For example, including video lectures with built in navigation through slides or captions. ● Principle 2 recommends integrating options for planning and composition.

In the firstyear of the award, there were only two students in the program and cohorting was achieved byregular meetings with the program director. In the subsequent years, the group has increased insize and more planned cohorting activities, both in-class and outside-the-class, were developed.To start with, the students were assigned the same academic advisor in order to select classesthey can take together.

Verbalpersuasion is most effective at increasing self-efficacy when the one doing the persuading is seenas an expert [13]. Exposure to verbal persuasion is also likely to be low for pre-serviceelementary teachers, as engineering design is not a focus of the pre-service curriculum. A majorexception to this, as with mastery experience, would be those in the section of the sciencemethods course at Purdue University that utilizes engineering design.

At least in the USA, most PhDs work in academia, but this number is on the decline[10]. The tracking of this information by the NSF has led some researchers to ask what makesscientists and engineers choose the kinds of jobs they do. Yet, the research on self-selection intoan academic versus industry career in engineering is limited.

]. Spohrer [3] analyzed programming errors using a cognitive sciencemodel. Spohrer used a Goal And Plan tree to trace the root causes of errors, which defined plans(steps/procedures) as the techniques to solve the problem, and the goals as the desired result toachieve or accomplish. Spohrer found that once there is a mismatch between a plan and a goal,an error occurs. Yarmish used a similar approach but added more components to a plan [4].Other work suggests that errors occur due to inaccurate mental models about program state[3][4][7][13][14]. Horstmann [5] presents a list of common errors when introducing C++programming concepts and constructs. Horstmann presents common errors in each chapter,which may help students avoid such errors.
