epistemic cognition11 within an undergraduate experience, we are using situatedlearning5,6, role identity, and epistemic cognition as theoretical lenses. Situated learning providesa framework for us to investigate students’ identity development and epistemic cognition as theyintegrate into a research group, which can be recognized as a community of practice5,6. Throughlegitimate peripheral participation within their URE, students will develop their identities asresearchers and their beliefs about how knowledge is created and justified within the field. In thisinitial phase of our work, we are using situated learning to begin to understand the connectionsbetween identity and epistemic cognition within a URE.Executive SummaryOur detailed plan for

Through this evaluation, the teachers reported engaging inactivities in the ACTlab, such as the ‘Speed Dating’ and ‘Bag of Improbable Materials’ whichthey would use in their classrooms.

Students wrote down their predicted answerwith some justification. A brief demonstration followed, allowing students to observe whatactually happened. The instructor concluded the activity with a 5 minute explanation of thetheory governing the system. Within a week of the in-class activity, students in Class Ccompleted a brief set of structured questions, aimed to engage students in reflection.

residents were asked to reduce the amount of bathroom water used. The reservoir came within one day of having no usable water supply, and the student’s university came close to shutting off the water supply to all dormitories. Luckily, a substantial rainfall event avoided this situation. Anticipating future droughts, City and University administrators asked local engineering firms to develop a plan to reduce the amount of water used by businesses in the area and the dorms serving the students at your university. These plans are to be implemented by the year 2020. Failure to implement these technologies results in stiff financial fines.After reading this description, the students answered questions outlined in Table 2. Thesequestions were designed

feedback about the relative challenge of individualproblems (“The A-problem was just like the example, but man, that B problem was wild!”)If, with careful monitoring, student learning is not going as planned, the instructor must beprepared to deviate from the previously planned progressive peer group. Variations on thismethod that the author has invoked include: having the entire class work on one problemtogether, nominally in groups of threes, but coming together as a class to work through thechallenging portions and discuss ideas on how to proceed. The author has also stoppedprogressive peer work to bring the entire class together to discuss a concept if it is clear there iswide-spread confusion or misconceptions. There have been times where

definition of“design” as “the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system ormeasurable human interaction [from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design].” Designing usually needs to consider the aesthetic,functional, economic and societal dimensions of both the design object and design process.Learning the design methods and processes through project-based learning activities seems tobe an important route for students to understanding the merging of materials science withengineering for future challenges as reported [4-6].

Bill, an educational assistance plan for eligibleveterans. Connecting veteran students with the support skills they need is crucial to theircontinuing success, in the classroom and beyond. Studies suggest that veteran students performto their academic best when given clear objectives and product exemplars, with a focus on best-practice—a result that runs contrary to received wisdom in composition pedagogy research.
