framework for such reflection is the threequestions of what went right, what went wrong, and what might be done differently. Most of thelessons learned again focused on the need for care, attention to detail and the challenges oftroubleshooting a project. The question of troubleshooting a project is an interesting one thatdoes not seem to be much researched in educational literature. The logical chain of deductionabout where to look for problems, what to check first, is often a matter of implicit understandingand heuristic rules developed through experience. It would be useful to have an explicit set ofrules and experiences to pass on to students. For example, it was at first a humorous comment totry turning the computer off and on again, but one

Student perception was compared between the courses with team-based model projects andindividual-based physical-model projects. Here, Likert-scale anonymous course evaluations (1-strongly disagree, 2 - disagree, 3 - neutral, 4 - agree, and 5 - strongly agree) were compared forinstructor-taught courses with team projects (Fall 2018 and Fall 2019 semester) and

Svinicki [13] talked about how students' goal orientation andmotivation influence their learning, either positive or negative.

Project managers noted the importance of communication, organization, timemanagement, and the ability to relate to team members. Most project managers struggled withthe balance of being a friend versus a Project Manager. Some project managers felt they instilledthe wrong dynamic by being too friendly.

team of researchers at a Southwest Hispanic-Serving Land-GrantUniversity embarked on an National Science Foundation-funded study to provide workshops forfirst year engineering students to introduce them to metacognitive awareness learning strategiesthat have the potential to help their study skills, and in turn, their academic performance. Toassess if these strategies were utilized and if they were helpful for students, we collected pre- andpost-intervention surveys and reflective writing journals. The survey items came from themetacognitive awareness inventory (MAI) [1] to measure pre- and post-knowledge andregulation of cognition. These surveys were administered to the introductory level engineeringclasses at the beginning and end of their
