Planning Monitoring Controlling Evaluating Figure 1: Conceptual Framework of Metacognition (reference removed for blind review)General Assessment of MetacognitionSimply put, metacognition is difficult to measure or assess though not for lack of appropriatetheory. Metacognition is studied directly as described by Veenman, Van Hout-Wolters, andAfflerbach (2006) or as a component of other frameworks such as self-regulated learning (Winne& Perry 2005), self-directed learning (Van Hout-Wolters 2000), and strategic learning(Weinstein, Husman, & Dierking 2005).

The students first obtained the overalldimensions of equipment, created the 3D model of the equipment and then placed eachequipment into the given space. Figure 3 shows the initial design of the AdvancedManufacturing Laboratory using SolidWorks software. Once all the equipment and the classroom space have been optimized, the final floor plan has been issued for renovation of the newlaboratory (see Figure 4). The laboratory has three sections:  Subtractive Center: The 12 Lathes, 3 Drill Presses 5 Mills and a plethora of manual equipment afford students hands-on exposure to machining best practices.

Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc. The Biomedical Engineering and Software Engineering programs are preparing for accreditation in the next review cycle. Also, a special interdisciplinary General Engineering program is offered that is not accredited. At SJSU, BS Engineering programs are treated as accredited, since all programs are designed with assessment and accreditation in mind. Rationalization for the Course Sequence: The 120 Unit Plan Discussions of reduction in units to earn a baccalaureate degree have occurred within the California State University (CSU) system since the 1990’s. Much progress was made to reduce programs in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. By 2008 approximately 81% of degree programs met the 120-unit

This variability, compounded by the turnover as students graduateand move on to pursue either their entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial interests outside of the localarea, resulted in the need for campus-based and student-focused programs that complementcommunity programs but maintain momentum and focus on student needs and perspectives.Business and Design Competitions - Business plan competitions are sometimes solely thoughtof as mechanisms for students to get early stage funding for their entrepreneurial endeavors.More importantly, they also provide a range of other core benefits including entrepreneurial

While some generalizations can be drawnfrom existing literature, it is important to know what, if any, gender-based differences existamong engineering faculty regarding the use of student-centered strategies and attitudesregarding those strategies.MethodologyThis study was conducted to

Nevertheless, much of the previous research was based on the use of thetraditional SRSs (i.e., clickers) while cloud-based response systems (hereafter referred to as pollapp) have been prevalent due to a majority of students owning an Internet-connected devicenowadays12.The goal of this paper is to assess the use of a poll app called Poll Everywhere in an engineeringproject management course namely “Project Planning and Regulations”, which is required forcivil and environmental engineering majors.

However, students entering the college at the low end of themathematics spectrum, in particular, continue to be retained and succeed at a much lower ratethan first-year students in general. This cohort of students tends to have a higher proportion ofunderrepresented minority students and a higher portion of students with financial need. It hasalso been the fastest growing portion of the first-year student class for the past several years.This paper discusses past, current, and planned efforts to increase the success of incoming firstyear students at the lower end of the mathematical skill spectrum.

Since the programis joint between the Colleges of Engineering and Science, an introductory course has beendeveloped and was taught for the first time during spring 2007. The course is intended to be opento both engineering and science students, so there will be basic mechanics for the sciencestudents and basic quantum mechanics and kinetics for the engineering students. This builds on aprior NSF grant that was concerned with issues in nanoscale manufacturing.4As an additional part of the project, we are developing an experiment that

The use of BPR as a management tool was reported to have gone downfrom 69 percent in 1995 to 38 percent in 2000, and revived again to 61 percent in 20041.The concept of reengineering traces its origins back to management theories developed as earlyas the nineteenth century. BPR integrates methods from total quality management, technologyand innovation management, strategic planning, systems engineering, and organizational design4.The Stevens EM program has been offering courses related to these topics and integrating BPRin the curriculum was only natural.

This paper provides abackground of our vision and then presents our current system implementation, our initialexperiments and results, and planned next steps.Background - ProblemStudents and instructors are challenged to manage course content and integrate it across thecurriculum. For example, a student might take five courses a semester over eight semesters – 40courses. Especially for the courses in the student’s major, the content of these courses are relatedto content of previous courses, building on and integrating prior learning. Further, within a givencourse, there are numerous lectures, exercises, exams, and projects that interrelate. When astudent gets to their senior capstone design experience, they need to draw upon all
