problem by deciding what to focus onabout the problem. This aspect also makes teaching design difficult, especially in the first yearwhen students have completed little to none of their technical coursework. To overcome thisissue, faculty sometimes reduce the complexity by making the design problem purely technical,removing social and policy factors. However, this approach can actually make the problem moredifficult for students, by obscuring the problem context and meaning. Another way facultyaddress the issue is by reducing the ill-structuredness, providing kit-based projects in whichstudents lack opportunities to frame the problem.We sought to investigate how first-year students navigated a complex and ill-structured designchallenge, guided by

educators to work with professional practitioners in practice-based fields suchas engineering. Similar sentiments are expressed by the National Academy of Engineering intheir recent report Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century17.Yet there are three interrelated challenges in bringing professional practice more fully into theclassroom. First, while college professors have expertise in teaching, they often lack the modernpractices required in fields that are constantly changing. The workaday demands of the full-timeacademic make it difficult for college teachers to keep up with state-of-art practices, even forthose with a strong background in industry. Second, while professional practitioners possessstate-of-art technical skills

Thestudy presented in this paper details the approach taken to replace in-class quizzes with regularout-of-class homework assignments in an introductory engineering mechanics course. Theobjectives of the study were to: 1) provide students with a variety of problems to apply both newand previous knowledge; 2) encourage engagement with the course material outside of in-personlessons; and 3) teach students to reflect and self-assess their own learning. Eighteen homeworkassignments were added throughout the thirty-lesson course. Each assignment consisted of twoparts; practice problems from previous lessons and conceptual responses based on preparation forthe next lesson. At the beginning of each class, students were given the

Surprisingly, the data was not readily available and certaintypes of retention information are kept for no more than two years.
