Thisallows instructors to easily pinpoint the muddiest and most interesting concepts.Finally, group-based activities such as in-class activities and projects have been found to be aneffective student-centered engagement strategy9. Here, students work with team members tocomplete short-term or long-term assignments or projects. In this study, we will explore bothshort-term assignments in the form of class problem sets involving statistical software and long-term design projects focusing on design of experiment and statistical analysis of previouslyuntested hypotheses.Overall the organization of classes is as follows: students watch pencasts

design processskills are not unlike decision making skills employed in real-life. However, describingengineering to pre-college students in these foreign terms may be intimidating2 which mayinhibit students from pursuing engineering in college. Therefore, there is a need to advertiseengineering for what it is: implemented problem solving.Engineers are natural problem solvers and seek challenge. Allowing novice engineers (pre-college students) to practice and develop their problem solving skills through design allows themto connect concept with implementation and verification thereby enhancing understanding andinterest while reducing apprehension to “engineering”. As students achieve success in smalldesign projects, their confidence is increased3
