We included four groups of variables for analysis in light of the conceptual framework for thisstudy and used the general Input-Environment-Outcome framework to assess learning experience andoutcomes in postsecondary education [32, 33]. The focus of interest for the study was self-directedlearning. We included five measures—motivation for learning, time management, self-regulation,persistence, and help-seeking—to serve as the self-directed learning (SDL) indicators as theyrepresent the key characteristics of self-directed learners [10].

A more experienced instructor might make notes based on a composite ofknowledge in the field, but will still be constrained to coordinate notes with the outline of thetextbook. The textbook becomes the primary organizational vehicle for the course. However,some students will not read much of the textbook, relying instead on taking notes during class. 2The instructor uses the textbook-oriented notes for the classroom lectures, usually writing thenotes on a whiteboard or presenting them via computerized projection while speaking. Studentscopy the notes, either by hand or by using a computer. The instructor’s notes

educationliterature. In fact, modern expectancy-value theories argue that individuals' choice, persistenceand performance can be explained by their beliefs about how well they will do on the activityand the extent to which they value the activity [9, 10]. For example, a student chooses to engagewith different course materials because they believe it will increase their performance or overallunderstanding. Likewise, interest in a topic and empowerment to make choices in their learningengagement can determine whether or not a student performs well in a course. To betterunderstand the expected value of different course materials, the project leveraged a popular,validated survey methodology known as the MUSIC Inventory. The MUSIC Inventory measuresthe five

With this new knowledge, students can also pursue hobbies and projects relevant to thefield of electronics using their equipment.Lessons LearnedWith the potential of future disease outbreaks and the increase in online education, the need foronline learning is necessary to provide a laboratory experience remotely with physicalequipment. Furthermore, online learning can provide an opportunity for students unable to attenda physical university location. While challenging, hands-on laboratory learning can occur at adistance.

information, it is unclear whether this indicates a decrease in monitoringbehavior, or an increase in difficulty of course readings. Two other survey items related toreading showed a decrease in agreement, but the difference between the end and beginning of thecourse was not significant (Figures 13 and 14). It may be that students found the course readingsmore difficult toward the end of the course; this material required synthesis and application ofprevious course concepts. Additionally, students may be busier toward the end of the semesterwith projects and exams in other courses which may compete for their study time.As shown in Figure 12, there was no significant change in how students responded to thefollowing item: “When studying for this course

The clayis saturated, meaning the void space is filled with water, and a reduction in the void volumerequires that water in the voids must be discharged from the voids and flow to another location.Soil consolidation models utilize principles from mathematics, solid mechanics, and fluidmechanics. Students learn these principles in trigonometry, calculus, differential equations,physics, strength of materials, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.Consolidation results in a change in volume that is expressed, near the surface, as settlement(often of the structure that caused the increased stress). Unexpected settlement can bedetrimental to a project, not only to the
effective to make each report due within a few weeks of completing the lab instead of both reports due during the same week. • Better handouts for some of the labs would go a long way for this course. Also, it is sometimes unclear what the instructor is looking for in certain sections of the report. Having three big projects worth a large percentage of the course grade due the week before finals is not an ideal situation. A suggestion would be to spread due dates out more.COVID Operation in the Context of ABET Student OutcomesFour of the seven ABET student outcomes are directly related to the lab courses, althoughOutcome 1 is largely covered in all engineering courses.

assessment of student performance in a course directly tied to a specific program outcomeis referred to as an embedded indicator. This type of information reflects a direct assessmentmethod and can provide quite useful information. To be clear, embedded indicators do not referto course grades, and we will discuss those separately. Embedded indicators relate to studentperformance on a particular activity, such as an exam question, project, or report, and correlate toa particular outcome. Courses that are more relevant to a particular outcome, such as shown inTable 1, are better choices for utilizing embedded indicators. It is important for the score of theactivity to directly correlate to a specific outcome. This may take a little time on the part of

requirement, under learningoutcome (d), that students be able to “function on multidisciplinary teams” [25]. Insofar as mostprograms utilized their capstone design experience to bring their students together, most collegesmix, at best, students from different engineering disciplines rather than drawing on studentsmajoring in business, economics, and other relevant fields such as history, psychology, andanthropology. Some programs also simply choose projects that require multiple disciplinaryperspectives to be applied without requiring the students themselves to come from differentdisciplinary backgrounds. The current guideline says multidisciplinary capstone design. [In] the new guideline, which will probably go live December 1

The benefit of the course to her,then, was not only having furthered her understanding of her identity development, but feelingready to share that with the world. Taken together, these data suggest the course was able to helpstudents progress in their self-concept clarity and the projection of that clarity, regardless of thelevel of self-concept clarity with which they entered.With these findings from the inductive
