,improve their form, and build physical strength by pushing themselves to their limits, and a key part oftraining occurs as athletes monitor their progress and examine their form compared against some ideal.These concepts are no less important in the training of the mind, and the idea of metacognition (criticallyexamining one’s own thought process) is a key part of effective learning[8]. Therefore, if we seek toincentivize good student practices when working on homework, incorporating metacognitive elements isa good place to start.A number of homework policies exist which incorporate metacognition in some form[9]–[12]. One suchapproach was developed in recent years in engineering courses at Saint Vincent College (SVC), a smallliberal arts college

Not surprising, students’ motivation increasesin these settings and their confidence in problem definition, option development andsolution grows. As with active learning approaches, the instructor role changes in clinicand project courses from one of talking head to facilitator, guide and resource [2,6]. Thestructure of an engineering clinic based ECE program is one that requires students tooperate at higher orders of abstraction earlier in their education while still requiring aconcrete “hands-on, minds-on” engineering solution to the real world problem at hand.These transformative changes are discussed as desirable in most of
