In general, most ofthese students knew how to apply fundamental principles, had a better ability to identify anddefine problems, and knew how to evaluate alternative solutions. In upper level courses, thesestudents gave the best presentations and wrote the better reports and were able to use computersand other modern technology for setting, solving, and presenting problems. Assessment resultsindicated that retention rates among the students who participated in the program were higherthan in the traditional group. Also, it is noteworthy to point out that most of these students hadenhanced social skills as compared to when they first

Despitethe importance of metacognition, much of the research has occurred in controlled researchsettings such that much less is known about how to help students develop metacognitive skills inclassroom settings. Further, there are significant bodies of research on the role of metacognitionin writing and solving math problems, but little work has been done on the role of metacognitionwithin engineering disciplines. As part of a larger project to generate transferable tools that canbe used to teach and evaluate undergraduate engineering students’ metacognitive skills, we aredeveloping

Dr. Villiers stresses the practical applications from real-world examples, and when applicable, provides hands-on applications and field trips that thestudents can easily appreciate.

One MEstudent, in discussing how to attract more talented women into engineering, presents other skillswomen can bring to the profession: What engineering is really, is the ability to innovate.

Nearly all researchers of engineering education in these spaces aretrained in traditional engineering research methods rather than in EER methods [5-6]. Borrego [5]states that EER is fundamentally different from engineering research because it necessitatesadditional considerations of transferability, theoretical frameworks, measurement, and researchapproaches, all of which can involve a high degree of subjectivity and require more justificationof research decisions.

In this way, the students learn the fundamental concepts of ratio and proportion, and also see its applications in meaningful activities.
