students 'ramp up' in theproject. As the students come to understand the problem and generate solution concepts, thenumber of issues will rise. A plateau may occur as the students become involved in bringing theirconcepts into practice. When the students have selected a concept to follow, the number of issueswill steadily rise again as they record and resolve implementation problems and refinements.We have found that students and coaches can better track progress when well defined milestones,or 'versions' as they are called in Redmine, are used in the project plan. When new issues arecreated, they may be tied to a version. Redmine can then list the issues that must be achieved toreach a version, providing a 'to-do' list for the team. Issues may be

By pointing out to students the benefits of advancing throughthe problem definition phase, they are likely to engage more actively in the process. Couplingwith this is an emphasis that the final product of the design process is not the sole criterion onwhich students will be evaluated and creativity early in the design is stressed. It is important thatthis is made clear to both the assessor and the student. While the output of the phase, acomprehensive plan of approach and a well defined understanding of the needs and issues of theproject, is important

software will offer students and teachers more flexible and efficient tools that address some of theseimplementation challenges. For example, a significant obstacle to using an inquiry approach in the classroom is thelack of experience teachers possess in engaging their students in argumentation and convergent sense-making.InterLACE will address this issue by developing tools that grant students a forum for their ideas and give teachers away to aggregate and analyze this data. We realize that a software tool alone is not the ultimate cure, therefore weare equally focused on providing professional development that would instruct teachers on how to facilitate acollaborative inquiry process during design-based projects.

Thestudents were challenged to make connections between their hands-on experiences and the largerhistorical and geographic contexts. In other words, interdisciplinary, experiential learning wasapplied not to the technical component of engineering education, but to the societal contextcomponent. The preliminary results were encouraging.

One overarching learning goal emphasized in this interventional study isthat students develop proficiency in using collaborative approaches to understand engineeringconcepts. Their engagement in peer learning strategies prepare them for professional settings thatrequire communication and leadership skills. As most online course environments are siloed innature, students engaged in the collaborative learning had to employ listening and teamworkskills to carefully address the peer led activities.

relates to student self-assessment of theirperceived mastery of a given subject. General confidence can factor into a student’s self-efficacy. However, other significant variables include planning [2], time management [3], andinformation processing [3], among others. This suggests a covariation between general traitsascribed to high-achieving students and their GPAs, which aligns with the general thinking thatgood students will have good study habits. Students seem cognizant of this as their GPA appearsto have a significant correlation to their perception of their higher-order cognitive skillimprovement [4]. While connections have been made between student self-efficacy and theirGPAs [5] [6], there appears to be a relative dearth of literature
