Engineering Education, 2023 Putting Individual Learning Responsibility Back into the Team Experience – An Application of the Design ExperienceIntroductionFor years engineering programs have focused on the importance of students participating in teamexperiences within subject and capstone classes. This team experience need was emphasized byABET in its Criteria 3 – Student Outcomes, specifically outcome d (for years 2000 to 2019) andoutcome 5 (for years 2019 to present) and emphatically adopted by most engineering programs[1] [2].The need for teamwork is also emphasized by industry. Industry, especially those associated withthe development of new or improved products, benefit from interdisciplinary teams which canrepresent various

choose therating that they did on this question, two distinct responses emerged. Approximately a third ofthe participants ranked this as a four, as they interpreted this question as if their personalknowledge or “ability was under scrutiny” and therefore would rise to the challenge and not backdown until they achieved their goal. The remainder ranked this question as a three and wouldback down periodically because they were concerned with being “identified as difficult or bossy”at work. It is not surprising that the seven highest ranked items are fundamental skills critical tobe successful in engineering: trying hard enough, confidence in unexpected events,resourcefulness in handling unforeseen situations, ability to solve problems, utilizing

Like, maybe surface level but I could still, you know, I could,I had the skill set to do the quick learning” (9952). One participant identified the metacognitiveawareness that enables such skills: “A lot of it to me is about, it's like both, okay, the ability towork or study long hours, and then the ability to sort of figure out how to work smarter at thesame time” (9941). Another expressed how their lifelong learning ability enabled them to buildexpertise in new areas and capitalize on that knowledge: “If you're passionate about something,like, let's say take commodity trading, if you carve out a niche, you

classroom is not new; and in many ways it is reminiscent of theoriginal “Thayer Method” at the United States Military Academy. Named after Colonel SylvanusThayer, the father of the Military Academy, the Thayer Method required students to prepare forclass and then to recite topics to their instructors who would evaluate student performance everyday. Students were grouped by ability in order to provide “each student a task of studyproportional to his capacity.” [2] This method, however, left little time for in-class instructionand placed the onus for learning predominantly on the student. [Figure 1] In the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering (C&ME) at the United StatesMilitary Academy, the Thayer Method was modified over time to

system.However, how do we best support all students entering their university classes at the same timewhen some students have a lot of engineering and STEM preparation while others have little tono exposure to STEM? As K-12 students begin to get more and more STEM education at anearlier age, there invariably will be more variability in student preparation once they reach theirundergraduate classes. In recent years, one way to address this variability issue has been the useof honors and high-achieving student programs across the United States and globally, with thenumber of higher education institutions offering honors programs continuing to increase [7]. Yethonors programs and their impact remain understudied in the literature [7].One of the biggest

I think my team experiences in Course C were a lot better than previous teamexperiences, because it seemed like we were all just friends. I like talking to people so the feelingof becoming friends with your team for some reason means a lot to me. And we didn’t reallyhave any team issues at all.

Consequently, Likert-scale statementswere reworded with modified phrasing to reflect new indicator definitions. As a further attemptto address the need for the scale to be distributed more towards the strongly disagree end, oneitem for each indicator had conditional phrasing removed. A review of the FPMID, and consultation with one of the FPMID authors (K.A.Renninger, personal communication, August 5th, 2014), suggested that two additional indicatorsbe included in the FIDES survey to more accurately measure interest based on the FPMIDtheory.

would use negligible amounts of computing time. However, larger problems (due to a realistic application, or for anti-gaming purposes, see next section) requiring dynamic generation to produce can take a significant fraction of a second to create on-the-fly. An example of this would be a problem generating a sophisticated animation to help present an explanation of a new application area. While a half second of computer time is no issue for autograding a class of 30 students, when operating at scale it can lead to server saturation and unacceptable response times. One can avoid problem generation bottlenecks by looking for alternatives that require less computation, or by precomputing hundreds or
