K-WIDE educational objectives are listed in Table1 and are mapped to the relevant roles. Some of the objectives map only to roles related to theentrepreneurial mindset or engineering design. For example, progress in reflection and the growthmindset are typically associated with the entrepreneurial mindset. Many of the objectives, however,map to roles related to both the entrepreneurial mindset and engineering design.In this remainder of this section, we give short descriptions of how particular objectives capturethis synthesis by considering the objectives from multiple perspectives.

Specifically, the study examines “What are students' perceptions of the roleof self-regulated learning and project management skills in the context of their researchproject?”Methods: The study was conducted in a senior-level undergraduate course offered at a large mid-western university. The course focused on project management, research skills, and mentorshipin the context of a research project.

To make the problem worse, studentsdon’t even realize that anything might be wrong with their approach, so even after a poorperformance in midterm examinations, they may relentlessly redouble their previous efforts, onlyto find in the final examination that more of the same strategy does not help.Metacognition, “the process of reflecting on and directing one’s own thinking” [2] can helpstudents become self - directed learners, where students must learn to assess the demands of thetask, evaluate their own knowledge and skills, plan their approach, monitor their progress, andadjust

The senior capstone report oftenplays an instrumental role in this development, since it comprises both the final assessment ofstudent communication performance and also students’ most significant opportunity for activelearning of in-discipline communication skills. Peer review has been proposed as an ideal meansto provide students with much-needed feedback toward this communication learning. Peerreview also has the potential to increase students’ interpersonal communication skills andmetacognition, provided that the review activity is structured to encourage constructivecontributions and reflection[1].

Theinstructor observed striking improvements in overall student engagement, mastery of techniques,preparedness, and confidence in lab performance. These observations are supported by studentfeedback in written reflections, informal communication, and end-of-course student surveys.Briefly, the course learning objectives include: 1) Demonstrate ability to work safely with animal cells and mastery of aseptic technique 2) Perform laboratory techniques essential for establishing and maintaining cell lines

We describe the course, which used human-centered designprojects as a mechanism to partner with community organizations. Based on a thematic analysisof three reflective essays (n = 105) for each student (n = 35), we found four distinct patternsrelated to identity development in relation to community engagement. We

Students receive feedback in so many forms including peer feedback, instructorfeedback and external feedback from employers or other industries. For this feedback to bevaluable, students need to appreciate it, act on it, and consider it as part of the learning process.The literature shows that there is a discrepancy between instructors’ objectives for feedback andstudents’ perception of the effectiveness of feedback to improve learning. Mostly, students tendto focus on grades rather than reflect on the feedback and take actions to improve their learning.Even when instructors give detailed personalized comments
