populations.As the institution being studied, the junior-level MSE lab courses have robust computational modelingand simulation curricular content. Our findings therefore suggest a strong positive impact that frequentuse of simulation tools in MSE courses can have on students’ attitudes toward these tools in the contextof engineering work. However, because we did not directly measure students’ actual competency, butonly their self-efficacy, it is not clear whether their lack of confidence with these tools accurately reflectsa low level of proficiency or whether it reflects a greater level of appreciation of the complexity of thesetools, which novices would not appreciate. It would be valuable for a future study to examine therelationship between actual

complete a design project. Buildingon our previously reported work, this paper investigates students’ reported ability and self-efficacy as it relates to a design framework and mindset in a restructured materials designcapstone course. In AY 2022-23, a two-semester capstone sequence was piloted to improve thestudents’ design experience via a fundamental restructuring of the course elements, replacing thetraditional, one-semester course. In AY 2023-24, the two-semester sequence was formalized inthe course catalog with over 50 students taking the two-course sequence.In this restructuring, two frameworks were integrated in the course content: Human-CenteredDesign (HCD) framework, a method to formalize the design process in discrete stages, and

The activity was designed tosupplement instructor provided lab report guidelines and rubrics with an active learning exerciseto enhance student’s self-efficacy around report writing and foster self-regulated learning.Self-regulated learning, or the ability a student has to control their own learning environment, isinfluenced by cognition, metacognition, and motivation [4]. While it takes decades to developthe skills of self-regulated learning, instructors can provide students with the tools needed toprogress from fully dependent to more autonomous

For anonline class, it is up to the student to participate in class and interact with the course.Student engagement can be enhanced by improved instructional techniques. Methods ofteaching can be broken down into four categories; instructor centered, interactive,individualized, and experiential [4]. Instructor centered learning primarily involves one-waycommunication from the instructor to the students. Questions from instructor to the whole classis also a form of an instructor centered strategy; this method primarily facilitates passive learningfor the student which
