engineering students be taught in their college programs? This is aquestion raised by many, and which can lead to spirited debates. To provide some guidance,ABET provides some general guidance from professional engineering societies through theirrequired “Student Outcomes” [1]. To be educated to be a practicing engineer, students mustlearn the technical details of subjects important in their discipline. But ABET also recognizesthe need for students to learn non-technical subjects, as graduates should be able to so suchthings as include non-technical components such as cultural factors in their designs, and makeengineering judgements based on societal contexts. Various authors have also discussed theimportance of bringing more non-technical subjects

The guiding framework for the research component of thisproject is the cognitive apprenticeship model (CAM), which consists of strategies used to trainnovices to develop expertise in their thinking. Unlike typical apprenticeship models, which maydescribe the relationship between mentors and mentees, or which may describe mentorship formore mechanical skills, CAM theorizes the ways in which novices come to think about a subjectwith expertise. This process is characterized by situated learning and social support provided byan expert and its processes are metacognitive [5]. While cognitive apprenticeship models arecurrently

This, however, can be a challenging taskfor an instructor as students in the classroom may learn at different rates and require differentneeds at different times. In addition, instructor expertise may interfere with their ability to predictstudent performance [23].
