individual feedback.However, the use of P2P evaluations places confidence in teammates to be better positioned toobjectively evaluate and give a fair assessment of other team members. This premise introducesall kinds of challenges, and thus, it is not surprising that there are mixed and varying studentresponses in both favor and against the effectiveness of P2P assessments. Specifically, theliterature doesn’t provide a consensus about what design attributes lead to such a variation instudent responses, even when the schemes are similar. But typically, studies report practicalexperiences with particular schemes or provide insights based on reflective teaching practices.Despite these concerns, there is significant support for the benefits of using P2P

This is reflected inthe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology accreditation student outcome criteria3.5, which specifically highlights an ability to effectively function on teams. Engineeringeducation literature further demonstrates the importance and the responsibility of facultyinvolvement in the development of effective teamwork. To assess teamwork functionality,instructors can distribute a survey among teams for team members to provide feedback abouteach other. This kind of feedback is helpful not only for that specific team and class but also foridentifying broader, systematic

Nanoscale science has beenrecognized as truly interdisciplinary and oftentimes reflects modern science better than thetraditional science disciplines [4]. Previous reports demonstrate that introducing NSE modules ina high school engineering classroom can leave students with positive perceptions aboutnanotechnology [5] and allows students to delve into science content across multiple size scales[6] . Furthermore, just having a firm understanding of what objects look like at the nanoscale canhelp students gain a better understanding of concepts in related scientific fields [7].On the other hand there are challenges in implementing NSE lessons

We have noticed that thisthoughtful reflection has begun to transform our mindset as we have prioritized the importanceof sustainable benefit to communities. That mindset change is exemplified in our vocabulary –the words we use to honestly describe our efforts to others or ourselves.

These metacognitive strategies enableengineers to deal with uncertainty by continuously engaging in acts of self-evaluation, self-monitoring and reflection as they work through the engineering design process.10, 13 The use of acollaborative environment has been found to help engineers reduce and manage uncertainty.10, 14Shin and his colleagues14 explain that working in teams allows engineers to reduce ambiguity bydistributing the knowledge and skills and collectively making decisions.

Academic identity-trajectory consists of three major strands: intellectual,network, and institutional3,4. The intellectual strand refers to how a student becomes part of andcontributes to their overall academic field3. In this study, the intellectual element explores the role of theoverall disciplinary field with respect to the PhD process. The institutional strand refers to the morespecific elements of the student’s department or university3. In this study, the institutional elements willbe represented by

In dealing with missing data,cases were retained for listwise completion at the subscale level because each survey waspresented as its own page. This led to a greater number of students having completed theEngineering Design Self-Efficacy instrument (see Table 1) and a varying number of studentsbeing included in each statistical test.

In this model, these four experiences produce a four-stage cycle of learning where concrete experiences are reflected upon, and these reflections areintegrated and distilled into abstract concepts which provide the foundation for actions that canbe actively tested and which, in turn, create new concrete experiences. David Kolb’s work onexperiential learning has shown that “experiential learning is a process of constructingknowledge that involves a creative tension among the four learning modes” (10, p. 298).As Sakofs notes: Broadly defined, experiential education is a philosophical orientation toward teaching and learning that values and
