As one LGBTQ student told us, “Not everyone needs a safespace” (WPI, 2015).Our specific research plan emerged from our sense that the LGBTQ community at WPI isrelatively large for an engineering school. We hypothesized that there may be aconnection to the unique curriculum here, although we have never isolated the effects ofour off-campus projects, our six-course humanities requirement, or our strong artsprogram on LGBTQ students. Rather, we have conducted surveys and interviews to hearfrom students about their experiences as queer engineering undergraduates.

A Native Americanand first generation college student explains: ….the asset map shows me what I’m capable of….I plan on editing my asset map again because I’m going to need it to remind myself what I’m good at.

Figure 1 depicts howthis may work. The three components of metacognitive control shown in Figure 1 – evaluate,monitor and plan -- are from Ertmer and Newby (1996). At IRE, students are supported inbecoming aware of and applying these control mechanisms predominantly through two tools—“Metacogs” and “Metachrons.” A “metachron” is simply a log that

again, I don't like putting the spotlight on particular students. I know that I hated that as a student and if a particular instructor did it too much, I'd sit toward the back of the class, not make eye contact or sometimes even skip.

This OoR is reflecting on his or her own experiences as astudent, comparing them with the learning environment he or she is creating and attempting tounderstand how the students feel and how this may affect their learning.Another excerpt

this approach is that the problem can be scoped by the professor so that it istractable in the time-frame and information is consistently given to all of the teams. It alsomakes assessment and planning easier. This makes scaling this kind of project much easier whendealing with many sections of the course. The disadvantage of this approach is that work doeshave to be done on the part of the instructors to provide enough detail of the fictionalenvironment to make the scenario “believable” to the students. Since the instructors were role-playing as the stakeholders, it is especially hard for both the students and the instructional staff tomake sure to not mix in the interests of the “stakeholders” and the professor (trying to please theprofessor

This caused an increase of the overall work-load for the students. A thorough examination of the LSM contents is needed to better balance the contents taught in the LSMs and the amount of activities in the KI modules. 3. Related to work-load balance, there were many activities assigned during the week when KI modules were taught. This forced readjustment of assignments given by LSMs. Attempts were made to avoid significant overlap of assignments from LSMs and KIs during the period of KI activities. 4. The student groups
