reports the results for the data collected between April 2007 and April 2009 with amixed method approach.The ContextThe field of electrical engineering (EE) has been advancing with a remarkable pace for the lastthree decades. The rapid advancements in EE have impacted other fields of engineering and hasenhanced its importance among different engineering disciplines8, 10. A host of today’s cuttingedge technologies crucial to the economic development of any country are the off-shoots ofdifferent branches of EE11. This increased interdependence of engineering disciplines hasprompted many institutions to modify their curriculums to train the future engineers to beknowledgeable in all aspects of engineering including EE. In line with these trends, the
States [2]. In addition to the workforceneeds, scientific and technological literacy are increasingly recognized as central to informeddecision-making for all individuals living in the 21st century [5]. With the need for a STEM-literate population to fill the increasing number of STEM jobs and make informed personal andsocietal decisions, preparing students for success in STEM is of unprecedented importance.These calls for improving K-12 STEM education culminated in the Framework for K-12 ScienceEducation [6] and the Next Generation Science Standards [7] that put forth new nationalstandards that purposefully and explicitly integrate engineering, technology, and mathematicalthinking into science education.

In other words, we need to gather pertinent information for the design, andresearch whether existing technologies can be incorporated into the design. A design engineer isexpected to be creative when generating new ideas that may solve the problem. There can beseveral solutions to the given problem by considering different aspects. After generating themultiple solutions, we need to analyze each solution against the selection criteria for theproblem in order to check whether it fits the requirements specified by the problem. After wehave selected the best possible solution, we need to test that particular solution. Since

This tendency responds to the necessities of economic globalization,rapid advances in technology and cognitive science3 4. In addition, in many of the world’scountries it has been observed that the graduation rate of engineers has fallen in relation to theprojected demand for these professionals5. This
