SIMPLE groupmembers are asked to write design memos that document their process in implementing a newstrategy. Design memos typically describe the strategy itself, why it was chosen, the type ofcourse in which it was used, if/how new activities were graded, how students responded, andlessons learned for future implementations. Design memos serve both as a means to sharestrategies and insights with other instructors and to provide a structure for reflecting on one’steaching.The group in question included a group leader, faculty member participants, and graduatestudents.

siteprovided students with ADHD an opportunity to engage in research outside the confines of thetraditional engineering curriculum and interact with other students facing similar challenges. Thispaper presents quantitative and qualitative findings from a semi-structured interview and post-program survey of the students’ experiences. Overall, the major findings suggest that participatingin the program enhanced students’ 1) interest in engineering research, 2) interest in pursuinggraduate studies in engineering, and 3) feelings of belonging in engineering. For instance, allparticipants (N=10) responded either “agree” or “strongly agree” to statements reflecting thatattending the REU site increased their interest in research and in pursuing graduate

We focused on student self-monitoring because it is a key element of metacognition as it is instrumental in directing learningbehaviors (Zimmerman 2005; Winne, 2005). The accuracy of self-monitoring is particularlyimportant for successful learning (Schraw & Gutierres, 2014).MethodsOur overall study is a quasi-experimental study with a pre/posttest design with an intervention(Krathwohl, 2009).

Also paramount is the quality of the projects: they must be challenging without beingoverwhelming. Finally, the need for reflection concerning the experience and its context (i.e. anaffirmation that the messiness of community projects offers other paths to learn) must also beaddressed.In the SLICE program, most of the S-L projects, as

It became clear that even if this intervention were effective, itwould be unlikely to be broadly implemented due to these challenges. The interventionresulted in only small trends in improved test performance. These observations led us toreconsider and redefine our writing prompt.After considerable re-assessment, discussion and continued research, we streamlined the writingassignment. In the latest iteration of the prompt, implemented during the Fall 2013 semester, weasked students to reflect on any confusion they had about how to solve the selected homeworkproblem and then revise this reflection after receiving instructor input

Within engineering and design teams, engineering educators are concerned not onlywith how individual students develop ethically, but also how everyday ethical decision-makingemerges during team interactions and becomes integrated in design solutions. Furthermore, theseethical decisions often do not present themselves as traditional dilemmas, but are issues that areconfronted in the everyday process of design, and are influenced by team members’ cultural anddisciplinary backgrounds and the ethical climates of the team and the organization.In considering engineering
