and the learning strategies they used to meet courseobjectives. The purpose was to examine the effects of word choice for reflection prompts on thetype and level of metacognition expressed in students’ written reflections. Data collection tookplace during a first-year engineering course at a large Midwest university in Springs 2017 and2018. An a priori coding scheme and qualitative coding analysis were used to identifymetacognitive strategies in students’ reflective responses. Results showed that reflection promptsfocused on using feedback to evaluate and improve performance encouraged the use of planning,action, and evaluating metacognitive strategies, and prompts that focus on using proficiency withthe learning objectives to reflect on what

Introduction Starting the pursuit of a Bachelor’s Degree at Community College is received increasing attention with plans to federally fund tuition for community college classes in the news. Transferability of community college credit is critical to the success of such plans [2,3].

This is especially true in the area of project management where the essenceof the subject is a combination of people skills and planning skills. Both of these skills havebeen identified by ABET as essential skills for the next generation of engineers1.

Thecourse plan is the blueprint of how the course will be taught and how the LOs are to be achieved.In the past, an instructor prepared a course syllabus based on his interests and assessed studentachievement based on his internal standard. Most instructors conscientiously presented thestudents with a series of lectures and exams that they felt were designed to meet a standard theyset for the course.Under the new paradigm, courses must be taught and assessed with the achievement of thecourse LOs and the program POs in mind.

Abstract: This report is on five years of our experience in involving primarily biomedical engi-neering students in the design, development of products with commercial potential. Twenty suchprojects have been completed, involving about 100 students working in self-selected teams.Each team develops technical, marketing and business plans, develops and tests its prototypesand submits a proposal to NCIIA for a grant. As of 2005, four such grants have been awardedand one U.S. Patent application has been filed.Our Technical Entrepreneurship program is five years old. It has been supported by two grantsfrom NCIIA.

At the program level or at the individual student level, acommitment to continuous educational process improvement characterized by routine,outcomes assessment has evolved to become one of the key elements of success forengineering and engineering technology programs alike. This article examines the applicationof the principal of outcomes assessment during a course dealing with topics very typical ofengineering and construction management related curricula – construction planning, budgeting,and scheduling.
