However, SRL is not well known and utilized by theEngineering and Technology education community for facilitating student learning.Self-regulated learners are purposive and goal-oriented, incorporating and applying a variety ofstrategies to optimize their academic performances. However, the application of self-regulationto learning is a complicated process involving not only the awareness and application of learningstrategies but also extensive reflection and self awareness.

SEEM TO MATTERABSTRACTIn this paper we explore engineering student gains in confidence in professional andinterpersonal skills and intrinsic psychological motivation to study engineering. These twofactors were selected because they have been shown in other work from the Academic PathwaysStudy (APS) sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education (CAEE) tobe directly related to post-graduation plans and to several dimensions of the undergraduateexperience. We focus on students with positive confidence and/or motivation gains during theirfirst two years of college, and show that these students are distinct from those with negative orno gains in terms of persistence in the engineering profession, confidence in math and

However, guidance is still an important part of this educational environment. Itcompletes the process by opening the right doors for the students to apply the correct planning,designing, building and testing procedure for a successful project.

Second, the paper reports on thedevelopment, implementation, and subsequent evaluation of a senior design course at aninternational university, where practitioners have played a major role in planning and teachingthe capstone course.

The number and quality of students attracted to the program, 2. The extent to which graduates are employed or admitted to graduate school, and 3. The degree to which the program achieves its educational objectives.The first measure, enrollment, is, sine qua non, the most important and straightforward. This hasalready
