These sessionswere not comprehensive reviews, but mainly discussed test logistics, and went over a fewexample problems in each major category.With students continuously taking the test from January through May with no test dates in March2016, we hedged our bets that the students would be able to review as needed and approachfaculty as needed about the exam.However, through discussions with graduating seniors, who had completed the exam, it becameobvious to us that some students had issues with logistics while taking the computer-based exam.First, some did not understand the exam timing, and spent

minuteslong. After learning about design processes of engineers with various levels of expertise andresponding to questions about what they found to be important information, students were asked‘Will Information from this exercise affect how you will do design in the future? How?’ Throughcoding students’ responses, we discovered that students are thinking metacognitively aboutdesign through articulating plans, efficient use of time, monitoring their steps, and evaluatingtheir design processes. While all students can articulate their design intentions, some studentsexplore a nuanced understanding of their design intentions and subsequent actionable strategiesthat could impact how they design in the future. This practical classroom activity can be used

Each of the scalesaccounts for 68%, 63% and 51% of the variance, respectively. We present evidence of validityfor the three scales. Construct validity is illustrated through predictable performance on thescales by contrasting groups of students, consistency in the internal structure through factoranalysis and expected correlations across scales.

Each students’ lab score was multiplied by thepercentage of points received on this evaluation. Though a majority of students received a 100%on their peer evaluation, low peer evaluation scores sent a strong signal to those who were notputting forth the necessary effort. Differences in ability and desire to contribute were alsoequalized by changing partners three times during the semester. Students were randomly assignedpartners through a web-based program who they then worked with for two to three weeks.

Through a series ofchallenging exercises (six in total), they are introduced to concurrent programming (POSIXthreads for Linux) that must be mapped to specific cores (e.g., with CPU core thread affinity) forAMP. Through work on these exercises, RMA is reinforced and emphasized with more and morechallenging requirements and constraints. The exercises include simple problems at first, withthe use of

Kilgore et al.[12] refer to the consideration of global and societal implications ofengineering design as “breadth of problem-scoping,” and the “context” of engineering (p. 321).Their conceptualization of contextual competence focuses on broad thinking and problem-scoping activity, a critical part of the design process, in a specific engineering design task.While working through design tasks is one avenue to enhancing one’s contextual competence,research suggests that other activities also influence the development of student’s contextualcompetence.

disciplines and in various contexts.In terms of student learning and attitudes, we agreed that many bright students tend to “turn theirbrains off” when in the laboratory. Some students expect to be told (either through a protocol,teaching assistant or instructor) what each step should be rather than to solve problems forthemselves. Because of compartmentalization, students often make the same mistake repeatedly.We surmised that a reason for such an approach to laboratory coursework is the attitude that thepurpose of education is certification (grades, diploma) rather than acquisition of knowledge andskills. Without the ability to generalize, students see the required assignments of a course ashaving no meaning or relevance beyond those particular

Prior to World War 1, there was little to none in theprovision for veterans’ participation in higher education. It seems the only compensation was inthe form of pensions for some disabled veterans following the Revolutionary War. Thiscompensation continued into the next century through the Civil War [2]. However
