nuggets of wisdom like, “Spec sheets always lie,” and “There is no suchthing as a problem, only challenges.”A well planned and executed student project should be finished, tested, and working at the end ofthe semester, by the expected date of completion. But, as any faculty member will tell you,things do not always go according to plan. The shortfalls are often attributed to unforeseencircumstances, personal failures, or simply running out of time.Risks and the management of risks are part of the capstone experience. But traditionalapproaches to risk management do not address the most common kind of risk found in studentcapstone projects, namely, risk to the schedule.In this paper, we propose an approach to schedule risk management, based on

This construct has theresearcher examine the curriculum itself by using network analysis to measure sequencing andinterconnectedness in a plan of study.

The findings suggest Team strategies require a high levelof student involvement and effort, while time strategies and resource management strategies areemployed to a lesser degree, on average. Small differences were seen between male and femalestudents in average strategy expression. Students may be benefitted by interventions designed toimprove self-regulation for specific team management strategies employed by engineeringstudents in relation to project management activities.

The lesson plan evolved over a period of 10 semesters. I document the process of thatevolution and discuss how students’ responses to activity prompts influenced that evolution.IntroductionWith few exceptions, ethics education within STEM disciplines has mostly remained separatefrom courses that provide instruction in what is perceived as technical knowledge (Leydens &Lucena, 2016).

Although reflection is essential for learning, there has tended to be limited systematicreflection and metacognitive instructional activity in engineering (Ambrose, 2013; Cunninghamet al., 2015; Marra et al., 2017).Our NSF-funded research aimed to address this gap. Our research was conducted in a flippedfluid mechanics classroom, in which step-by-step instruction in planning, monitoring, andevaluating (PME) of problem-solving was provided as part of in-class exercises (i.e., directinstruction “in context”) to support metacognitive skills development and problem-solving.Students also reflected weekly in writing about

Ensuring that the courses you take abroadwill be recognized by your home institution is crucial. This might require detailed planning anddiscussions with academic advisors” (OpenAI, 2024). In summary, both academic reports andbroader conversations suggest that curricular complexity can be a challenge for students studyingabroad in engineering.

This leads to the prioritization of the various analyses and designmodifications required for success. The Risk Mitigation phase leads the students intocritical problem solving. While they probably would have gotten there anyway, all toooften it would have been at the last minute and created ensuing panics. By using TRM,they are forced into problem solving mode earlier in the project, thus avoiding the panicmode.
