data. One important use of this data can be to form part of a feedback loopfocused on learning-outcomes assessment and improvement of teaching, courses, andcurriculum. This use of self-assessment data can be used to demonstrate program evaluation,advising, and monitoring of students (ABET 2000 Criterion 1).Another interesting issue regarding self-assessment of knowledge is related to professionalpractice. Practicing engineers often have to make judgements regarding their knowledge orability to perform various engineering tasks. These judgements have importance in both legaland ethical issues during professional practice. Thus, there is value in teaching engineeringstudents about their ability to correctly self-judge knowledge. By regularly

, organization andcontent, references, experiments and projects related to the design, preparation, characterization,and analysis of drug delivery systems.This course is one of the very few course offerings in drug delivery for Chemical Engineeringundergraduate students. Examination of course offerings through Department websites revealsthat drug delivery is one topic often incorporated into Chemical or Biomedical Engineeringcourses in biotechnology or biomaterials. Several departments of pharmaceutical sciences offerspecialized courses in drug delivery, but these courses would not address the engineering aspectsof drug delivery systems. One other undergraduate chemical engineering course in drug deliverywas found at Johns Hopkins University. This

A key feature is the extent towhich the core design courses are coupled to the core engineering-science courses to enhancelearning. Open-ended projects together with experiments in the design courses are chosen toprovide context for and reinforce the engineering science taught concurrently. The Design Spinealso provides the vehicle to develop key competencies in problem solving, effectivecommunication, project management, ethics, economics of engineering, teaming and industrialecology in an evolutionary manner throughout the sequence.

Participants generally entered the program thinking of themselves as scientistsbut described their experiences as helping them see themselves as a part of the community ofscience and more clarity regarding what scientists do. They described being engaged in realrobotics research with the possibility of contributing to the field as facilitative of that growth.Specific Recommendations from Participants. Participant recommendations focused on a) morehands-on mentoring, especially related to avoiding “imposter syndrome”, developing leadershipskills in teams, and career/graduate school choices, b) creating opportunities to engage with morepeople beyond those directly connected to the REU, perhaps through guest speakers orconnecting to an engineering

and reviews and concluded that learning styles did not have significant effects on thelearning process. However, almost all of the experiments used to refute the claim that learning stylesimprove the learning process were not related to engineering education. Based on experience teach-ing engineering courses at different levels of the curriculum and the work done by Koh and Chua(2012), Felder (2020), and many others, it is believed that leveraging learning styles in the learningprocess could be very beneficial in engineering education. Many definitions of leaning styles areavailable in the literature; however, the most appropriate one is found in (Dunn & Dunn, 1992, 1993;Dunn et al., 1994) where a learning style is defined as the way in
