We found that the learning frameworks of metacognition anddiscrepancy resolution combined to explain most student activity relative to our learningobjectives, and these frameworks suggest several points of improvement for the design andassessment of the simulation game.IntroductionResearch shows a disconnect between academia and industry in terms of engineering educationand practice (Johri & Olds, 2011).

Life-long learning is critical for the development of engineering graduates who will be ableto address the Engineering Grand Challenges [2] and other wicked problems of our ever-changing world. In parallel with this mission, universities also work to address student needsrelated to retention and inclusion. To add further complexity, engineering students now pursuean ever-widening range of career paths after completing their undergraduate degree. Onecommon thread across these competing demands are the needs for engineering education toholistically develop resilient individuals who can maintain motivation, invest significant effort intheir learning, and persist in

Educating students tothrive in their careers with the technological, societal, cultural and environmental complexitiesthey will face requires new approaches. Modern discussions in engineering education consideradding required time to graduation to add time into the packed curriculum to address theseissues. Extended time to graduation is fraught with problems in today’s reality of the high costof education and political pressures especially with state supported institutions. An alternative isto consider new pedagogical approaches that can add efficiencies into the curriculum wherestudents can learn and gain experiences that will carry them successfully

Students in S-L courses partner with community-based organizations as a way to learnthe course material with a fresher and more informed perspective while meeting and servingcommunity needs.

They showed that female FYE studentswho were placed on female-majority teams felt less threatened and more positively challengedwhen working in groups than ones placed on female-minority or sex-parity teams. Additionally,it was observed that the female students assigned to female-majority teams expressed higherconfidence and enthusiasm, and they verbally participated more during the group work. Suchfindings presage increased retention numbers and career aspiration in engineering for femalestudents.In general, there are four approaches that are commonly used by instructors to formulate groups:self-enroll, random assignment, instructor-selected, and computer-aided formation.

classroom. Finally the obvious outcome of international service learning is the students getinternational design experience. The projects make it very easy for students to expose themselvesto international design codes and standards rather than the national and local requirements. Theycan interact with more engineers around the globe, and perform engineering services whereneeded. They are also exposed to other cultures and understand the real world problems andconstraints. This opportunity easily enhances students’ personal skills, and improves their abilityand confidence in dealing with bigger problems, and therefore prepares them for theirengineering career [40].Another important benefit for students is that the international service learning

Also, after completing [the environmental engineering course plan] I realized that I got much more excited about the classes dealing with culture and the environment (i.e.: “people and the environment” and “global development”) and it made me wonder whether or not environmental studies would fit me better. Additionally, I am currently enrolled in the journalism school and I was hoping that if I were to transfer into the engineering school, I could keep journalism as a second major. However, after studying my four-year course plan, I realized it would be nearly impossible to do both and still graduate on time.
