Life-long Learning
One of the objectives of university engineering programs is for graduates to recognize the need for life-long learning. What may not be obvious to students is that this is part “why” and part “how”.
A common term in academic literature is self-directed learners (SDL) or self-regulated learners(SRL), who are defined by personal initiative, perseverance and adoptive skill. They use skills such as setting goals, finding a strategy and then evaluating if that strategy worked [1].
The first part of your essay should address the “why” of your personal life-long learning. What are your personal career (or educational) goals and why do you need life-long learning?
The second part should cover “how” you can engage in life-long learning. This is more specific to your chosen discipline. What learning experiences have worked well for you in the past?
What are some accepted ways to keep yourself “current” in your chosen profession? What ways do you think will work best for you in the future?
Your essay should meet the following formatting guidelines:
• Approximately two pages MS Word document
• Font: Times New Roman, 12 point
• A header on the first page only, with the title, your name, class, and date single spaced (1.15)
• Double spaced text = 2.0 line spacing in Word Either indentation of new paragraphs or line space between paragraphs, but not both
• “Normal” margins in Word, 1 inch
