One reason for implementing a journal was to personalize the course for this25%, including older students who often feel disinterested or out of place in a 100-level course.Reflective journaling was constructed on three core principles. Students should (1) considertheir own expectations for personal learning in courses; (2) practice establishing and monitoringacademic, personal, and/or professional goals; and (3) engage in honest self-reflection that isshared with their instructor. The journal tool in Blackboard provides a private communicationspace between student and instructor. Having appropriate and meaningful prompts is critical forguiding students on what to write about. Prompts are designed to accommodate students atvarious points

Further, Iseem to jump from stress and strain to the connection between the graph and material behavior.Dr. Middendorf predicts this sort of realization: “we have found that everyone who takes thiswork seriously starts with a bottleneck and then finds that within that bottleneck lie many morebottlenecks…. Think of the layers of the onion metaphor” (personal communication, August 6,2012). One expert move that I seem to make, therefore, is the use and interpretation of datagraphs, something that may be a bottleneck for my students.

Peer evaluationshelp to teach individuals and teams how to act and how to assess one another’s performance.Peer evaluations, as facilitated by CATME and its behavior anchored rating system, provide astrong model for facilitating the learning of teamwork behavior [14, 15].Research MethodsI.

Students felt like their degrees were greater than them andthus felt motivated to enter and persist in engineering.

there are differences in the skills or attributes of innovativeness within thosesubgroups. These interviews will add to the weight of evidence that establishes the core set ofinnovative skills and help determine whether those skills vary in any significant way across thesubgroups or across engineering disciplines. We plan to create and validate a new instrument based on community-derived factors toassess the development of these factors within engineering students and practicing engineers. Itis our premise that there is no single “ideal” profile of innovativeness that leads to success.Instead, we expect to find diverse profiles (i.e., different combinations and degrees of the keyinnovativeness factors) that vary by individual, by context
