). Its purpose is to combine information literacy skills with thescientific method. It approaches the process of assessing sources by using the following steps: • Define context. • Find a source. • Use any Evaluative Framework (like CRAAP, RADAR, or CCOW). • Critique/Apply the Scientific Method.CEI can be used as an overall framework for finding and assessing literature intended to be usedin research projects [10]. In addition to the actual evaluation process, students are able todetermine the context of the information using their own knowledge of their profession. As theylearn more about their chosen discipline, they can use CEI to improve their information literacyskills [11]. CEI makes an effort to consider the needs of

engineering students should provide at least five things to lead to students’further academic success and prepare them for the job market: 1) material mastery, 2)communication, and collaboration, 3) software/programming skills, 4) learning andmetacognition, and 5) confidence. Students in traditional lecture-based classrooms may not betaught these skills [1][2]. Numerous studies have shown that active and cooperative learningclasses are better at addressing these than traditional lecture-based classes [3]. Some examples ofActive learning (AL) and Cooperative learning (CL) [4] are 1) Flipped classroom, 2) Studentpresentation, 3) Student projects, 4) Student discussion, and 5) Student group work.A traditional calculus class is often content-driven and

and epistemic curiosity, engineering identity, and self-efficacy will be used to gauge student progress [2]. As a result, the Industrial Engineering (IE)department adopted the ECP idea with a focus on implementing home-based hands-on activitiesfor two courses. Learning a specific idea can start at any point, but the ECP concept starts withthe presentation of an experiment to teach the students a theory. This greatly improves thestudent's ability to retain the taught theoretical topic. The ECP concept is based on the MobileStudio project designed by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to boost students' interest andsuccess in electrical engineering [3].

A paucity of data concerning levels of AEdisplayed by various populations was also observed. Fortunately, a survey instrument [14], originallydeveloped in 2001, was found to still be in use as a tool for measuring AE, and various studies hadindicated its reliability [9], [15].
