Figure 1 depicts howthis may work. The three components of metacognitive control shown in Figure 1 – evaluate,monitor and plan -- are from Ertmer and Newby (1996). At IRE, students are supported inbecoming aware of and applying these control mechanisms predominantly through two tools—“Metacogs” and “Metachrons.” A “metachron” is simply a log that

As aresult, the oppressed may find out who they really are, how oppressors use and abuse theoppressed and, arguably, how to begin imagining and planning alternatives to oppression.Even though the oppressed may “understand” and “discover” that they are oppressed, they can’tnecessarily reflect on a current state of oppression due to systematic undermining of their corevalues. That is, it takes persistent effort to believe oneself worthy of dignity and a share of socialinfluence when systems of oppression convince the oppressed to believe the contrary, that theydo not matter or deserve regard.45Moreover, the oppressed

Whether this leads to a meaningful integration of disciplines depends on the leadersand participants of the courses.In contrast to the courses described above, the intent of the course described in this paper is todevelop a liberal arts course that appeals to engineering students without necessarily beingrestricted to any specific enrollment ratios.

Instead, they use aprocess of guess and check, and try different things until they find something that works—aprocess of elimination. Though Alon makes this claim, that evolution is much like a “tinkerer,”he does state that the “solutions found by evolution have much in common with goodengineering design.” He elaborates on three examples of these similarities between engineeredsystems and biological systems: modularity, robustness, and the use of recurring circuitelements.The first, modularity, Alon defines as “a set of nodes [in a system] that have strong interactionsand a common function.” In order for a set of nodes to be

Engineers andprofessionals of all fields routinely tackle problems to which they do not have ready solutions,yet the educational experience of most American students typically involves a smoothly paved,pre-planned route to the “correct answer.” Perhaps the most valuable aspect of this form oflearning is that it is something unknown that must be mastered. Making video is not terriblydifficult to learn to do at a basic level, but it requires practice and persistence. Persistence in theface of adversity is a valuable attribute, but one that may be lacking among today’s collegestudents depending on levels of maturity and intellectual development.Perhaps this is a factor that partially explains some of the observed differences
