The problems developed in the platform can be set up so that students have multipleattempts to correctly solve the problem. In addition, problems can also be scaffolded so thatstudents receive instantaneous feedback on intermediate stages of a complex problem.

Furthermore,engineering work is typically project-based, with many projects lacking a predefined solution.Engineers are responsible for defining
