operationalized them for theengineering design context. While not intended to be exhaustive, these categories, listed below,served as a framework for guiding both the intervention and analysis. Their primary aim was toencourage students to examine several ways in which unconscious processes influence and biasdecision-making. 1. The Views of the People Around Us: How people may be influenced by their social environment and how it may be difficult to not conform to majority views. 2. Human Error and the Limits of Our Perception: The impact of “blind spots” in our perception due to limitations around what we are allowed or able to observe. 3. Internal Beliefs and Biases: This includes heuristics, quick assumptions our mind makes

be a difficult journey that is characterized by trial and error, moments of confusion,and periods of frustration. Computer science educators often resort to assignments andexamination scores to assess students’ level of understanding, which often results in late 1and untimely intervention that could prevent early dropouts and high failure rates. Earlyidentification of when and why students are struggling during the process of coding is essentialfor both timely intervention and effective teaching. This is particularly important for largeclasses, where individualized attention is practically impossible.To address this problem, we develop and evaluate an analytical tool that leverages keystrokedata
