Of interest to us was how they created these skills as theycollaborated on projects in an undergraduate first-year design course with the facilitation of apeer mentor.ConfidenceStudents need to develop their confidence so they can comfortably move outside of their comfortzones when faced with situations of uncertainty [11, 12].

These real-world applications and projects wereinherently multidisciplinary, because they challenged students to draw on and integrate theirmastery of essential course outcomes related to physics, statics, calculus 3 and circuits.

Since problem-based learning has been effective in learning and improving CT skills(Ulger, 2018), it is always recommended to be utilized within the projects and assign-ments of engineering education. Based on these definitions, the challenging feature ofproblems can impact the student’s critical thinking though they are completely dif-ferent concepts. That is our main motivation to investigate this issue and recommendapproaches to distinguish these two terms for instructors and students of computer andsoftware engineering courses.
