discussionforum was established for each case study, whereby every student contributed an originaldiscussion thread and engaged in at least two responses to a peer's contribution. In addition,students were actively encouraged to engage in questioning and responding within the discussionand not just limited to their particular case study.The outcomes of this new pedagogical approach have been remarkably positive. The onlineformat promoted increased interaction, richer and more profound discussions, higherparticipation rates, and well-thought-out responses. Students benefited from extended reflectionand research time compared to traditional in-class presentations, resulting in a morecomprehensive understanding of engineering ethics.

-campusinstruction.Key findings include the growth in civil engineering knowledge for each cohort regardless ofdelivery method. Learners consistently identified innovative activities like debates and livedemonstrations as the most impactful for student learning. They identified hands-on activitiesand field visits as the most engaging and memorable. At the end of each course, instructors self-identified as gaining knowledge of research-based educational methods, greater ease in teachingand managing a classroom, and confidence in assessing student learning. The innovativeteaching approach to pre-college education has encouraged new cohorts of high school studentsto pursue engineering as a career and current graduate students to pursue engineering educationas a

[3,4,5,6].There is a high level of stress among engineering students due to the difficulty of their degreeprogram. Grades and rigor have been identified as some of the most significant stressors forengineering students. High levels of stress can become part of the engineering culture and canbe passed on to new students. This cycle of expecting stress can lead to further elevating stresslevels for students and can even result in other mental health challenges. One study showed thatstudents enrolled in engineering programs are two times more likely to experience anxiety thantheir non-engineering classmates. In addition, another study found that engineering students whowere experiencing mental health issues sought treatment less often than other

Engineering Education, 2023 Pairing Self-Evaluation Activities with Self-Reflection to Engage Students Deeply in Multiple Metacognition StrategiesAbstractSelf-directed learning requires students engage deeply in all three metacognitive dimensions:Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluating. While instructors may currently integrate differentactivities in courses that provide the opportunity for students’ metacognitive engagement,they might not draw students into thinking deeply. For new engineering educators, it might bechallenging to select activities that could provide opportunity for sufficient studentengagement in metacognition. The purpose of the study was to investigate pairing self-evaluation and self-reflection activities by

. IntroductionEngineering education faces the continuous challenge of incorporating the latestresearch findings into its curriculum to ensure graduates are well-equipped totackle current and future technological challenges. Traditional methods ofcurriculum development often struggle to keep pace with the rapid advancementof technology and emerging research areas [1, 2]. Current approaches tointegrating research into engineering education primarily involve the introductionof elective courses, predetermined laboratory classes, or the occasional inclusionof term papers from existing courses. However, these methods have limitations,including insufficient coverage of new technologies and the lag in updating coursecontent to reflect the latest research developments

These analyses, interpretations, and conclusions are usually communicated in alaboratory report.Unfortunately, most faculty have little training or instruction in how to develop effective labreport assignments nor how to instruct students on how to write laboratory reports. This isespecially problematic for new faculty who additionally have little or no experience designing,assigning, and grading laboratory reports. Some engineering programs, such as the Writing-Enriched Curriculum program at the University of Minnesota and Engineering CommunicationProgram at Cornell, offer resources to support engineering faculty in writing pedagogies [4, 5

Inaddition, to knowing the basic programming skills it is imperative that students graduate with theability to utilize programming tools to solve complex engineering problems.In the mechanical engineering curriculum, dynamics is a critical course that all students musttake and it focuses on the analysis of objects in motion when acted upon by

Clearly articulated learning objectives or course outcomescan help students understand course expectations. When students understand what is expected ofthem in a course, they are empowered to take ownership of their learning journey and recognizewhen and where they are falling behind in their learning.
