. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Reflection and Metacognition in Capstone DesignAbstractReflection is a valuable skill that is not immediately familiar to many of our students. Our facultyteam has introduced systematic reflection in a two-semester multidisciplinary engineering designcourse at the United States Military Academy at West Point. A course goal is to produceengineers competent in designing with current technologies who are able to anticipate and torespond to change. Because a key component of the course has always been the assessment of thedesign against the requirements, we chose to augment the design process with multipleopportunities for reflection.This year’s course consists of 18 capstone

Engineering Education, 2019 Reflections on Eight Years of Undergraduate Research at Our Community CollegeAbstractSince 2010, San Antonio College (SAC) has been the center of a continuously increasing familyof undergraduate research projects hosted by Texas’ first Math, Engineering, and ScienceAchievement (MESA) Center. A paper presented at the 2012 ASEE Conference in San Antoniodescribed the start of this program at this community college. It has been widely reported thatundergraduate research programs at four-year institutions increase retention, improve students’success, and produce higher quality graduates. Results demonstrate that two-year institutions canalso initiate and maintain successful

Engineering Education, 2019 Beyond Likert Scales: Exploring Designers’ Perceptions through Visual Reflection ActivitiesAbstract When it comes to the assessment of design behaviors and outcomes, direct observations byexternal viewers and subjective reflections by the participants themselves can all yield importantinformation. External viewers, for example, may code video evidence or apply design metrics to adesigner’s solutions, both of which can lead to interesting statistical analyses and detailed insights.In collecting and analyzing designers’ personal reflections and perceptions, researchers oftenutilize Likert-type scales, multiple choice questions, or short open-ended prompts.

Reflection on the Road: How Recent First Year Students Exhibit Reflection During a Short-Term Study Abroad ExperienceAbstractStudy abroad experiences augment college and university curricula and expose students to aninternational setting with lectures, tours, and cultural activities. These studies raise awareness ofprofessional, social and cultural differences among countries. Students recognize globalchallenges to the engineering profession when they discover that another country faces similartechnical, social, cultural and resource-limiting challenges. They also learn that solutions tosimilar challenges in the U.S. may, or may not, be suitable in another country. Reflection is oneway to for students to derive

We have noticed that thisthoughtful reflection has begun to transform our mindset as we have prioritized the importanceof sustainable benefit to communities. That mindset change is exemplified in our vocabulary –the words we use to honestly describe our efforts to others or ourselves. Specifically, the wordsthat describe the attitudes we bring, the relationships we form, how we work together, theoutcomes we experience and finally, the resultant feelings of the community, have allexperienced a shift from left to right in Figure 1.When the focus of service

students’perception of engineering as especially important in biomedical engineering because it is both heavilyinterdisciplinary and heavily human focused [9,10]. In biomedical engineering, content traditionallyseen as mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering is merged into novel curricula that are human-focused, creating conditions where biomedical engineering students may develop a differentunderstanding than students from other engineering majors.The purpose of this paper is a preliminary analysis of students’ reflections on the epistemologicalboundaries of engineering. We want to understand the boundaries that students establish regardingengineering and the way in which they articulate those boundaries. As an initial step towards that goal

, collaborative in theirdecision-making, and humbly self-confident in their behaviors.The five-semester leadership program, commencing spring of sophomore year, is designed toprovide a cohort of students with a broader perspective of the world in which they will live andwork. Personal growth and self-improvement, rooted in reflection and dialogue, are thefoundation of the program. Engagement with industry professionals and development of self-awareness helps them discover a sense for how they will fit into this world, a deeper insight intotheir individual potential, and a specific view of how they want to begin their professionalcareers. Students earn a certificate in Holistic Leadership upon completion of the program.Students in the Zachry Leadership
