Such pedagogy yields a number of gains for modern engineering education. Peerreview is an especially fruitful technique, whose instructional outcomes should: • Enhance students’ meta-cognitive abilities in a complex process by fostering, higher- order activities, such as those represented by the upper levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy [1] • Encourage students to move toward mature, professional behaviors, such as the progression outlined by the Perry Model [9].

Baylor’s School of Engineering and ComputerScience (ECS) is a small and young addition to Baylor’s undergraduate academic constellation. Formore than a decade a frequent complaint by Baylor ECS students has been that the Office of CareerServices and the Career Fairs had little to offer them. Major within this was the lack of companiesat career fairs specifically seeking ECS majors.

thesemeetings was invaluable as we transitioned to more integrated self-direct learning for studentsand faculty. Through this learning initiative, the faculty built the capacity to reflect and examineassumptions. We also believe that an important part of this experiment was the availability of thestudent community voice as feedback to the faculty.Students took between half and three-quarters of their course load with faculty who taught pre-existing general education courses. The difference for the students was that they took courseswith a cohort and that faculty attempted to integrate content across disciplines.
