Student assessed integrated learning: SAILing to a holistic design of holistic engineering education

This Work-in-Progress paper presents a framework for students' holistic learning, growth, and development recently created at and for Northeastern University. The Student Assessed Integrated Learning (SAIL) initiative was introduced for the first time to 179 first-year students who had not designated their major prior to entering the University. Our preliminary data indicate that most students felt the SAIL framework informed how they viewed their past experiences and helped them to shape their academic, personal, and/or professional goals. Further data collection and analyses to investigate the SAIL framework's effectiveness in helping students articulate and shape holistic learning is ongoing.
