the metacognitive skills development ofboth students and graduates of IRE. Our research has followed a two-pronged approach: (1)identifying and understanding the metacognitive skills students develop and use during theirpreparation as engineers in a PBL program, and (2) examining whether the preparation ofstudents in the PBL program (particularly in the area of metacognition) gives them a “leg up” intheir transition to the engineering workforce. At this point of our project, we have collected andanalyzed three data sources: interview data from IRE students that was collected at thebeginning and end of their program, think-aloud protocol data as students solved open-endedengineering problems that was collected from the same students and at the

This paper describes the implementation of thatintegrated theme within a civil and environmental engineering curriculum. The integratedapproach is referred to as a Nanotechnology LINK, which stands for Learning Integration ofNew Knowledge (Pierce and Berge 2014). The proposed benefits of this approach are that (1)student learning of nanotechnology concepts and course-specific core concepts are simultaneousand connected, such

The other three engineeringdisciplines within Tuskegee's College of Engineering, Architecture and Physical Sciences (i.e.,Aerospace, Electrical and Mechanical) all have a computer programming requirement similar tothat of the chemical engineering department. It would be infeasible for the chemical engineeringdepartment to unilaterally drop the computer science requirement. Therefore the review teamdecided not to recommend the switch to a mathematical toolkit approach. Such an approachremains an option, however, and the chemical engineering department will continue to reviewthe curriculum as
