: “Threshold concepts, once learned, are likely to bring together different aspects of the subject that previously did not appear, to the student, to be related3.” This is probably the most obvious connection this work due to the inherent need to apply fundamental principles of mathematics and science when solving complex engineering problems. For example, a statics problem may involve trigonometry, vector algebra, and Newton‟s second law of motion. Transformative: Threshold concepts are “akin to a portal, opening up a new and previously inaccessible way of thinking about something . . . it represents a transformed way of understanding, or interpreting, or viewing . . . without which the learner cannot
