To begin, it would be helpful tointroduce students explicitly to the growth mindset at an early point in their academic career andto continue to reinforce the principles of this mindset throughout a student’s college career.Although this study introduced the mindsets in an academic setting, these mindsets areapplicable in all areas of life and learning. Even if interventions such as the one in this studydon’t affect all students’ mindsets, there are still many students for whom learning about growthmindset will make a difference. In order to more robustly investigate the question of shiftingmindsets, it would be necessary to carry out the study on a larger sample of students. It

early as the sixties2-4 is nowadays prevalent in numerousengineering schools, which, in recent years, have been trying to overcome it by proposing anumber of reform initiatives5-7. Particularly, a popular approach has been to introduce design-based curricula which include hands-on engineering design, oftentimes using modeling andsimulation software8-11. Some of the reasons mentioned for this urge for curricula reform are thedeclining interest of American high-school students for the career (down 18% since 1991), thechanging workforce demographics, the new industrial dynamics brought about by “masscustomization” and other new manufacturing needs and techniques12. Apart from the broader societal changes, technical advances have also been
