out undesired experiences in eachdepartment based on social consensus.MethodsBefore conducting this study, an ethics protocol was submitted and accepted by the research ethicsboard of the institution (ID: 36998). An online survey was distributed to engineering doctoralcandidates across engineering departments at [name withheld] in early 2019. The survey questionswere intended to collect information about the demographics of candidates (i.e., home department,year taken, type of exam, etc.) as well as their perceived experiences and thoughts on the purposeand utility of the CQ exam. The survey was pilot tested by 3 external reviewers, points ofclarification were noted, and survey questions were adjusted accordingly and finalized once theauthors

following section, we will first describe epistemic cognition andmetacognition separately. Next, we will discuss the construct of epistemic metacognition thatlooks at epistemic cognition and metacognition in combination. This discussion is followed by asection that discusses the value of studying epistemic metacognition in the context ofengineering.Epistemic cognitionEpistemic cognition concerns how people acquire, understand, justify, change, and useknowledge. It is distinct from cognition because the focus of epistemic cognition is on theconstruction and justification of knowledge, understanding, and/or true beliefs. The study ofepistemic cognition emerged with Perry’s [10] study into the cognitive and ethical developmentof male student at

of a team that studied ethical decision-making in engineering students. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Out-of-Class Impacts of Flexible ClassroomsAbstractThis student-led research project analyzes the impact that the conversion of a computer lab to aflexible classroom space had on informal use of the space outside of class time. Studies havebeen conducted on the benefits of informal learning settings, but there are few studies on how thephysical space itself can support the informal learning process. Research surrounding learningspaces in libraries has emphasized use of collaboration and flexible spaces, but these studieshave been conducted to inform space design decisions

andTechnology (ABET), “engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, orprocess to meet desired needs.” The aim is to optimize time and materials while still producing aquality product through “establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis,construction, testing and evaluation.” Engineers must be aware of the realistic constraints of theirproject, such as, “economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact.” Adiagram showing the details of the process is shown on Figure 3. Following the engineeringdesign process is crucial to finishing a project successfully.Schools with ABET accreditation, such as CSULA, include the engineering design process invarious courses throughout the curriculum
