referred to as work in progress and is designed to be shared and discussedwith multiple audiences. When these kinds of examples were used, students demonstrated betterunderstanding of difficult, abstract concepts and praised the approach. Based on similarexperience that was gained and assessed by the author in other STEM subjects (Control Systems,Digital Signal Processing, Computer Algorithms, Algebra, Calculus, Statics, Thermodynamics,Statistics, and Physics), it is believed that the approach has promising potential. The planned assessment will focus on the effect of the new content on learning outcomes.It will emphasize concept comprehension and student interest in the topic. Clearly, using avariety of assessment methods provides a more

to facilitate exposure to professionalopportunities. Sometimes these events are planned remotely and attended by student cohorts,other times, coaching staff will attend the events with students. Each student is also matchedwith a mentor who is currently in the tech industry and has been found by the coaching staff.There is no formal training for these mentors, and each pairing navigates the particulars ofworking together for the summer. The program requests that the mentor-mentee pair attempt tomeet every other week; however, this is not required. Students also typically informally mentoreach other when returning home while talking through their experiences and challenges in thejob environment. These spontaneous conversations are

, listing known and unknownvariables, making an inventory of learned concepts, and devising a plan for solution. However,results of a subsequent survey revealed that, although students had improved their confidence insolving problems, the main perceived difficulty remains setting up and solving appropriatemathematical equations. This result is counter-intuitive, because early calculus and manipulationof simple algebraic equations are the main mathematical tools used in solving appliedthermodynamic problems at this level. These skills are considered acquired knowledge thatstudents are expected to have previously applied in first-year physics and calculus classes. Thisprompted both instructors involved in the project to re-consider the usual problem

During the first testing, the client testedboth design. However, there were some mechanical issues during testing. The client alsomentioned a ‘thicker’ foam for the socket would increase comfort for the stump. For the secondtesting, a higher density foam was used in the socket to achieve better comfort and tightnessaround the stump. The client tested both design and preferred the link-lock design as it providedmore stability. The client felt that the ball and socket design “unstable” because of the ball andsocket connection.Conclusion/Lessons learnedThe purpose of this paper was to

is also regarded as acomplex repository of knowledge and skills for planning, implementing, monitoring, evaluating,and continually improving the learning process. Self-regulated learning has been studied over morethan two decades in general classroom settings and various assessment methods exist in theliterature. It is commonly agreed that self-regulation is a good predictor of student’s academicsuccess. For instance, relationships were examined in [1] among motivational orientation, self-regulated learning, and classroom academic performance, and their regression analyses revealedthat self-regulation, self-efficacy, and test anxiety emerged as the best predictors of performance. In recent years, studies on SRL have been extended to

Until now, the modules have been made availablea week before they are due. The plan for future is to provide all modules in the beginning of thesemester.During the first semester of testing the blended format, the quizzes were not assigned. Instead thestudents were expected to know the material learnt from video lessons to work on theirhomework and in-class problems. It was found that there was a very small population of self-motivated students who actually watched the assigned lessons before designated lecture. Basedon this information, the

DBL posits that in problem solving situations, learners draw ontheir own past experiences and pre-existing knowledge to discover phenomena and how thosephenomena are related, and what is desirable to learn next [5]. Learners interact with theirenvironment through exploration, object manipulation, contemplation of questions andcontroversies, and experimentation. DBL activities promote learner-centered discovery asopposed to teacher-centered methods [6] and focus on planning, constructing, evaluating, anditerating a particular device, process, or solution to authentic problems [7], [8].

. Thisstrongly relates to metacognition.As described by Schraw and Dennison [2], metacognition refers to “the ability to reflect on,understand, and control one’s learning.” Sometimes described by the informal shorthand“thinking about thinking,” a more formal definition of metacognition typically includes elementsof knowledge of cognition (declarative knowledge involved with understanding learningprocesses and strategies, and knowing when to adopt a particular strategy), and regulation ofcognition (procedural knowledge of planning, monitoring, and adapting one’s learning) [3];although many other distinctions for elements of metacognition exist [4].Metacognition is a key asset as students transition to the more independent post-secondarylearning

For instance, ina study that investigated whether parents and children’s wishes were taken into account whenformulating a rehabilitation plan for the child, when parents perceived that such wishes weretaken into account—meaning, they had some sense of shared agency—they were more satisfiedthat their child’s needs were being met—meaning, they viewed their input as consequential [13].From a framing agency lens, we might consider formulating a rehabilitation plan as framing aproblem and consider the

Defining the boundaries and sub-fields of computer scienceand engineering would further address students’ epistemological qualifications and concerns.As they experience dimensions of these fields it is important for the students to be made aware of how they arereacting to these experiences, such as through reflection. Given that enjoyment and interest were the mostfrequently cited identity consideration, it would be tempting to design the course to maximize these pleasurableoutcomes. However it is easy to see how this could devolve into a curriculum that does not validly represent thefields. Rather, designers should plan experiences that are authentic windows into each field
