We attempted to design a remedialassignment that scaffolds students through the process of identifying technical strengths to buildon and breaking weaknesses into manageable chunks. Briefly, students create a glossary of termsand concepts from the class and rank them by their level of understanding. Importantly, theassignment also includes reflections on emotions, barriers, and support networks. The reflectiveknowledge inventory was developed over several years in post-pandemic sophomore throughsenior-level engineering classes. Results were

It has been recognized as one of the major drivers for economiccompetitiveness in a globalised world, which has been demonstrating how education isplaying an increasingly important role.

school and they are uncertain of how to approach something like a calculus or chemistrytextbook. As the majority of our students are intending to major in engineering (or anotherSTEM field), technical reading is a necessary skill, as evidenced by ABET General Criterion 3(i), which calls for programs to develop in students “a recognition of the need for, and an abilityto engage in life-long learning” (ABET 2016).Much of the existing literature on student reading abilities in mathematics is a direct result of thework of Dr. Mary D. Shepherd. Shepherd has published extensively on reading skills and therole of reading in college algebra and calculus classes.

Many IT programs do not havesufficient space and computational resources to dedicate laboratory rooms to individual topics,much less to dedicate computers to individual students within those labs.These concerns are universal among educators, and have been addressed with varying degrees ofsuccess through various means. Some institutions or programs have required students to ineffect, provide their own development systems in the form of a laptop computer. As stated byCampbell1, “Budget conscious universities are realizing that requiring students to purchaselaptops can reduce the need for expensive multimedia classrooms.” The pervasiveness of thispractice can be found quickly by means of an internet search engine.

The teams enjoyed theactive learning challenge problems and directed class discussion. My role evolved from alecturer to the role of facilitator and mentor.
