the act of reflecting in a two-semester engineering design course. Reviewing an end-of-year survey on the act of reflecting aswell as the reflections themselves, this study presents student perceptions of reflections andwhether the reflections changed throughout the design process. We found that 55% ofparticipants describe reflections as useful, and 78% of participants describe the reflections asimpacting their design project, team dynamics, or personal development. Seven themes aredocumented about student perceptions of reflections, including: expansive thinking, examiningthe project more deeply, team dynamics, goal-setting, looking back at progress, planning nextsteps, and functional critiques. We also found that the number of words for

With this mindset, we postulate that materialsresearch is entering discipline unspecific mindset, meaning that researchers across disciplines areinterested and able to contribute to solving key problems. That is, researchers in materialsscience and engineering projects self-select based on interests which are independent ofacademic training.

Another unfamiliar challenge is the increasing need forengineering departments to maintain stable levels of enrollment. Two year or communitycolleges are faced with additional demands to maintain an affordable and academicallyappropriate gateway into higher education and a viable means of transferring into four yearprograms.

Major impediments to establishing specialty constructionprograms have been finding faculty qualified to develop and teach curriculum and finding roomin existing curriculum for new programs.A unique solution was developed through the Academic Consortium Project of the SpecialtyConstruction Institute. The vision was to bring together a consortium of established constructionprograms with shared interest in developing the specialty area to design, develop, and deliver ashared curriculum.
