The seeds of effective LLL must be sown at the beginning of the program if thecollege experience is going to support this type of development in engineering students. Thispaper describes activities being introduced in the DTeC course at Binghamton University (BU)and the engineering science program at Broome Community College (BCC) to start students onthe path toward becoming self-directed learners (SDL), the key to LLL.A successful program for teaching SDL must have two components.
