engineering students in learning solid modeling skillsIntroductionEngineering graphics and solid modeling are essential tools for design and manufacturing in thefield of biomedical engineering. Over the past decade, advancements in additive manufacturinghave made building design prototypes from computer models much easier. For example, recentimprovements have been made to development of medical devices [1] or surgical procedures [2]based on specific anatomical characteristics of each individual patient. In addition, solid modelsgenerated in computer-aided design (CAD) programs such as SolidWorks (Dassault Systèmes,Vélizy-Villacoublay, France) are often easily importable to commercial numerical analysissoftware packages such as finite element and

Besterfield-Sacre in 1997, incoming engineering students were surveyed ontheir perceptions of engineering as a field, their own abilities as engineers, and their confidencein their success [1]. The performance and retention of the students were then tracked for thefollowing three years and related back to their initial attitudes. Students who left engineering ingood academic standing had significantly different attitudes about themselves and engineeringcompared to students who stayed in engineering, or who left in poor academic standing.

Some modern-day foldable structures respond and adapt to changing needs andconditions. This has made them multifunctional and with enhanced performance. They includeretractable roofs, movable theaters, rapidly-deployable emergency shelters and kinetic facades,among others. Much remains to be discovered and understood in this field.

IntroductionIn some philosophical discussions, it is recognized as the Socratic Paradox, i.e. “knowing whatyou do not know,” – in this light, an individual is considered ‘better off’ knowing that and whatthey do not know, versus knowing that they do not know [1].

A person’s mindsetguides a great deal of how they approach life – and especially how one approaches education.Dweck defines two different mindsets: a “fixed mindset” and “growth mindset” [1]. Someonewith a fixed mindset believes that their intelligence is fixed and unchangeable. On the otherhand, someone with a growth mindset believes that their intelligence is changeable and can growas they learn more. Most people’s mindset lies along a continuum with these two mindsets
