metacognitive reflections about their participation in these informal learningenvironments.Background and MotivationThe conceptualization of “thinking about thinking” has evolved since Flavell [8] first discussedmetacognition. Researchers have agreed that metacognition consists of knowledge of cognitionand regulation of cognition [8, 19, 20, 25]. Knowledge about cognition describes individuals’self-knowledge, knowledge about strategies, as well as appropriate application of differentstrategies in practice. Knowledge about cognition consists of three types of knowledge includingdeclarative knowledge, procedural knowledge and conditional knowledge [10]. Regulation ofcognition indicates that individuals are capable of planning, managing information

institutions like IUPUI meet certain accreditation requirements and requires thateach program develops a continuous improvement plan. The improvement plan typically consistsof a compilation of student materials, employer surveys, and course evaluations used to ensurecontinuous improvement within a program. In 2004 IUPUI, MET program faculty decided that astandardized senior examination would be part of the program process improvement process, [1].IntroductionThe Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) at IUPUI, has applied a seniorassessment examination as part of the senior capstone course for the past 12 years.

In addition to allowing incoming leaders the opportunity to debriefwith outgoing leaders, all participants were asked to provide input into a comprehensive annual calendarof activities (the ‘Calendar Calypso’). This planning process was configured to minimize conflictsbetween groups while maximizing opportunities for collaboration and cooperation. The exercise alsoprovided inspiration for

This will enable them to understandtheir own levels of aptitude and interest in a career in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) and give them the tools to prepare for the next stage in their education andcareer development.

The students were given three additional weeks to refine and complete afinalized plan and professional scaled model. At project close, the students presented theirproposed designs for the safe shelter project to the professor and the community partner. Thecommunity partner offered valuable insight as to the most appropriate solution, and offeredsuggestions for further refinement before the project could be constructed. At the semester’send, the community partner chose which design best embodied the design intent, and onestudent’s design was chosen, see Figure 1. This design was the springboard to further explorationand study. Figure 1

One teacher wrote: “I am so excited to think about the possibility of teaching students that have had a real hands-on experience.” Another teacher put it this way: “One of the questions that students often ask is ‘when am I ever going to use this?’ Some ask a similar question, ‘what can you do with a math or science degree besides teach?’ This project will help answer these questions for my students.” One principal commented about their teachers being excited about the project: “When these teachers learned that Tech was planning this project, without hesitation, they wanted to participate.

The planning semester was followed by three semesters of sequential design.Students enter the program at various stages of development and must complete defined portionsof the overall project.

time measurements: 1) Planning time: the duration from a student receiving the problem to the time (s)he startingto write code. Because these students haven’t taken any software engineering courses, they don’thave any formal knowledge of design and specification. They rely on the reading of the projectdescription to understand the requirements of the project. So this measurement tells us how muchtime the students take to comprehend the project requirements and it is not the time for design orrequirement analysis. 2) Coding time: the duration from when the student starts to write the code to her/hisattempt to run the first usage scenario of the project.
