,particularly when unraveling ill-structured problems such as engineering design. The major aimof this five-year research project is to study the self-regulated learning (SRL) activities of collegeseniors engaged in a capstone engineering design project. This project is grounded in Butler andCartier’s SRL model, which describes the interplay between affect, motivation, cognition, andmetacognition within academic engineering design activities. Dym & Little’s design processmodel was also used as sensitizing theoretical framework. Specific objectives of the researchactivities in this project are to (1) Build research protocols and tools for studying student self-regulation; (2) Describe the self-regulation strategies in which students engage

Additionally, CooL:SLiCE is currentlyincorporated into the sustainability modules of three engineering courses (i.e., Integrated ProductDevelopment, Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing, and Sustainable Manufacturing)offered at the three universities from which we expect to collect over 125 student assessments ofCooL:SLiCE for analyses. Additionally, this research will provide behavioral findings byinvestigating how learners with different levels of autonomy engage in cyberlearningenvironments.In one of the engineering courses (Integrated Product Development) that introduced CooL:SLiCE,semester-long group projects

The second goal is to improve assessment of students’ abilities toapply sustainable engineering design concepts across different problems or design challenges.We hypothesize that with guided practice and feedback, engineering undergraduate students willbecome better at drawing upon and integrating diverse knowledge domains when they are facedwith new, complex problems during professional practice. Project work began in September2015 through the NSF Research in Engineering Education program.Cognitive flexibility theory (CFT)1 provides a basis for assessing and improving students’knowledge transfer and the connection-building required to adequately address sustainabilityproblems

four levels:  Level 1: Freshman engineering.  Level 2: Basic digital system.  Level 3: Advanced digital system without a processor.  Level 4: Advanced digital system with a processor.  Level 5: Capstone projects. The level 1 is for freshman engineering students. Many schools now have an “introductionto engineering’’ course for the new engineering students. It is usually a project-oriented courseto introduce the basic engineering concepts and practices. The level 2 corresponds to the first digital system course in the curriculum, which covers thecombinational circuits, sequential circuits, and FSM 17. Unlike the first digital system course, there is no single “standard” follow-up course. Theadvanced topics

In regard to safety, safety concerns are paramount in industry, while they may not beextensively covered in engineering coursework. Certainly, safety is emphasized in lab classes,and a capstone design project may include safety as a criterion; but the issues of meetingindustry-specific safety standards, machine guarding, and OSHA requirements are much moreprevalent in industry than in any undergraduate courses.ImplicationsReturners and direct pathway students do not differ in their self-perception of their ability toutilize computer applications.

and Barnes 2009). When compared to writing code in atraditional programming assignment, the students that practiced the learning objectives within agame environment outperformed students who participated in the traditional assignment (Eagleand Barnes 2009).There are several ways to assess student progress towards learning goals. Traditional methodsinclude, but are not limited to, quizzes, papers, projects, reports, portfolios, exams, attitudesurveys, journal entries, and capstone design projects. However, entirely student-designed gamesas a method for assessing student learning is absent from the literature.This paper explores the use of student-developed board games as a method to assess studentmastery of construction and engineering
