Not only will we provide this information in actionable forms, but we will alsobe able to query responders about their own programs, and update the information in near realtime. Specifically, we will aggregate information as the various models for developing globalpreparedness are being employed, and will assess their effectiveness.

How Metacognition Supports SDLStudies show there is a gap between what graduating engineers can do and what employers want.Engineers are primarily hired and rewarded for solving ill-structured problems [8], [9]. Ill-structured problems are context and content dependent [10] and require the ability to generate avariety of novel solutions (no single solution is necessarily right or wrong) and to decide whichsolution is the best for the given problem in the given context [11]. Thus, engineers must havethe metacognitive skills and be able to self-direct their problem solving activities to negotiate theproblems they encounter in practice.In a prior paper [12], we reported on data from alumni of IRE who participated in our study anddescribed how

other educators who are interested in adopting CPBL-beyond-Classroom to redesign their courses based on the learning needs of their own students. A. IntroductionThe ability to solve real-world problems and design systems or components under realisticconstraints are essential to engineering and computer science graduates, as both mandated byABET and highly valued in professional practice. To help students develop such valuable skills,project-based learning (PBL) has been considered as a useful pedagogy by many engineering/CSeducators. However, it is also recognized that PBL may not always function if not designed andintegrated in the curriculum appropriately [1-4]. This challenge magnifies at commuter campuseswhere students having difficulty
