Question 3: Do students whose reflections on doing are assessed to be more insightful focus on different “doings” than their peers? What can we infer by text mining the data about the ways that ‘insightful’ students write their LS? We anticipate certain patterns to emerge, given our intentional effort to tie eachassignment to successive POED over the course of the design process; see Figure 1.

traditionalhomework in engineering education occurred [1-4], but the overwhelming majority ofengineering faculty members believe that homework is an indispensable component in thecourses they teach. As an analogy, students majoring in English need to write many essays forpractice, and they cannot master the skill of writing just by learning various writing skills andreading novels. In the same way, engineering students cannot grasp the necessary knowledge andskills without the struggling process in solving homework problems [5].Almost all the publishers of the textbooks provide the solution manuals to the instructors, andunfortunately, these materials are leaked to students through the internet.
