For example, average post-testperformance on technical questions was only 53%, indicating plenty of room for learning andimprovement. In addition, the difference in results between the two sections of the STSS –namely, significant change in students’ self-efficacy (perception) vs. no significant change instudents’ performance (direct measure) – emphasizes

The students were encouraged to use criticalthinking skills to analyze requirements and constraints which would apply for advanced real-worldproblems. Significant improvement in critical thinking skills of students have been achievedthrough this sequence.

Asstudents advance in their studies and specialize, the models become more complex as fewerassumptions are made.Engineering science courses are typically taught with a lecture-based pedagogy and assignstudents sets of homework problems to engage them in practicing the course material outside ofclass time. Problem sets usually comprise problems from the course textbook or are written bythe professor. Although the number and length of problem sets varies by instructor, a problem settypically takes several hours of work (and in the U.S., a 3-credit-hour 12-week undergraduatecourse assumes 6 hours per week of out-of-class work).
