Students come into these programs at various levels of academic preparation, and students may experience cognitive overload when asked to simultaneously use mathematical skills and higher-order thinking skills. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of new approaches to introducing complex, relevant contexts and skills, methods must be developed that can provide evidence of metacognition and critical thinking skills. These methods can also facilitate research into problem-solving strategies. The overall goal of this project is to design problems for first year students that introduce complex real world topics that are effective for building problem-solving skills for students at all levels of academic preparation. The study presented here is the preliminary qualitative analysis of students' audio commentary in which they reflect on their written problem solutions in a first year engineering course. These reflections were performed within 24 hours of completing written work. Our analysis provides evidence of metacognition retrospectively, as well as during the post-hoc think-aloud commentary. This research methodology effectively identifies student problem-solving strategies, including cognitive, metacognitive and procedural information, and provides evidence that think-aloud protocols are useful in eliciting metacognition and critical thinking.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128939982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although not much is known about all the factors that influence undergraduate students' decision to pursue or not pursue graduate studies, particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, recent research indicates that many undergraduates feel unprepared for graduate studies and view the research requirement as a deterrent. Opportunities for undergraduates to engage in research have increased recently as a result of federally funded programs including Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs), McNair Achievement Programs and Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Summer Institutes (BBSI). Students work in research laboratories during the summer, interact with faculty and graduate students, learning hands-on how to do research. The Attitudes toward Graduate Studies Survey was developed to help evaluate the effectiveness of these programs at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Students who participate in these programs show increases in their attitudes toward graduate studies and have significantly higher attitudes than students who do not participate. Often students indicate confidence in their ability to pursue graduate studies but only a small percentage think that they will have the skills necessary to begin a Ph.D. program when they complete their undergraduate degree. A possible conclusion is that even though students feel confident in their academic abilities they do not feel confident enough about their research skills to complete a Ph.D. program, making research programs such as REU's, BBSI and McNair, necessary. A follow-up study of students who attended these programs at NJIT over the last decade has found that participation in these programs increases attendance in graduate programs.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130775382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

COMPLEETE is an initiative for a national program to build and recognize educator excellence in engineering and engineering technology at three levels. The proposed curriculum for the introductory level is compared with curricula from nine well-established existing programs. The content is specifically targeted to benefit engineering and engineering technology instructors in higher education, integrate with the values and programs already offered within ASEE, serve as a foundation for further development at higher levels, and be flexible to suit the needs of a diverse instructional community. The nine existing programs were coded under the overarching COMPLEETE criteria and then analyzed for commonalities and alignment. The proposed core competency areas were found to comprehensively represent existing programs. They are: learning theory, student development, instructional design, instructional facilitation methods, assessing and providing feedback to learners, instructional technology, and reflective practice. The proposed curriculum lays a foundation for those offering faculty development services to compare against, and challenges the engineering and engineering technology community of educators to address key competency areas all faculty should develop within 3-5 years of beginning teaching.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116893847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These students, referred to as `academic solitaries,' explicitly state that they do not interact or study much with their academic peers and may find a sense of belonging elsewhere. Using a mixed methods approach (including interviews with students and surveys), our data show that while some students are happy studying alone and do so by choice (`preferred solitaires'), others universally express feeling like an outsider and study alone as a result (`outsider solitaries'). We argue that many of these outsider solitaries may be at risk of dropping out or changing fields over short, moderate, or long-term time scales. As part of our mixed methods study, we have identified a unifying set of indicators that can be obtained by survey at much lower self-select bias than recruiting students for interviews. We found that this approach allows greater success in identifying outsider solitaries at potential risk of dropping out. In this pilot study, we show that using these affective indicators in survey form can potentially allow practitioners to identify students at risk of dropping out long before they reach the point of leaving.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116907513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
