Herbert Simon points out that the basic principle of the enterprise of cognitivestudies is that “learning takes place inside the learner and only inside the learner”.12 However,Simon also recognizes that “whether from books or people, at least 90% of what we have in ourheads . . . is acquired by social processes, including watching others, listening to them, andreading their writings”. The RCS takes into account this socially distributed nature of learningby building an optimal

EngineerThroughout the Introduction to Engineering I course, students explore the field of engineeringand consider their reasons for pursuing an engineering major. The One-Minute Engineer is athree-part assignment where students first write a 300-400 word essay about why they arestudying engineer, conduct a peer-edit to reduce the word count to approximately 150 words, andfinally, present their One-Minute Engineer orally in front of their classmates. This assignmenthelps students articulate why they want to be an engineer while honing their technical writingand presentation skills. In their written drafts and presentations, students were required to reflecton at least one of their top-five Strengths.Results and DiscussionTeam formationIn general, the four

Reading without interacting, or“lurking,” can be seen as passive or vicarious participation; however, this behavior canstill help to increase understanding and may provide a sense of belonging or communitywithin the group [13].The public nature of blogs has resulted in some interesting findings as well. Typically,blogs are openly posted on the World Wide Web, ostensibly accessible to anyone with anInternet connection and a web browser. Public blog post writing has been found to bemore concise and focused, due in part to students' desires to appear competent andarticulate to a public audience [14].

Page 11.256.3Tip #1: “Invest In Yourself” – When you successfully defend your doctoral dissertation,you are one of the best in the world in your field of Topic X. Thus, you have the bestchance to make an immediate scholarly impact by: • writing one or two more papers in Topic X. This keeps your publishing record intact and shows you can publish papers on your own (usually a key “deliverable” of a national research grant) • making a “lateral move” into a new, but parallel field of research.

Our review of the literature paired with our personal experiencessuggest that there are several factors that affect these three aspects of graduate student identitydevelopment. First, students are more likely to develop a stronger graduate student identity when theyfeel more competent in their disciplinary and writing skills (Burt, 2014). In a study thatinvestigated the impact writing had on graduate student identity, graduate students shared thatthey often feel ashamed of their work and compare themselves to their peers (Del Toro, 2017).Students were afraid to share their work in

Computing projects offer the ability tointroduce more open-ended problems in the mechanics courses where students can think about certainconcepts more deeply. It also provides the opportunity to introduce important ideas of numerical analysisin a way that makes those techniques immediately relevant. The projects also encourage students to getmore creative, in courses often viewed as skill development, by seeking means to verify their codes andthen use those codes to explore the target problem without the encumbrance of tedious hand calculations.Requiring that each student write a full
