The module was incorporated in an engineering problemsolving course and was designed to include reading material, practice problems, hands-onactivities, and a project. This paper describes the content of the module, how the module wasimplemented, and its impact in students’ perception of engineering.Methodology:Sample Size: 42 students enrolled in an engineering problem solving course participated in thisstudy.

Researchers in these fields increasingly recognize that, inorder for students to become full members of a 'community of practice,' it is essential that theyhave opportunities for 'legitimate participation' 4 in the practices of that community. WPI’sGlobal Perspective Program has exploited the converging interests of the federal government,cognitive science, and engineering education.However, as WPI students increasingly take advantage of the opportunities that WPI offers tocomplete academic work off campus, the likelihood of a serious incident occurring off campusincreases as well.

This report addressed a need for engineering education to bettersupport non-technical outcomes for students (Sarin, 2000) such as increasing effective communication,providing a broader understanding of the global and societal impacts of engineering solutions, andreenforcing how to use engineering tools and skills in practice (Lattuca, Terenzini, & Volkwein, 2006).Programming and Models of Mentoring and

To maximize the impact of feedback, the provider should take into account the diversity of the audience by giving multiple, possibly redundant, views of the same piece of feedback. This ensures that there is no “single point of failure”, i.e., no reliance on a single method for transmitting the information.• Easy to assess. For feedback to be effective, assessing its relevance and quality should be easy (i.e., be low-cost) for the recipient. Ideally, credible examples (e.g., from the available literature) should

However, less encouraging, students confessed to preparing less for groupquizzes, knowing others in their groups would provide what they lacked.

A number of studiessupport the idea that modified slide design, well-developed handouts to accompany slides,and increased student note-taking can enhance student performance. For example, Alley et al.[2,3] studied how slide design impacts student performance.
