survey results to explore the impact of factors such as learning goals,study habits and skills, and learning readiness on student outcomes. Survey participantsresponded to questions from the Maryland Physics Expectations Survey (MPEX), and a mixtureof quantitative and qualitative research methods was applied for data collection. Conclusionsdraw on data analyses using an alternative taxonomy model in the cognitive domain. This study'sfindings reinforce our view that metacognition (knowledge of cognition) and knowledgeconstruction play an important role in learning. These findings also deepen our understanding ofwhy some engineering students struggle in physics classes and shed light on how to assiststudents in these courses.I

practices. Human capital analyses are problematic in explaining women’s location in the workforce and perpetuate the deficit model of gender inequality. (p. 156-157)Taken together, these three sets of critics point out major methodological flaws in using pipelineas a metaphor for structuring research studies: • Most studies do not articulate what counts as a “successful” scientific or engineering career. Must a person remain in the same profession for her entire working life for her to be considered “in” the pool? Or might there be more “kinds” of scientific-related careers that should “count” than that of bench scientist or design engineer?18 • Assuming that “gender effects” on career choices can be studied

Results demonstrate the restructuring impact on an engineering cur-riculum, particularly the computer engineering program at UNM. The effect is an improvementin the graduation rates of the students attending the revised engineering programs. These resultsare validated using a Markov Decision Processes (MDP) model. Furthermore, the findings of thispaper showcase the practical benefits of our approach and offer valuable insight for future ad-vancements in curriculum restructuring methodologies.keywords: curricular complexity, Markov decision processes

To do that would require some research and imagination on their parts. Although some students resisted working with the SDGs, the course evaluations suggestthat integrating them into the course themes and assignments generally increased students’perception of the course’s value and contribution to engineering education and practice. Inresponse to a question that asked students to identify aspects of the course that most helped theirlearning, students frequently commended the strength of the curriculum and the course’s focuson “real-world” challenges and applications for engineering knowledge
