Prior work suggests there is overlap between some of the keycompetencies systems architects should have with those required for artists [8]. This insight wasused to suggest a plan to teach systems engineering using a studio art approach, as employed inthe arts, rather than the traditional instructional approaches employed when teaching engineeringsciences [9]. In this paper, we will report what happened in the first semester where the studio artapproach was implemented in a systems engineering course. We collected both quantitative andqualitative feedback from students to understand how they responded to the new course format.As often occurs when trying a new teaching method

When encountering challenging, gender-based situations, women react in various ways, from ignoring the situation to leaving theengineering field completely. Through a literature review, this paper investigates conceptuallyaligning counterfactual thinking and career motivation theory for early career women engineers.Counterfactual thinking is the creation of alternative scenarios to events that already occurredand imagining different consequences or benefits. Career motivation theory aims to understandcareer plans and decisions. From these theories, this review explores the effects of counterfactualthinking on women engineers’ reactions to

However, within leadership skills thestudents assigned a much higher value to coordinating and planning tasks and building teamcohesion than to motivating and supervising others, which shows that they ascribe different valueto different leadership skills.

However,results of a subsequent survey revealed that, although students had improved their confidence insolving problems, the main perceived difficulty remains setting up and solving appropriatemathematical equations. This result is counter-intuitive, because early calculus and manipulationof simple algebraic equations are the main mathematical tools used in solving appliedthermodynamic problems at this level. These skills are considered acquired knowledge thatstudents are expected to have previously applied in first-year physics and calculus classes.

Self-regulated learning has been studied over morethan two decades in general classroom settings and various assessment methods exist in theliterature. It is commonly agreed that self-regulation is a good predictor of student’s academicsuccess. For instance, relationships were examined in [1] among motivational orientation, self-regulated learning, and classroom academic performance, and their regression analyses revealedthat self-regulation, self-efficacy, and test anxiety emerged as the best predictors of performance.

Learners interact with theirenvironment through exploration, object manipulation, contemplation of questions andcontroversies, and experimentation.

. Thisstrongly relates to metacognition.As described by Schraw and Dennison [2], metacognition refers to “the ability to reflect on,understand, and control one’s learning.” Sometimes described by the informal shorthand“thinking about thinking,” a more formal definition of metacognition typically includes elementsof knowledge of cognition (declarative knowledge involved with understanding learningprocesses and strategies, and knowing when to adopt a particular strategy), and regulation ofcognition (procedural knowledge of planning, monitoring, and adapting one’s learning) [3];although many other distinctions for elements of metacognition exist [4].Metacognition is a key asset as students transition to the more independent post-secondarylearning
