Such awareness and monitoring processes are often refer to asmetacognition –“ the processes in which the individual carefully considers thoughts in problemsolving situations through the strategies of self-planning, self-monitoring, self-regulating, self-questioning, self-reflecting, and or self-reviewing” [1]. The contention of this research is thatmetacognitive awareness on the part of students can be improved through systematic and directinstructions on strategic thinking. To support that, three important metacognitive interventions,as detailed below, are carefully designed into the interactive game activities.• Road Map training

development of a hands-onapproach to manufacturing education. This offers students skills that directly prepare them forcareers in manufacturing, design and product realization. Four knowledge areas withcorresponding detailed learning outcomes were identified for study namely: (1) drafting/design,(2) manufacturing process, (3) process engineering, and (4) CAD/CAM. Based on these, a corecurriculum shared between the partner institutions was developed. This encapsulates the MILLmanufacturing competency model. Assessment instruments to measure student learning werealso developed. Sample test items were developed for all competencies in a series of internalmeetings held among MILL Project staff.

(Technically the spheres produced are not microspheres since their diameter isabout 1-3 millimeters). The model drug used in this experiment is food coloring. Drug releasestudies are performed by placing the drug-loaded microspheres in a beaker containing water.Concentration measurements are made periodically by measuring absorbance of the surroundingsolution (into which dye has been released) using a spectrophotometer. The release rate of thedrug from the microspheres is analyzed using an Excel spreadsheet. The learning objectives ofthe experiment are: 1. Define a

What does it mean to function on a multi-disciplinary team? 2. What should be used to measure students’ ability to do so? 3. How will teamwork in the classroom be used to enhance this ability? 4. What effect does teamwork have on the enhancement of learning?Answering these questions is essential if engineering

As an example, forthermodynamics an existing power plant might be chosen for the scenario. Whereas students aregenerally told “a turbine exists at these conditions,” here they will be told what type of turbine itis, what the turbine’s purpose is, and where the operating conditions come from. The addedvisual information and the move from a generic problem to one with its’ own identity has beenshown during Phase 1 to increase student engagement and subsequently performance.This type of material would be infeasible for traditional paper textbooks due to space and formatlimitations.

In particular, wedescribe the capstone multidisciplinary fabrication experiments that we have designed. Junior level courses from four departments will integrate microfabrication experimentalmodules into the existing syllabi. These modules will expose students to the concept of a cleanroom, the concept of microfabrication, and attract and interest them in the

Moving engineering education research into practice is a more complicated task than itmight initially seem. There are many significant barriers to hinder the transition from research toimplementation. These barriers can be categorized into two groups: (1) individual barriers, suchas personality characteristics that contribute to a lack of willingness to implement innovations, aswell as a lack of knowledge about engineering education research; and (2) environmentalperceptions, such as perceptions of the tenure and
