especiallyimportant due to potential pitfalls surrounding computational modeling. As Lingefjärd [13]documented, masters students building models in a computational environment would lend anunreasonable level of trust to the results of those models. In a sense, computing would ‘takeover’ and students would not engage in critical thinking to critique their own models.Lingefjärd’s studies “confirmed the essential role played by the validation part of mathematicalmodeling when technology is present.” Explicit instruction and practice in validation maycontribute to training students who exercise engineering judgment to wield and consumecomputational models critically.While explicit teaching of modeling is rare in undergraduate education, there does exist

classrooms to help with student engagement andknowledge retention.IntroductionResearch shows that student success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) fields can be correlated not only to their innate ability and intelligence but also to theirself-efficacy and implicit beliefs (growth mindset) [1, 2]. Many students enter their courses at theuniversity level with the belief that their peers are only doing well because they are more intelligentor more naturally gifted. While there may always a few students with greater natural ability, thereason for most engineering students’ success appears to be their ability to learn, grow, and adjustbased on feedback and criticism instead of crumbling under pressure.Providing students with

The importance of socialimpact in engineering is reflected in the required student outcomes set by the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET). Student outcome two in the second criterion states that graduatesshould have “an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs withconsideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, andeconomic factors” [3]. Engineering students can learn to incorporate these factors in their designs andconsider
