Confidence in Engineering Survey Results (Earlier Study)Students said that they learned a great deal from the EEP (Figure 5). About 30% had taken thecourse more than once. One student had taken it all seven semesters it has been offered. Most ofthe students said that they had learned a lot from the project experience. As would be expected,seniors all seem to have learned a lot because they had more to put into the program.

predicted and measured results would be of concern at an aircraft manufacturingplant, it was to be expected in this project given the students’ lack of manufacturing and testingexperience. Nonetheless, in an attempt to identify the source(s) of discrepancy, studentssearched for possible clues in their analysis procedure and underlying theory as well as thepossible anomalies with the fabrication process and the imperfections with the experimentalsetting.The availability of multiple samples for each design concept provided an excellent opportunity tofurther elaborate on the statistical nature of such experiments involving multiple randomvariables. In this case the random variables included the specimen dimensions, supportcondition, loading

. This is particularly true ofsmaller industries in nonmetropolitan areas with no Ph.D.’s (and often no Master degreerecipients) on their staff and sometimes few Bachelor-level college graduates at all, even amongthe “engineering” staff. The staff might feel threatened by bringing in someone “superior” tothem in technical ability. They might also feel a new/young engineering professor is still only a“kid.”The above perceptions can be addressed only by a ongoing, sensitive, and low key nurturing ofrelationships with key industrial personnel and letting them know in a nonthreatening manner ofone’s interest and capability in helping with their problems. It may take some time but generallythey will come around, often when a “crisis” suddenly occurs

S.5.2 – Metacognitive strategiesAmong the metacognitive strategies listed in table 2, those most often cited by students are : beaware of one’s progress and results, evaluate the quality and the efficiency of one’s cognitiveactivities. As a preliminary analysis, we ascribe that result to the fact that students have an examonce every two weeks (or each week if we consider the formative exam) instead of

class room or laboratory.For an engineer in industry, a project is a sequence of tasks required to reach an objective.Typically, the objective is to design a device or process that has value to a customer (user). Theproject begins by defining a performance problem associated with an application and ends with adesign solution. The problem drives the learning required to complete the project. Managing theproject requires the engineer to demonstrate effective teamwork, clear communication and theability to balance the social, economic and environmental impacts of the project. Project-basedlearning (PBL) is based on the practice of solving problems. The concept of problem-basedlearning was first developed in the medical field in the mid-1950’s. It

EPICSEPICS is an engineering-centered, multidisciplinary, service-learning program at PurdueUniversity that has received national recognition. Students enrolled in the EPICS courses learndesign while they develop projects for local or global community partners. In the 2011-2012academic year, over 500 students from more than 70 majors within the College of Engineeringand across the university have participated in EPICS. This program is structured with student-leddivisions, each with 8-20 students, a faculty or industry mentor, and a graduate teaching assistant(TA). Each division has one or more not-for-profit agency/ies (such as a museum, governmentservice, charity, etc.) as a community partner(s). The students work with their communitypartner(s) to
