The activities were active-learning based and designed to have studentswork in teams and to move around the classroom instead of remaining in a traditional seatedlecture. Outcomes of the activities were focused on creative problem solving skills and criticalthinking skills. Many of the activities were from traditional entrepreneurship and team-buildingfocuses and have been adapted to have an engineering focus. As follows each activity is brieflydescribed with anticipated outcomes.Puzzle-QuiltThis is an active exercise which involves multiple rooms and team

literature is the work of Frenkle-Brunswik [6], [7] thatdiscusses intolerance of ambiguity. Understanding how a person reacts to an ambiguous situationcan be helpful when assessing personality [7]. Frenkle-Brunswik [7] demonstrated that childrenwho are more rigid in their responses to ambiguous stimuli tend to have a more ethnocentricpersonality and demonstrate authoritarian characteristics. They also tend to reject the unusual,need order, and lack the understanding of how good and bad can exist in one person. In the earlyliterature, the term ambiguity became synonymous with the terms authoritarian and prejudice [8].The psychology of reading is another area of research that that operationalizes ambiguity [9] -[11].

is much easier toimplement, manage and assess programs at the collegiate level. Several research studies however havealso suggested that the best predictor of academic success at the college level is the rigor of academicinstruction at the K-12 level [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Unfortunately, under-represented minorities in STEM,particularly those from low income households, are more likely to be in programs with insufficientacademic rigor [2, 5, 6, 7].Universities and colleges, partially in response to these studies, have also introduced programs at the pre-college level, designed to enhance STEM success among under-represented minorities and low incomestudents.

To accomplish this, we are working through a three-phase project inwhich we pilot a metacognitive intervention in one context, translate the intervention to a newcontext, and share the intervention and provide training on how to use it. This paper reports onthe outcomes from Phase 1, which is focused on the development and pilot implementation of ametacognitive intervention for a sophomore engineering course at a small undergraduate-focusedengineering school and assessing student’s metacognitive development.

difficult obstacles.A standard 100-point grading system for a class is a natural fit for XP. It is relatively easy totake the normal grade distribution for a class and multiply every assessment by a factor and thenhave the students earn XP instead of getting a percentage. For instance, we used a factor of 200to make the maximum score in the class to be 200,000 XP. A typical test was worth 15,000-20,000 XP, or around 10% of the overall grade which is close to what it was without using XP.While this change may seem trivial and simply obfuscates a student’s grade, the difference is inthe student mentality toward XP and how XP is presented by the instructor. For example, atypical student might view a test as starting with a grade of 100 and then

In addition, ground stations which are crucial to the relaying of satellite signals to theirproper destinations are also connected to the internet. This integration of technologies is drivingsatellite networks into the broader global network of systems which puts them at risk of attackfrom external entities.

In fall 2014, we decided to modify the course andcreated two projects to improve student skills in running FEA simulations on projects.

ethics classes are often avoided by engineering students due to lackof perceived importance2. There remains a critical need for an efficient, systematic means forintegrating substantial training in ethical decision making within engineering curricula. The goal of this work was to develop tools for engineering professors to efficiently andeffectively integrate ethics modules into their engineering courses. These tools are designed to betailored for an across-the curriculum model, in which multiple engineering courses incorporateethics modules as part of the assessed subject matter. A two-year study was conducted atWorcester Polytechnic Institute with two distinct phases conducted by different undergraduatestudent teams which developed
