showed very positive agreement that the content and skillsfrom the TWC were applied and developed at the internship, and that they were able to return toclassroom with enhanced communication skills and knowledge. Considering these factors, it iseasily concluded that students are making the important connection between their TWC coursematerials and their necessity in the engineering field.Questions 4 and 5’s relatively high scores indicate that students are attributing educational valueto their internship experiences. Students are gaining a motivation for deeper engagement withtheir TWC course as they see a direct application of content in their internships. Moreover,students are gaining a better understanding of the professional skill set of

The paper goeson to point out that taking a pedagogy course and serving a teaching internship during graduateschool closely parallels the procedures used to prepare graduate students to do research. Wankatand Oreowicz12 observe that engineering students have proven to be very reluctant to takecourses from the College of Education. Students in engineering do not subscribe in significantnumbers. Perception is that content as not relevant to engineering instruction and instruction isdone in manner outside the comfort zone of engineering students

beliefs about the nature of knowledge (simplicity and certainty of knowledge) andprocesses of knowing (sources of knowing and justification). Many studies using themultidimensional frameworks are quantitative in nature.More recently, situation and context-specific models of epistemic cognition have emerged. Thesemodels suggest that an individual’s epistemic cognition is dependent on situational factors, suchas interest and time. One example of a situation and context-specific model is Chinn et al.’s [4]AIR Model of epistemic cognition, which places an emphasis on an individual’s aim for a taskand the processes used to achieve this aim.Each type of model for epistemic cognition is marked by different underlying theoreticalassumptions and
