Computer Engineering (32)This is a proof of concept project that is educating students in the use of "double-loop learning" to improve their self-regulated learning (SRL) skills and thereby increase their learning capacity and their design skills. The study builds on earlier work funded by NSF that developed assessments of students' knowledge and skill in the design process. The specific objective of this project are: (1) to contribute to the understanding of how students learn to create open-ended designs and develop reflective practice, (2) to provide materials and an instructional model that can applied to other courses, and (3) to develop a validated instrument for measuring students' design process skill and reflective practice. The study has three phases. In the first phase the assessment instrument is being given to all students enrolled in electrical and computer engineering (ECE) to establish baseline performance levels both across the curriculum and in the computer engineering design courses. In the second phase, the junior-level computer engineering design course is being revised so that students use the process assessments as a basis for continuous improvement. After each third of the course, students will take the process assessments and use the results to devise improvement plans. The change in their understanding and use of appropriate design process, the quality of their design artifacts, and the impact on their reflective practice skills and attitudes is then being compared to that of students who took the course the previous year in the traditional format.

计算机工程(32)这是一个概念验证项目，旨在教育学生使用“双环学习”来提高他们的自我调节学习(SRL)技能，从而提高他们的学习能力和设计技能。这项研究建立在由NSF资助的早期工作的基础上，该工作开发了对学生在设计过程中的知识和技能的评估。本项目的具体目标是：(1)帮助理解学生如何学习创造开放式设计和发展反思实践；(2)提供可应用于其他课程的材料和教学模式；(3)开发一种有效的工具，用于测量学生的设计过程技能和反思实践。这项研究分为三个阶段。在第一阶段，正在向所有就读电气和计算机工程(欧洲经委会)的学生提供评估工具，以确定整个课程和计算机工程设计课程的基准成绩水平。在第二阶段，初级计算机工程设计课程正在修订，以便学生将过程评估作为持续改进的基础。在课程的每三分之一之后，学生将进行过程评估，并使用结果来制定改进计划。然后将他们对适当设计过程的理解和使用的变化、他们的设计文物的质量以及对他们反思实践技能和态度的影响与前一年以传统形式参加该课程的学生进行比较。
