theeducational strategies and decide where the assessment data should be collected.To carry out the assessment, a course titled “EMT 2480L: Electromechanical Systems DesignLaboratory” was selected. The course is a sophomore-level, one-credit laboratory with threecontact hours. The course introduces 2D & 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE). Students learn how to use industry-leading CAD software programs [2,3, 4, 5] (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, VFEA) to build parts and assemblies. Computer-AidedEngineering (CAE) techniques are utilized to introduce concepts of mechanics of materials neededto analyze the component(s).The topics covered include a) introduction of fundamental 2D/3D modeling tools and techniquesfor the

, credit-bearing courses was confusing and it de-legitimatized theProgram. In addition, numerous first year students expressed the valid observation that aprogram that is mandatory for graduation should be credit-bearing. Therefore, in fall 2017, sixnew courses, each worth 0.5 credits, were created for the Career Compass program. These threecredits must be successfully completed (e.g. earning a Satisfactory) for a student to graduate.Students must earn at least 90 out of 100 points to earn an S. An optional fourth year ofprogramming has been developed, so it will be possible for students to earn 1 additional electivecredit during their senior year.

. Metacognition is the awareness and regulation of one’s own learning.Metacognition’s origin was in the context of learning in the early 1970’s [10]. In this paper, weare focused on the knowledge and awareness of cognitive activities, though other fields havesuggested metacognition could reasonably encompass all aspects of psychology [11].Metacognition of learning develops naturally as children mature and can also be advancedthrough active instruction and practice, which has been advocated by scholars for decades [11],[12]. In undergraduate contexts, students are likely to have “scripts” for learning that are resistantto change [2]. To address this challenge, Cunningham, Matusovich, Hunter, & McCord createdthe Metacognition Model (Fig. 1) to
