because “everything's very tied together and it's better to have a wide base of knowledge.”Within engineering contexts, Caleb recognized reflection as necessary to making sure projectsteps were documented and that students were reflecting on how they have grown through aproject because it is one of the things he has been asked to do in his classes. When asked abouthis fellow students’ reactions to professors prompting students to reflect, he said, “when it comesto non-engineering things, I’ve certainly witnessed if not experienced it myself, why are wedoing this.” Caleb suggested students tend to focus on the end product rather than the means andprocesses of a project. He hypothesized this focus on the end product, could be related to someof the

Although design is widely considered asthe most distinguishing and fundamental activity of engineering [1], most curricula have it either isolatedin the senior year or sometimes also in the first year. Now, as the engineering curriculum has progressed,first year design courses, known as the cornerstone engineering courses, and fourth year design courses,referred to as capstone courses, have seen increased development as well [1]. However, these capstonecourses serve as the only standard opportunity across engineering education for undergraduateengineering students to showcase their engineering

not difficult to repeat each term. Many timesstructural engineering and construction courses see projects under construction, which are good,but each term the trip must change as the construction evolves and eventually must end. The keyis trying to find an existing project that does not change. This greatly reduces the overhead ofthe field trip. Even better is to find such a structure or location right on campus to minimizetravel requirements. If all else fails, do a virtual tour with photos and video. This approach maybe even better suited to some classes that do not lend themselves to obvious physical applicationsnear campus.
