Each weekof the semester, students attend three hours of technical content lectures, one hour of homeworkproblem discussion, one hour of laboratory session to learn relevant design software, and one houropen to discuss their team projects with each other, the instructor, and teaching assistants (TA).In addition to the design project and homework, students are also evaluated through quizzes andexams. Thus, the course is a blend of problem-based learning, in which each team has to completethe design project, as well as traditional lecture-based recitation learning.Semester ProjectFor the 2018 edition of the course, the design project selected was the construction of a new tourismcorridor in Puerto Rico

While helpful for developing ourunderstanding of metacognition, its function, and its development, we need assessments that aidthe metacognitive development of our students.
