We then evaluated the quality of reflection paragraphs and looked into any relationshipswith course grades. We found a statistically significant correlation between this quality and finalcourse grades5. For the spring of 2013, we continued the promotion of metacognition in chemicalprocess control and safety, another undergraduate chemical engineering core course using amodified assignment. Students were given one technical problem and then assigned the followingfour activities each week: a) solve the problem, b) personalize the problem, c) integrate

To implement this in a laboratory environment, severaldecisions must be made.First, should the design be implemented using discrete 74x logic gates? While the simplicity isbeneficial, this approach has several drawbacks. First, the approach scales poorly when moving tolarger datapath designs. For example, the design shown in Figure 5 would require a prohibitive Page 26.1082.4number of devices and wiring. Second, it provides no

The setting in ProLab enabled thestudents to work effectively in groups and to present their work to their own group (smallscreens) and to the whole class (large screens). The physical design of ProLab enabled a highdegree of flexibility and allowed rapid transition between different activities.

The first problem-solving step is to identify a tolerance loop in an assembly.A table of values is constructed including the nominal dimension and tolerance for each part. Thetable also indicates whether each part has a positive or negative effect on the characteristicfeature, often a gap. In addition, all parts are identified as fixed or variable based on

psychological constructs in response to instructional interventions appear to be whollylacking.We thus sought to answer two questions: (a) similar to knowledge and comprehension, are grit,curiosity, creativity, and self-efficacy mutable by an active educational environment, and (b) doesa learning environment that incorporates academic advising offer additional benefit in bolsteringthese traits? So-called “intrusive advising” is believed to increase academic performance andpersistence in majors (reviewed in Banta et al. 2). We hypothesized that the effects of intrusiveadvising would reach beyond these usual academic indicators to influence the above-namedpsychological constructs as well.Two sections of an introductory engineering design course were
