results obtained from EML 3126, which was mostly made up of students in their freshman orsophomore year of the program, and compares them to the results from EML 4706, which wasmade up of students in their junior and senior year. The final group simply reported the results ofthe final two courses EML 3126-L and EML 4608-C individually. For this paper, only theresults selected from the first group are presented for the sake of briefness. Figure 5 shows a breakdown of the number of students who completed the survey fromeach course and their composition. It can be seen that the majority of the sample was made up ofstudents from EML 3126-L, followed by EML3126, then EML 4706, and finally EML 4608-C.The majority of the students surveyed were male

, within engineering we know little about how studentsapproach open-book testing, particularly with regard to how they spend their time on differenttasks and how this division of time may affect performance.The study in this paper examined the testing behavior of 8 senior materials science andengineering students at a large public university in the southeastern US. Students completed fourengineering problems during individual laboratory sessions while engaged in a think-aloudprocedure (i.e., verbally explaining their thought processes as they worked through theproblems). The problems were designed to vary in terms of their closed or open-endedness andthe number of decision points involved in their solution. Students’ think-aloud protocols
