explanation for the apparent regression in theseskills is that some students may have gained experiences that tested their skills throughout thesemester in new ways, revealing that they had deficiencies in these skills that they were notoriginally aware of. An example of such an experience is the team projects in the concurrentcourse Unit Operations Laboratory where students were randomly assigned to work in severaldifferent teams throughout the semester rather than forming teams with their friends. 22 20 18 16 Number of Responses 14 12 10 8

methods used to explore neural processes of decision-making andproblem solving under laboratory conditions are electroencephalography (EEG) and functionalmagnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). However, each have limitations, which has led to anemergent viable third option to study complex processes in more realistic environments, calledfunction near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). We will briefly discuss all three methods.EEG involves a head covering (e.g., cap or net) which places electrodes on the scalp andmeasures electrical changes in the brain. Temporal resolution is very good (detects quickchanges) though spatial resolution is poor because signals often interfere with one another andmake it difficult to pinpoint specific brain regions involved

While such a course has the advantage of exposing a large number ofstudents to some science and engineering knowledge, unless well-done, such a course is likely tohave minimal impact on the overall understanding of technological or engineering principles andpractices for most of the students. Courses could also be centered on laboratory experiments,which allow the students to gain hands-on experience with engineering principles
