Findings have implications for the development of robust engineeringpathways at both 2- and 4- year institutions. Departures from the “norm”: How nontraditional undergraduates experienced success in an alternative engineering transfer programThe idea/ideal of the traditional college undergraduate as “one who earns a high school diploma,enrolls full time immediately after finishing high school, depends on parents for financial support,and either does not work during the school year or works part time” is giving way in 21st centuryAmerica [1].

The student is trusted as an equal partner in the process of learning and teaching. Thestudent experiences are valued. The responsibility of education is shared between the studentsand the instructor. The instructor facilitates learning of (individual) and among (peer) students.The shared goal is that of liberation in the sense of equity and social justice. Liberation is soughtthrough “praxis” [1] (reflective action that affects constructive changes in the world). In thisway, education becomes “practice of freedom” [21]. Practicing

The courses are centeredaround reflection and portfolio management, while the term paper is a description of their joband is reflective in nature. Similar to other schools, there is a fee associated with both of thesecourses for access to the portal, much like other co-op programs. Students also choose to do internships outside of the co-op program. Although theseinternships are within their field of study, they are not registered with the coop program.There are various logistical and personal reasons for this decision and are not fully discussedin this

Student assessment should be based on their individual reflection of their own learning progress and their contributions to the collective learning process. 5. Source of Knowledge and Information: Our students have numerous information sources (books, articles, search engines, blogs, MOOCS etc...). We cannot act as subject matter experts any more. But we will need to play the role of integrator/mentor/coach so all the information can be optimally used. 6. Setting for Learning: Learning is a social activity.

Literature Review A review of extant scholarship reveals several themes regarding the teaching ofengineering in K-12 settings. One theme is a tendency among some K-12 scholars andpractitioners to not distinguish engineering education as a distinct field within the STEMdisciplines.

This diversity is reflected in the student population thatapplies for admission into the ESM program. Many ESM students have a physics background,others have a more traditional engineering background, and, more recently, we have studentswith bioengineering or biology training. The first year for incoming graduate students is typicallydevoted to taking foundational subjects in their research area (the ESM qualifying exam has fivebroad areas of concentration: mechanics, materials, electromagnetics, nano- and bio-science, andneural engineering).

Why do people care that I learnthis, and why should I care? are good starts for improving self-awareness. “Think About YourOwn Thinking” is another deeper self-assessment metacognition strategy [13]. The auditoryprobabilistic thinking process in the induction reasoning upon the listening of MP3 media shouldbe reflected in the students’ answers [14].

Therefore,much of design problem framing is implicit.Previous research has contrasted novices and more experienced designers to understand howexperience impacts capacity to design and quality of design work; both reflect a combination ofexplicit and implicit design knowledge. More experienced designers produce better designs, andthis may be due to their early efforts to frame the problem [19]. For instance, seniors, comparedto first-year students, gather more information, work in a more iterative fashion, consider abroader problem space, and generate more solution ideas [19-21].
