Research has shown benefits toengineering students who engage in service learning as a part of their curriculum1,2. However,developing a SL class often requires a great deal of time in planning as well as a considerablebudget for implementing projects.In this paper, we demonstrate the development of a SL class that requires very little to no budget.This course could be used as a

.IntroductionSince the announcement from the National Science Foundation that all grant funding proposalssubmitted after January 2011 must include a data management plan (DMP), academic librarieshave experimented with ways of providing support and education for researchers at theirinstitutions. At the University of Minnesota, we saw strong demand for guidance on writing andcomplying with this requirement. This high level of interest required a cross-disciplinaryapproach to teaching data management skills1. Although successful, this instructional approachdid not facilitate in-depth, domain-specific skill building. Starting in October 2011, theUniversity of Minnesota, along with partners at Purdue University, the University of Oregon andCornell University

The session was collaboratively designed and delivered bypracticing engineers and educators. In this mini-session, student teams developed cost-effectivesite solutions that adhered to county area specifications. After a brief introduction to the topic,teams were provided with a site plan, sheets representing BMP options, a worksheet, and othersupplies. The activity was structured into the following steps:1.

It was developed using the Engineering isElementary curriculum [17] and was developed with data from upper elementary school agestudents engaged in an engineering design challenge. The six elements of reflective decisionmaking included: Articulate multiple solutions, evaluate pros and cons, intentionally selectsolution, retell performance of solution, analyze solution according to specific evidence, andpurposefully choose improvements. These decisions were framed by the structure of thecurriculum used for that study and therefore elements from that framework such as the notion ofidentifying decisions points, provided a starting point for this work .

: Implementing Sophomore Cornerstone Courses in Electrical and Computer EngineeringMany engineering programs have significant project- and design-based courses in the freshmanand senior years. Freshman courses usually serve a dual purpose: a) making engineering a moreattractive study option for undecided students, and b) introducing the basics of technical andnon-technical skills, such as teamwork and project planning. On the other hand, seniors doingtheir capstone projects are expected to perform at a more proficient level, one that woulddemonstrate their readiness for entering the workforce as engineers.As will be discussed below, the project component in our freshman year-long sequence evolvesfrom minimally structured projects

learningand professional practice, as described by several educational theories (Bishop-Clark & Dietz-Uhler, 2012; Kolb & Kolb, 2009; Schön, 1987). Kolb’sExperiential Learning Theory maintains that learning occurs when “doing” isaccompanied by “reflecting on one’s doing” (Kolb & Kolb, 2009). Further, whenstudents repeatedly reflect on their academic lives (i.e., learning, practices, andperformance), it can enhance their metacognition, which includes the self-regulatory skills of planning, monitoring, and evaluating their learning (Schraw,1998). Metacognition has been described as “thinking about one’s thinking” andpromotes lifelong learning abilities (Steiner & Foote, 2017). Unfortunately,Ambrose highlighted a lack of frequent, formal
