of decision-making as one of the teaching competencies. This isdespite the fact that almost all modern engineering jobs require critical decision-making skillson an everyday basis [7]. The importance of decision-making for engineering students ingetting jobs is also evidenced by the National Employability Survey (India) of 2016 and 2019[11] and research by Deming [12] on the growing importance of decision-making skills forthe majority of jobs including the ones in the engineering field.This is where we find a gap in current engineering education where the majority of thecurricula do not take decision-making into account. This is due to various reasons including:  Lack of perceived need for teaching skills such as decision-making: Many
