Assistant professors Samuel Dickerson and Renee Clark have received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to help students in the 斯旺森工程学院 start to think about thinking. The two-year, $200,000 award will support a project to improve learning and development by promoting the frequent use of reflection and “metacognition” among students in a 电气与计算机工程系 class on microelectronic circuits.

迪克森说：“工程学不同于其他学科，因为这种思维过程并不球速体育是我们训练中固有的。” “Reflection and metacognition are not skills that are regularly cultivated or practiced in the engineering curriculum — in the classroom we are more focused on immediate problem-solving rather than pausing and looking at the big picture, which is more common in the engineering workplace.”

根据克拉克的说法，学生在课堂环境中更容易要求教授或助教帮助他们解决问题。 然而，在大学之外，可以依赖的资源可能更少。 Dickerson and Clark want to encourage engineering students to develop lifelong learning skills that will help them independently learn how to find a solution and ultimately give them an advantage when they join the workforce. 阅读更多球速体育APP这个最新体育赛事资讯、实时赔率分析及在线投注平台的信息.
