issuccessful”“Have heard industry asking for graduates to have these competencies”Each of the departments (this term will be used to include programs and schools) in the COE, aswell as the COE itself, have Industry Advisory Committees (IACs) that advise the departmentson what they are looking for from the students and provide advice on what they think should bepart of the curriculum. One of their major complaints has been the lack of interpersonalskills.Employers are concerned with the students’ inability to think critically, solve problems,effectively negotiate, and take initiative [38]. They further agree this presents a problem in tryingto develop a global workforce [39] with a competitive edge.Some students and faculty agree that many of the

Lysozyme, a protein present in eggwhite and in secretions such as saliva and tears, serves as an antibacterial agent by interactingwith the sugars in the bacterial wall.[25] In the new module, the isolation of the protein is used tointroduce the topics of biotechnology and its applications to drug formulations. From an educational perspective, the general idea of this module is to introduce importantconcepts of biotechnology and complex fluids

Initial results suggesta continued benefit of the inclusion of the designette approach to capstone design courses, withvarying results from the depth of design process coverage.1. IntroductionThe use of the capstone design experience is common in Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) accredited engineering programs [1]. While there are several modelsfor the capstone experience, each tailored to the institutional and program goals of a specificprogram, most are project-based and introduce, or reinforce the engineering design process

In 2014, heat transfer was taught in a traditional classroom setting to establish a control for thenew instructional framework.

The debate regarding which measures provide the best information about how wellpeople can self-direct their learning [13, 14] is understandable considering the complexities ofthe metacognition construct (i.e., consisting of declarative and procedural components) as well asa valid concern about whether the measures actually portray the psychological processesinvolved.Off-line measures of metacognition include interviews or questionnaires. On-line measures, onthe other hand, are obtained primarily through real-time think-aloud protocols or accuracyratings. A think-aloud protocol involves a person verbalizing while solving a problem.
