and educators are often concerned with performance skills (i.e.,interpersonal, communication, and teaming). Lewis et al. [14] correctly observed that ifstudents are to develop effective teaming skills, then teaming must be an explicit focus ofthe project. A metacognitive approach would encourage students to become conscious oftheir team skills. Thus, metacognition may be valuable for improving an individual’srelationship not only to their own learning processes, but also to the learning processes ofothers and to the collaborative learning process in general. At the 2003 ASEE Conference, we presented a plan [15] intended to promotemetacognition in teams working on engineering clinic projects. This paper presentsresults from the Fall 2003

The screening process consisted ofthree phases: initial review, admissions file review, and interview. The initial review began withthe program directors reviewing the pool of admitted students who were US citizens, met theminimum financial need based on their FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)application, and were planning to enroll in the Lyle School of Engineering. The programdirectors also reviewed the academic potential of the candidates. The academic potential of acandidate was determined by their

In this process, students seek solutionsto open problems by formulating research questions, plan design, collection, analysis andintegration of information, explanations and building models, and creating artifacts or productsof their understanding. Students also have the opportunity to control the learning process,making decisions about the pace, sequence and content of learning, and evaluating the results oftheir efforts and their learning strategies.

In this work, the degreeplan for a curriculum is represented as a directed acylic graph. Graph-theoretic metrics related toefficiency are then developed and applied to engineering degree plans obtained from a number ofpublic four-year institutions. In addition, student success data at the class level is adapted to createa weighted directed graph from which a cumulative curricular efficiency metric is obtained.
