AND MOTIVATIONHow many educators are frustrated when students seem unable to recall something discussed inclass the previous week? How often are teachers disappointed in their students’ ability to identifyand correctly apply concepts from prerequisite courses to their current course? How many timesdo students disappoint their instructors by not seeing how the concept currently being coveredbuilds directly on a concept previously learned? After first teaching CE404 (Design of SteelStructures) and CE483 (Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures), the author responded to eachof these questions with: “Quite often! Nearly every lesson! I’m frustrated about this! What can Ido about it?” Importantly, it is not instructor frustration that matters

The intervention is designed to makestudents aware of biases in model base learning, their own tendencies towards these kinds ofbiases, and the sorts of impacts these biases can have on real populations. An importantcomponent of the intervention is that it is embedded into the teaching of analytical content, ratherthan being an

fundamental engineering knowledge to model and design complexengineering systems. These findings have had a major impact on the revision of nationalaccreditation criteria for engineering programs [3]. The engineering education paradigm hasshifted to not being “what is taught” to “what is being learnt”through program educationalobjectives and student learning outcomes [4]. These developments in industry needs andaccreditation criteria have necessitated the need of changing the focus of delivery of engineeringeducation to more hands-on student-centered teaching and learning methodologies in contrastwith mostly static and one-way lecture-based teaching.Engineering Design and Project Based LearningThe primary goal of engineering curriculum is to prepare
