An important element of measuring effectiveness of engineering education,therefore, is to assess the impact of content delivery methodologies on the resolve and self-beliefof the students as they progress through various courses during the curriculum [7].A very important subject in undergraduate engineering curriculum is engineering modeling anddesign.
