paper, allow instructors to determine thestrengths and weaknesses in their courses as it pertains to students’ achievement of intendedcourse learning objectives.VII. LimitationsThere is always a concern that students’ self-assessments may be unreliable due to bias [28]. Inthis study, this was reflected by students overrating or underrating their proficiency levels ascompared to the GTA’s grade. The discrepancies were more pronounced during the first andsecond weeks of a new course unit. As the weeks advanced students’ ratings more closelymatched those of the GTA. Students’ learning from the feedback from past assignments may beresponsible for the reduction in the gap between students’ ratings and the GTA’s grading.The discrepancies between

. 2 In universities throughout the United States, student retention is a critical issue. The U.S.Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics (2017) recently reported that59% of first-time full-time students who began seeking a bachelor’s degree at a 4-year institutionin fall 2007 completed the degree at that institution by 2013. The academic library is equipped toplay a critical role in engaging students in the university systems, thus having the potential topositively affect student retention. However, current trends suggest undergraduate students areturning away from their academic libraries in favor of more attractive alternatives for theirinformation seeking (Colón-Aguirre & Fleming-May, 2012; Denison &

. Metacognition is a relatively new construct and thus has lowawareness among engineering and science faculty, whose graduate education included little or noeducational theory or training. Even if faculty members were made aware of the importance andvalue of metacognitive instruction, we argue that its adoption would remain low. Many well-known instructional approaches with overwhelming research supporting their effectiveness haveyet to be adopted in engineering and science teaching33, 34. The most frequently cited reasons fornon-adoption of these innovations include the displacement of course content, the fear of studentresistance, and the alteration of the instructor’s preferred pedagogy.33 It is clear thatoverwhelming evidence is insufficient to

This “engineering stress culture” ofengineering led to heightened rates of anxiety and depression among students, especially womenand students of color [39, p. 373], [40]. While the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated theseissues, it also provides an opportunity to address the issues surrounding engineering stressculture as we learn to live in a “new normal.” Helping students thrive in engineering by helpingthem navigate and manage constantly shifting internal and external factors is now moreimportant than ever [41].

This resulted in a savings of $1.4 billion during that period of time.Therefore, the USGBC recommended that the federal government continue its green buildingprojects and further promote the projects. In addition, New York, Maryland, and Oregon wererecognized as leaders in creating tax credits for green building projects. Santa Barbara,California and Scottsdale, Arizona were also recognized for offering expedited permit reviewsfor green building projects (USGBC, 2003).9The meeting also recognized issues surrounding the green building market that would hinder theefforts of increasing interest in green building.
