A similar reflective assignment will be givento the seniors prior to facilitating their first recitation section based on that described in Neubertet al. (2013). As the recitation sessions occur throughout the semester, a class period on thistraining will be less beneficial. Instead, the instructors will also provide senior students with a‘tip sheet’ about best practices in running the recitation, focusing on how to engage and supportthe students in the recitation.Survey Design: The survey instrument employed to measure student outcomes (engineeringidentity) was developed by Dr. Allison Godwin (2016).

A survey of engineering capstone faculty asking how they incorporateentrepreneurial practices into their capstone courses indicated just over half encouraged the useof failure or fail forward in the design iteration process (Matthew et al., 2014).Researchers at the University of New Haven (Li, et al., 2016; Li, et al., 2018; Li, et al., 2019)developed an instrument intended to measure entrepreneurial mindset. This instrument containsseveral items relating to failure, which they conceptualize as being a part of the entrepreneurialmindset. Again, while these studies and the instrument are not focused on

The course was originally designed to include active, blended, and collaborativelearning elements in both its instruction and learning resources, bringing demonstrations, videos,and group activities into the students’ learning environment. The process of adapting this research-based Statics curriculum, built around a typical 16-week semester, to fit its new internationalsetting was impacted by the timeline, the student population, their social context, and the resourcesavailable abroad. For example, the weekly instructor office hours held during a typical semesterbecame daily
prevent most faculty from using them. For example, trying new educationalinnovations and updating courses while balancing an active research lab is a difficult endeavorfor faculty. Knowledge and familiarity with engineering education best practices is anothermajor barrier and it impacts young and established faculty in different ways. Most new educatorslearn to teach effectively through trial and error and have little or no formal training in bestpractices of education [3]. Studies in the U.S. show that for 95% of new faculty members ittakes four to five years of trial and error to become fully productive in research and effective inteaching [6].

However, some academicprograms allow for the opportunity to conduct adaptive expertise-based research.Adaptive expertise research is frequently situated in design challenges, education reform, andknowledge transfer. In Peng et al’s work, two groups of undergraduate students across allacademic years were asked to create a CAD design from a real-life object and a drawing (2014).The study focused on evaluating contextual exercises to measure and help the development ofadaptive expertise characteristics in the classroom. In another study, Vanasupa et al establish thatdeveloping motivations to learn and making value visible is critical for adaptive expertisedevelopment over time (2010).

Students receive case studies in fatigue and impacts to safety, productivity, and performance. During this first day of the module students take the Epworth Sleepiness Scale [18] to determine their own sleepiness and then learn principles of sleep hygiene so they can become better sleepers and improve their own productivity. In the second day of the module, shift work and schedule rotation are defined, and best practices discussed. Student volunteers agree to wear wrist actigraphs every night for two weeks to measure their sleep. The student volunteers also agree to have their results shared with the
