ENGINEERINGIntroductionThe research reported in this paper reflects an effort to enhance student self-awareness and toself-regulate their learning in a Special Topics Course taught during the fall semester at JacksonState University. The students were introduced to the concepts of software engineering,systems engineering and problem solving in support of a semester level project based upon smallteam dynamics. Emphasis was placed on monitoring the students’ feedback on a number ofissues related to self-regulated learning concepts of motivation, study techniques, self awarenessand metacognition. The primary purpose of the research was to attempt to understand andmentor junior and senior level students in computer engineering in regard to their learning andstudy

Creating an environment for learning Helping students become autonomous, self-regulated learners Reflecting on and evaluating their teaching5.With these strategies in mind, ELVIS was employed during lectures for real-time demonstrationsof circuit performance in a second electronics class, EE 338K (a junior/senior level elective with20 students) in the College of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin in the summer2003 term. The experienced faculty member (JP) was aware of the perplexing nature of thetopics for many students and he wanted to integrate ELVIS into his lectures in order to helpstudents visualize concepts that are more traditionally taught using only mathematical formulasand to give them a context for theoretical

Service-learning in higher education was pioneered by Ernest Boyer (1990,1996) and by a number of others (Harkavay, 2004; Eyler and Giles, 1999

the other teams and the class discussed the merits and drawbacks of each. The majority of theresponsibility for analyzing the designs rested with the students in an effort to develop autonomy.As described in the SKI framework, autonomous learning was facilitated by having the studentsserve as social supports for each other through sharing design ideas, providing feedback, andcritiquing each other’s designs2.Self-reflection was also achieved through the sharing of designs and ideas. Since the activity wasstructured in a collaborative learning environment, individual student self-reflection becamevoiced through the group discourse. Therefore, the students’ thinking became ‘visible’throughout the class demonstrations and discussions. As

experience. To assess student perceptions of thenew curriculum intervention, reflections were collected and qualitatively analyzed resulting in 3overarching themes, including creativity in user-centered design, time management, andcommunication/collaboration. These themes demonstrate that students felt they acquired orexpanded skills that are considered vital in a work environment. Therefore, applying this projectexperience on a larger scale can alleviate some of the unpreparedness that engineering studentsfeel as they leave school and enter the workforce. The intervention details will be provided toencourage other engineering instructors to implement similar real-world learning strategies in thehigher education classroom.IntroductionMany

Byparticipating in self-reflection, students will be able to carry associated self-regulated learninghabits into later courses and achieve a more active role in their learning experiences.

decades, research is still in its infancy within the discipline of engineering educationwith only one research team studying VTS on engineering students. In 2017, Campbell and hiscollaborators introduced VTS to upper-level engineering students in hopes of creating morereflective engineers [14]. A comparison of essay responses before and after the VTS experienceshowed that students were indeed more reflective afterward, though the essay prompt was relatedto the art they previously viewed rather than engineering concepts [14]. They expanded upontheir work with graduate engineering students using instrumentations for insight, contextualcompetence, reflective skepticism, and interdisciplinary skills [15] and using reflective prompts[16] [17] [18

Technical Mastery –leadership practiced by teaching others; 2. Collaborative Optimization – leadership practiced by gathering and influencing teams; 3. Organizational Innovation— leadership practiced by creating market solutions.These three orientations reflect the skills, behaviors, and values commonly exhibited by leadersin the engineering profession; they also provide a coherent and

Reichlmayr briefly describes the postmortem process where teams useprocess metrics to reflect on and improve process management.Two recent papers further report the use of Agile software development methodology for courseprojects [8,14]. In one paper, the authors describe an upper-level course where students use theiterative features of Agile that allow them to repeat cycles where they “see and use tools thatthey can explain and check.

Data, consisting ofwritten reflections and transcribed interviews, were gathered from three STEM faculty memberswho each played a different role in the change process: a mathematics instructor implementingthe online forum within his course; an engineering faculty peer-mentor assisting with theimplementation of the online forum; and a STEM education faculty member evaluating theimplementation and observing the process of change.

In his paper describing thisknowing-in-action, Schön suggests a concept like Dreyfus and Dreyfus, an expert who tries toteach their craft or practice must reflect on specific situations and contexts to describe how theywould approach them. It is in this manner that design knowledge is created, reflecting on thepractice and process to develop a knowledge base unique to each designer. Schön describes thisevent as either reflection-in-action or reflection-on-action.This reflection practice is crucial to design, for building knowledge and for developing a bestpractice.

Each of these reform documents emphasizes an approach to the teaching andlearning of science, which highlights scientific inquiry as a prominent feature. As such,teaching science as inquiry serves as the foundation of the course.The major goals for the course include assisting students in developing positivedispositions toward science teaching and learning, becoming familiar with the goals ofcontemporary

They are challenging to frame and scope, giventhe lack of an obvious “stopping point” when the problem to solution process is complete.Wicked problems reflect pressing societal issues like climate change, transportation and urbandevelopment, healthcare and technological unemployment – problems that frequently engage thetechnical expertise of engineers but require a breadth of disciplinary knowledge outside ofengineering as well, requiring strong collaborative skills and an intellectual

by Dewey (1937) asa cyclical learning model in the education process with four components: concrete experience,reflection, abstraction, and application [5].Experiential learning refers to the transformation of experiences into applied knowledge [6] witha deliberate importance placed on the reflexive nature of learning [7]. Kolb’s experientiallearning theory is a noted example of a commonly cited learning theory presented in theliterature that maintains humanistic roots [8]. Experiential learning theory not only includes thecognitive aspects of learning, but also addresses one’s subjective experiences [9], defininglearning as “the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience”(Kolb, 1984, p. 41).

Over the course of the semester, the faculty’s use of empathy in the classroomincreased. Positive feedback from the students during class and in regular student evaluations ofthe class encouraged the faculty to continue to explicitly adopt empathetic actions in this class.Our findings indicate that there are benefits of teacher empathy within engineering education.The immediate positive benefit for the faculty is an

In an un-gradingstructure, both instructors and students participate in holistic reflection and assessmentthroughout the course. Proponents of un-grading often note that success outside of the classroomdepends not only on development of knowledge and skills, but also behaviors and practices.Therefore, an un-grading approach often does include assessment of things like participation inclass or timeliness. This holistic approach recognizes that different students have different goalsand interests and makes pathways to success that support the intrinsic motivation of students.A challenge of alternative grading is balancing both structure and nuance
