evidence related to the knowledge gains associated with reflection activities in engineeringeducation, and it would be powerful to see the information about knowledge gains embedded inmore comprehensive research designs that connect the knowledge gains students report, thereactions they have to reflection activities, and more distal performance-based indicators oflearning (e.g., exam performance, design project success, job acquisition, employer satisfaction).We see the work reported here as helping the engineering education community build thecapacity to ask such questions.ContributionsThis work contributes to the conversation about the role and value of reflection in engineeringeducation.

coursesubject. Using the course LMS to reinforce this education with items to read, tasks to complete,and a means of electronically collecting signed pledges of academic honesty is also a goodpractice across academia. However, some tools discussed here may not apply in all courses. Forexample, the randomized algorithmic questions work best with "bite-size" quantitative problemsrather than long multi-stage problems or more qualitative questions. Products such as Turnitin orSafeAssign can be helpful for evaluating students' writing assignments, but they won't help withan assignment to write code for a computer program to run. Some schools have developedmechanisms to evaluate coding projects for impermissible similarity, but that may not be capableof

Moreover, mobile commercepenetration is helping to spur mobile payment adoption [15].The concept of mobile payments was first developed by Coca-Cola in 1997, using a RadioFrequency-Identification (RFID) terminal. This spurred innovation of several other methods ofmobile payment over the years, such as PayPal which was founded by eBay in 1998, to replacethe existing payment methods [4]. However, end user acceptance of mobile payments has fallenshort of projections. Although some regions of the world have found more success in mobilepayments adoption than for example Japan, China, and Turkey, Asia Pacific in particular leadsthe mobile payment adoption charts, with the highest level of confidence in these transactions at65%, and in 2016 China

the KS2 survey may bedue to the timing closely coinciding with a project deadline. There may also have been somesurvey fatigue associated with the third administration of the survey. These two factors mightalso have negatively affected the time and effort invested by those students who did respond.Two additional observations are that there is a visibly stronger correlation for the highest-performing students and that the normalized survey score generally under-predicts the examresult for the lowest-performing students. Bell (2005) observed that higher-performing studentsappeared to be better at estimating their knowledge than lower-performing students and attributetwo explaining factors.1.

In the course of the beta focus group and upon reflection, we decided to make thefollowing changes to our procedure for the official focus group: 1. Because the experts often ranked questions as being between two levels of difficulty, e.g. between a “2” and a “3,” we determined that a scale of 1 - 10 would be more useful for

The bi-weeklylabs require students to produce a 3D CAD model of a part or assembly based on an engineeringdrawing. Labs generally take students less than 30 minutes to complete. The weekly homeworkassignments require the completion of tutorials and/or modeling parts or assemblies from thetextbook [2]. Weekly homework assignments consistent of 3-5 parts or assemblies that thestudent must create in the CAD software.Although assigning extensive opportunities to model helps with mastering 3D CAD software,efficiently grading the work is challenging.

. Framing is the set ofexpectations one has about a situation [21, 22]. In our study, some students framed their solutionas meeting the expectations of the instructor, while in other instances students discussed theirsolution as if they were analyzing a bridge that would be built in the real world. Similarly,Koretsky and Nolen found students discussing their projects either in the “school world” or the“engineering world” when examining chemical engineering middle year studio and senior designteams [23, 24], and McNeill et al. found similar results where students distinguished between“classroom problems” and workplace problems” [25].

projected average salary to be statistically different betweenthose who were formerly postdocs and those who did not obtain postdocs. The opportunity costof postdoc training in terms of salary also appears to vary across employment sectors, with thestakes particularly high for those eventually employed in industry. For PhDs who remain inacademia, time as a postdoc may improve early career earnings. Therefore, from the perspectiveof financial returns to doctoral training, it is important for engineering PhDs to consider the long-term career prospects in different sectors. For engineering PhDs with career interests in non-academic employer sectors, awareness of the potential delay in salary growth associated with thelow payment during postdoc

computational engineering courses, such as thetraditional lecture and the flipped classroom, and have aspects of a hybrid approach of these twotechniques.In a traditional engineering lecture, the instructor typically transfers written notes to a physicalsurface (whiteboard), or projects them on a screen using physical transparencies or a tabletcomputer. This method of content delivery is generally characterized by limited interactionbetween the lecturer and the students; the content tends to be presented in a linear andchronological manner. Students typically do not practice the art of note-taking, as they would fora history or literature course, which requires active listening and the ability to synthesizeinformation and identify major topics and

As a result, a strong emphasis wasplaced on students’ personal learning paths and on building meaningful insights through theexercises and projects rather than accumulating “right or wrong” answers. A task list wasdefined for those students interested in earning a course Statement of Accomplishment thatincluded the completion of 5 of the 6 weekly assignments. To complete a Statement ofAccomplishment with Distinction, students had to fulfill all these requirements and alsocomplete at least 2 peer reviews of other students’ work for each submitted assignment.2.6 Weekly AssignmentsThe six creative
