- Germany (Green Organizations: Global Responsibility for Environmental andEconomic Necessity) is a study-abroad course offered at Indiana University-Purdue UniversityIndianapolis. The course focused on sustainable practices in business and industry and involvedclassroom work and industry site visits prior to travelling to Germany for the 10-day study-abroad component. Upon return to the U.S., several students in the course participated in aservice-learning project that focused on recycling, an aspect of sustainable practice. The study-abroad component provided the exposure to sustainability and fostered interpersonalrelationships between the students, which contributed to the successful completion of theservice-learning project.

,particularly when unraveling ill-structured problems such as engineering design. The major aimof this five-year research project is to study the self-regulated learning (SRL) activities of collegeseniors engaged in a capstone engineering design project. This project is grounded in Butler andCartier’s SRL model, which describes the interplay between affect, motivation, cognition, andmetacognition within academic engineering design activities. Dym & Little’s design processmodel was also used as sensitizing theoretical framework. Specific objectives of the researchactivities in this project are to (1) Build research protocols and tools for studying student self-regulation; (2) Describe the self-regulation strategies in which students engage

they could alter or adapt workshops in order to best serve this patron group [11]. Inorder to attract students to services, a recent trend in library outreach is gamification [12].Turning orientation or information literacy sessions into games not only entices students toparticipate, but also encourages them to “interact with information for problem solving anddiscovery-based learning when using the library to conduct research for class” [13]. Gamification and project-based learning are very common approaches to education inengineering. Since the engineering discipline is primarily an applied science, experiments andcompetitions challenge students to apply concepts learned in the classroom. Project-basedlearning develops valuable
