A potential concern of an overly difficultescape room is a decrease in student’s confidence to succeed [10]. Although setting challengingproximal goals is also useful in developing self-efficacy [11]. One goal of this escape room wasto provide an additional opportunity for students to practice skills and use equipment before theybegin an open-ended project at an appropriate challenge level [12]. Since self-efficacy (i.e., task-specific and situational confidence) can be increased with authentic mastery experiences [11], theescape room provides an opportunity to practice or demonstrate mastery of laboratory skills.

clearlydifferentiated, and coordinated patterns of interdependence are specified (Mohammed &Dumville, 2001). In undergraduate engineering contexts, like capstone design projects, problemsare more complex and less constrained (Howe et al., 2017). Given the complexity of designcontexts compared to the more structured contexts found in the current shared mental modelliterature, it is not yet clear if the measurement techniques used in those studies are useful.Moreover, though we might expect the findings to carry over into the design context, it is notclear if results and findings related to shared mental models found in more structured problemsettings will have the same characteristics compared to a more complex problem-solvingenvironment.2.2 Engineering

Lack of time to plan andimplement NE was cited as the topmost challenge for teachers.  Inability to figure out books andproblems, pressure from administration, difficulties in lesson planning, group dynamics amongstudents, and safety of students while handling materials were some of the other concernsmentioned in the evaluation.Similar findings were uncovered in a survey of 70 elementary and middle school teachers doneby Coppola, S.M., Madariaga, L. and Schnedeker, M.

Inthis course, Rojas created five assessment categories: quizzes, homeworks, exams, a project, andindividual project contributions. Given that Rojas taught this course several times before, heassumed that previous assignments already mapped well to the Course Learning Objectives(CLOs) and he did not need to update the assignment content. Next, Rojas converted eachassignment so that he could grade them as either needs revision (NR), low pass (LP), or highpass (HP) with the only

CTMembers of the education research community have argued that computational thinking needs tobe taught in courses beyond computer science [7], [12], [13]. The National Science Foundation(NSF) has recently promoted the integration of computational thinking into math and sciencecourses, resulting in so-called STEM + computing curricular approaches (STEM + C). However,this CT instruction has been positioned as an add-on, rather than an integral component ofdisciplinary practice in these efforts [14]. Expanding this work, the NSF’s Discovery ResearchPreK-12 program has encouraged projects that “integrate computing and computational thinkingwithin one or more of the other STEM disciplines as a way to improve teaching and learning informal education
