course was developed for this project. The scope of the course, as listed in the syllabus,was presented as energy conversion from gasoline to electric for a land vehicle. The broadobjectives of the course were: (1) to enable the student to develop skills/understanding of topicson an individual or team basis; and (2) to enable the student to develop deeper understanding of aspecific engineering topic related to the student’s academic interest.The 3-credit hour course description was as follows: “Land vehicles are powered using variousenergy sources such as fossil fuel base, and alternative sources. Increasingly, efforts are beingmade to develop less polluting land vehicles; hence studies on conversion from fossil fuel to useof alternative energy

iterations), ● both a descriptive and a reflective orientation (we sought to describe events and to document how the events were experienced), and ● an evolutionary perspective (in which we recognized that designs represent starting conditions that evolve over time in ways that are important to trace).The focus of the work is on the efforts of three educators who integrated micro-reflectionactivities into their weekly teaching responsibilities (specifically the teaching of studio sessions).The three educators varied in their preparation for their teaching responsibilities in the course.One of the three educators was experienced in that she had taught in the course for over a yearand had contributed to the redesigning several elements of
students, and students with demonstrated need for academic support during the transition from high school to college.Jennie S.
