Short-term Study Behaviors – preparation for day-to-day routine study tasks. Long-term Study Behaviors – preparation to carrying out specific long-range tasks such as projects or writing papers.Academic preparation habits and skills, coupled with student self-esteem, are consideredto be key indicators of academic achievement.

running out of time to solve the problems. A homework-type problem set or specific project-based activity is appropriate. Students working in groups are able to receive guidance from other students so that they are kept on focus for the problem at hand. Students benefit also from the chance to teach others during the session. All students have access to informal discussion time with the instructor, who can move from group to group answering questions and making sure that individual students are actually learning for themselves. Indeed, the peer pressure from other students is expected to help enforce an environment of mutual collaboration based on being properly prepared. Aside from the academic benefits of collaborative learning

For this project, three groups (undergraduate, graduate and faculty) with differenteducational backgrounds developed learning modules. The student groups were selected to helpwith the development because it would give a fresh perspective on the design projects. Theundergraduate students would gain some ownership in the education of their peers. The graduatestudent would learn more about teaching through the development of a design project.

They include the following. Provide easily modifiablematerials to help engage faculty in modifying or redesigning their instruction so innovativematerials are easy to use. Another suggestion is in fidelity of implementation of an innovation.For example, effective learning should not just elicit simple answers to contextualized questions,but also engage students in social construction of knowledge by peer discussion of underlyingconceptual justification of responses

to calibrate and compare their own progression through their degreeprograms to the progress of their peers. As implied by curricular flowcharts (another importantartifact), the default progression for engineering students begins in the first semester with Calc1, proceeding onwards through the math sequence and ideally completing the required coursesby the fourth semester of their undergraduate careers. Consequently, students classified as notready for Calc 1 who start at Pre-Calc in their first semesters are already “behind” their peersfrom the start of their college experiences while students who place into Calc 2 or 3 their firstsemesters are “ahead.” Feeling behind rather than ahead can be potentially detrimental to studentattitudes and

The Communityof Practice (COP) [20] model is a widely adopted framework in the professional identityliterature that has been useful in understanding engineering identity (e.g., [21-23]). TheCommunity of Practice model consists of members of a professional community who surround acore of practicing experts. Belonging in this community is experienced through three modalities:imagination (i.e., how can I see myself as a member?), engagement (i.e., how can I participate inthis community?), and alignment (i.e., how
