By acquiring multiple sources of information about the sameevent occurring in a social setting, researchers can integrate and triangulate these data, enhancingthe analysis’ depth and accuracy. Therefore, in this research project, the researcher engaged inextensive first-hand observation in classroom settings throughout the semester, collectedstudents’ written responses reflecting their class, and conducted open-ended interviews designedto validate our findings with students’ perspectives. Second, investigations of instructors’ pedagogical practices in naturalistic settings, versusin a laboratory or through lab-based experiments, can yield different findings (Le Compte &Goetz, 1982). Indeed, identifying instructor’s

thepotential impact of the on-going work was evident [30]. It is well-accepted that the currentgeneration of college students have an affinity for environmental and social issues and thatlinking efforts to these “Grand Challenges” is inspirational and provides an external motivationfor long-term career goals [31], [32]. The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation(LSAMP) program was used to give the RS students their first experience working in a modernresearch laboratory as a team member under faculty direction [33]. Once the students hadexperienced working under a faculty member, they were given a chance to direct a project oftheir own choosing. Similar to a capstone experience, self-directed technical work buildsconfidence and marketable

This collaboration built a strong connection between the two instructors and the students.The course provided a more casual environment beyond the structured technical content of eachinstructor's respective discipline-specific courses.Additional Engineering Course MeetingsThe standard first-year engineering course is typically taught twice a week, with each sessionlasting an hour and fifty minutes. Throughout the year, the engineering class for SSP studentswas extended to three days, providing increased contact hours with their instructor.

, within engineering we know little about how studentsapproach open-book testing, particularly with regard to how they spend their time on differenttasks and how this division of time may affect performance.The study in this paper examined the testing behavior of 8 senior materials science andengineering students at a large public university in the southeastern US. Students completed fourengineering problems during individual laboratory sessions while engaged in a think-aloudprocedure (i.e., verbally explaining their thought processes as they worked through theproblems). The problems were designed to vary in terms of their closed or open-endedness andthe number of decision points involved in their solution. Students’ think-aloud protocols
