]. While scholars have documented curriculum and pedagogyintended to develop lifelong learning competencies in engineering students [8][20], assessmentmethods are typically short-term and tied to a particular course. On the other hand, studies ofalumni have provided some insight into career trajectories [1] and workplace learning factors[14][15], but rarely connect these outcomes back to undergraduate experiences of a completeprogram.2.2 Assessing Long-Term Program ImpactsIdentifying the impacts of engineering programs for graduates is a challenging area of research.As a theoretical framework, we use the Planned-Enacted-Experienced model of curriculum [21]which is a student-centred, process-oriented conception appropriate for studying program

regulate them, the more effective they will be at learning. Because it is askill that experts, in contrast to novices, routinely employ in problem solving, a key strategy inteaching learners to “think like experts” is to scaffold metacognitive thinking [2][9].While there are multiple ways of conceptualizing metacognition, a common frameworkdistinguishes metacognitive knowledge (MK), which includes knowledge of and beliefs aboutpersons, tasks, and strategies, from metacognitive regulation (MR), which includes themonitoring, planning, evaluation, and control of one’s learning [10][11]. When it comes toobserving and evaluating metacognitive indicators, there are a variety of approaches that havebeen employed, all with attendant benefits and

similar ideas.We share two methodological notes. First, during our analysis, we discovered no mention ofevaluation as a barrier. Our original idea was that gaps in our evaluation plan for REEFE mayhave limited the possibility of improving the program over time, thus continuing a trend of fewerapplications when severe program design issues were present and known. Such evaluation issueswere not identified in our data sources. Similarly, we began our analysis including the categoryPolicies because we thought that graduate students might identify enrollment policies (e.g.,continuous enrollment during degree) as a barrier to participating in an immersive internshipprogram. However, no mention of policy-related limitations occurred in any information

As per the NASEM report recommendations, thespecific skills or constructs need to be clearly conceptualized and must be designed, developed,analyzed, and interpreted based on stakeholder needs [10].

They also had a limited window of time to make these choices: only a monthlay between finalizing their schedule and their anticipated departure date. While they did not referto literature on accelerated learning or studying abroad during this initial planning process, theydid leverage a variety of other research and teaching experience from their work at PUWL.

Sarasvathyproposed five heuristics that represent thinking in the effectual style of logic and situates them inopposition to what are referred to as ‘causal’ heuristics that aid decisions through predictiveapproaches and planning. The two sets of heuristics are reproduced in Table 1 below. Table 1 Table of effectual heuristics adapted from

Thereby, the task is to apply some empathic thinking and reasoningand to participate in two situations of a simulated public discussion about a planned infrastructuralproject.

However, ERCs currently undertake evaluation in relative isolationfrom other ERCs despite NSF’s encouragement of instrument sharing [3]. The nature of thisoften-solitary assessment results in each center developing and using similar but also divergentevaluation tools. A consequence of these multiple ERC assessments has created redundancy inthe investment of effort and resources at each center. Divergence in data collection from theseredundant efforts has made cross-center comparisons difficult, if not impossible.A consortium of three ERCs (Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired
