MAI is an instrument designed to assess general self-regulated learning skills. Theinstrument has 52 items that are classified by type of cognitive knowledge: declarative (DK),procedural (PK), and conditional (CK); or by specific metacognitive process: planning (P),information management strategies (IMS), monitoring (M), debugging strategies (DS), andevaluation (E).

engineering programs having a first-year engineering course (Chen, Brawner, Ohland, & Orr, 2013), there are needs to conduct moreformal research within the first-year engineering space. One specific need is for a program-wideassessment and evaluation plan that goes beyond student-learning objectives and incorporatesprogrammatic initiatives such as increased retention and student motivation. These student-growthobjectives are often missing in an assessment plan for first-year engineering.Literature ReviewFirst-Year Engineering ProgramsFirst-year engineering (FYE) programs have a wide variety of goals and outcomes for theirstudents.

Sincethe majority of the school systems in the upper Midwest are characterized as rural, a uniqueaspect of this program is the focus on this demographic of teacher. To create the largest possibleimpact in a rural educational community, this program selects participants who are the only mathor science teacher in their school building. In addition, each in-service teacher works alongside apre-service teacher in NDSU’s mathematics education or science education program. Thisprovides a valuable experience for both the in-service and pre-service teachers while engaging ina collaborative experience. Having completed

All 13 instructors plan to continue to use POGIL in their IntroCS courses.IntroductionProcess Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) is a pedagogy that organizes students inlearning teams to develop both content knowledge and process skills (e.g. problem solving,teamwork, and written/oral communication). Compared to most other active learning strategies,POGIL is more explicitly constructive because of the way its activities are designed andfacilitated.

The MICROMEGAS consists of steel mesh that isseparated from a PCB by 100-150 microns of Kapton or insulator pillars. The region between themetallic mesh and the PCB has a very high electric filed that allows electron multiplication usingimpact ionization. We are predicting that the MICROMEGAS can provide better amplificationand better signal to noise ratio than the GEM fluorescence’s detector.

How?’ Throughcoding students’ responses, we discovered that students are thinking metacognitively aboutdesign through articulating plans, efficient use of time, monitoring their steps, and evaluatingtheir design processes. While all students can articulate their design intentions, some studentsexplore a nuanced understanding of their design intentions and subsequent actionable strategiesthat could impact how they design in the future.
