factorsthat need to be explicitly covered in classroom material. Once understood, the mechanics ofmoving money through time can be easily illustrated on a spreadsheet, without the use of factors.Furthermore, this author would argue that one can build intuition merely by working lots ofproblems – even if the actual calculations are performed on a spreadsheet.

Consequently, lean simulation games havegained a special role in training workshops and educational programs of lean manufacturing.A lean simulation game typically contains a series of operations that reflect real-world tasks ofwork. In a simulation, several phases of lean implementation are carried out step by step todemonstrate the impact of lean. The simplified tasks allow the participants to learn the leanconcepts and skills in a reasonably short time. Many lean simulation games have been developedin the past.
