It is only with this level of critical thinking that engineering solutions to the relevant problems in the world can be addressed. In encouraging these levels of thinking at earlier stages in the academic careers of students, the rate of processing information will be more and more effective with the development of these abilities. In the age of information where there is not enough time to fully grasp all available quantities, much less retain it, the individual becomes suppressed by the Remembering and Understanding stages.

As Grites12 contends “transfer students need anorientation to the culture of the new campus, the academic and social impacts of the newenvironment, the academic advising structure, and the support services, activities, andorganizations that are available to them” (p. 126).

Students were expected to find and utilize availableresources (textbook, web, peer-based learning, etc.) to complete the assignments. The goal forthis pedagogical approach was to develop individual learning skills that would better preparestudents for careers in industry where sparse guided assistance is available and moreresponsibility is on the learner to find, evaluate, and then integrate sources of

Ryancame straight from an engineering undergrad and was drawn to this program, saying “I figuredout that I don’t want to do structures (structural engineering design on buildings/bridges) withmy career, I want to do something broader, solve some more problems that affect more people.”We chose these case study students to explore how two students with different backgrounds, butwith high-engagement in the class grappled with the challenges of learning in a project-basedsetting

Challenges frequently associated with senior capstonedesign courses, as described by others1 and experienced in our course are as follows: 1. An atypical course format: Typical undergraduate courses follow the classic structure of lectures, homework, labs, and exams. Capstone courses are centered on nontechnical lectures, project benchmarks, student presentations, and design reviews. The nontraditional course format is jarring to many students. 2.

While many studies have examined how students engage inengineering design, none have looked at how students understand engineering design, and howpersonal definitions can influence undergraduate students’ perspectives on their studies and theprofession.Typically, in defining engineering design, instructors rely on textbooks which arrive with rich,well thought out, and thorough definitions of engineering design.
