, meaning that it is sometimes true, and sometimes not true,depending on the applicable context. Thus, context is another important factor to consider whenevaluating students’ reflective learning performance or ability.In the present study, we assess the extent to which students use reflective judgment when writingabout their experiences in a semester long introductory design course. Based on our theoreticalmodels, we hypothesized that students whose reflections acknowledge the role of context inlearning will additionally show a higher intellectual level of thinking over the course of thesemester, as well as earn a higher grade on successive assignments. Therefore, we wanted todetermine whether students’ ability to reflect on their experiences in

This would require modifications to the modules’ structure, deliveryand assessment, which are beyond the scope of the current effort. For now, with the goal ofrapid development and implementation, the focus is on existing courses with traditionalundergraduates.Teams will continue development after the workshop, facilitated by the UW System learningmanagement system, Canvas. This would make the modules broadly accessible across the UWSystem and serve as a first step toward broader dissemination of IoT-related topics inengineering curriculum.It should be noted that the term “IoT” as used here refers to the broader

) strongly influenced by the solution manual, and an increased willingnessof students to submit (honest) work with an incorrect answer. Thus it seems that the newhomework policy is having an impact on the way in which students interact with solutionmanuals, guiding them towards more self-reliance as they attempt homework problems. In thiscontext, at least, the policy has been successful.Conclusions and recommendationsA new homework policy was developed in an attempt to shift students’ approach from a results-based mindset to a process-based mindset through the use of a metacognitive follow-up exerciseafter each homework set was returned to them. Although direct assessment of the impact of thischange on student learning outcomes was not possible

Some suggest that curriculum design decisions are often based on “opinions,intuitions, and personal preferences” 16,21 . This highlights the importance of “a fairly accuratepicture of the real curriculum” 20 , constructed through evidence-based practices 21 .Curriculum mapping is one of such practices that can be used as a process to discover “what isactually being taught, how long it is being taught, and the match between what is being taught and[what is being assessed]” 15 .

This is contrary to what studies on professional engineeringcourses have suggested in its role at improving engineering students’ perspectives of theimplicit and explicit requirements of their profession [32].
