prepare them forreal-world industry experience, or perhaps for engineering Capstone programs. Indeed, recentresearch makes this argument, that college engineering Capstone programs would be even moresuccessful if students were exposed to project-based learning earlier in their schooling.18Despite the ambiguity that often occurs in open-ended, project-based assignments, we learnedfrom students and our reflections that instructors should do the following to minimizeambiguities: • Provide a clear time-line of expected deliverables and due dates. • Provide grading criteria up front. • Make available numerous examples of each deliverable. • And provide regular, substantive feedback throughout the process

Thiscount of semesters in which students participated reflects a count of any semesters in which theyparticipated in one or more Tech to Teaching activities. The activity count is a count of the totalnumber of distinct Tech to Teaching activities in which they participated.     Page 22.32.21 Figure 10.

useexperimental data to validate or rejecttheir hypotheses. In the assignment as Figure 1: Raw (R) and hardboiled (B) eggs after 24well, higher-level questions that hours of incubation in water (1), syrup (2) and energyelevate the critical thinking skills of drink (3).the students were given. For example,students were asked to explain why boiled and raw eggs behaved differently in transportingsolutions (Figure 1)? Answers should have reflected on the concepts of permeability and proteindenaturation at elevated temperatures. In their assignment too, students were asked to quantifythe diffusion across the cellular membrane as well as the ionic strength concentration of the innerenvironment of the egg using Fick’s law. Based on their

challenge the status quo.Primary Traits: A passing submission for this criterion must: 1. Describe the situation or current mode of operation (status quo) and perceived constraints. 2. Present one or more questions that challenge the status quo. 3. Explain how each question is a challenge to the status quo.Potential Artifacts: reflective essay, blog, journal, presentationAdditional Information: 1. Common approaches to this type of questioning include asking “Why?”, “Why not?”, and “What if?” For example, “Why is program accreditation done every six years?” 2. It can be helpful to imagine an opposing situation or viewpoint. For example, “What if program accreditation was done by employers rather than agencies

), with little effort required, is developedthrough practice. The Instructional Implications section of this paper presents ideas on how thisknowledge can be developed for thermodynamics.Conditional Knowledge Conditional knowledge refers to students’ knowledge of the situations in which particulardeclarative or procedural knowledge should be applied.4,31 This knowledge reflects the students’awareness of when, where, and why other knowledge should be used, and this awarenessunderlies cognitive control during problem solving. That is, a student who knows the conditionsunder which some other particular knowledge should be used is positioned to recognize thoseconditions when they are encountered and, consequently, select the appropriate
