numerous educators and academics, but resultsabout its impact on learning have been mixed, partly because of a dearth of data [11]. Forcomprehensive, long-term learning, Kolb created a four-step model learning cycle. The steps areknown as active experimentation, reflecting observation, abstract conceptualization, and concreteexperience (doing) (using the ECP approach) as shown in Figure 2. It is anticipated that studentswill retain more information after taking courses that follow all these procedures [12, 13].Students directed through the learning cycle are also exposed to more excellent educationalopportunities and chances for individual thought and self-discovery.Fig.2 Kolb’s Learning Theory3 Methodology3.1 The Use of Experimentation and

Working in collaboration, the co-instructors refreshed the coursestructure to address two reoccurring themes observed in previous cohorts: (1) students strugglingto adopt a “post-academic” mindset; and (2) students not perceiving design documentation asintegral to the design process.The course was restructured to reflect a semi-imaginary consulting engineering firm, “MountainTop Engineering”, where the instructors acted as the firm’s CEOs, the students acted as thefirm’s engineering associates, and the firm’s customers were external industry or non-profitsponsors.

practice has not yet been evaluated to see if it is making any changes, it can bemeasured by comparing the reflection surveys taken after finishing this course in the previousyears and after infusing NACE competencies into the course syllabus in the Fall semester of2023. The future study can use the findings of the reflection survey to discuss the success of thispractice. This study introduces a process and challenges through which professors andinstructors can evaluate and modify their course outcomes to help prepare students for theircareers.ReferencesBiggs, J.

[1] define team personality composition as “a team-level index ofthe personality traits within the team, reflecting the strength (or elevation) of a given trait withinthe team and/or the heterogeneity of a trait within a team”. The study states the primary reason forcreating team-level indices of personality as relating personality characteristics to team-levelcriteria without inappropriately crossing levels of analysis.Personality traits are believed to be critical attributes in team composition research.

analysisThe co-word analysis method was proposed by Callon et al in 1983, which is a form ofcontent analysis method. A combination of words and noun phrases can be counted ina single document or document to reflect the intimate relationship between thesubjects.[18] It is generally believed by scholars that the higher the frequency ofoccurrence of two pairs of words in the same paper, the closer the relationship betweenthe two pairs is. Therefore, a co-word network composed of these pairs can be formedby counting the frequency of the pairs of words, and then it can be visualized throughdata analysis.In this paper, UCINET social network analysis software is used to analyze the co-wordnetwork.

For futurework, we also recommend that students need to be trained on what we expect from them whenanswering those types of prompts.When students are presented with metacognitive prompts during their solution of word problems,they are able to reflect on their understanding of the problem. The failure of students toadequately answer some of the prompts, as observed in this study, have also been documented byother investigators [15].In terms of limitations of the work, we noticed that students took a longer time solving wordproblems when prompts were added to a problem. This limits the amount of problems we coulduse in an assessment. We also learned that students need to be trained on how to answer promptsand on how to create appropriate

Weargue that this form for professional development contrasts with the traditional workshop-basedmodel by allowing instructors to engage in the following: ● Multiple Sources of Information: expertise is not solely located with the workshop designer/presenter but across contexts with focus on reflection/sensemaking on practice. ● Longer Timescale: allows for ongoing development and new problems/ideas to emerge which allows for gradual development of dynamic decision-making practices. ● Adaptation: promotes the idea that
