integrating selected ST and SE topics in a sophomore-level design course [14-17], thispaper outlined a possible approach to translate that effort to other stages within an undergraduatemechanical engineering program, specifically at the freshman-level.The baseline STSS results reported here highlight the potential of the proposed intervention tosignificantly improve students’ abilities in ST and SE. For example, average post-testperformance on technical questions was only 53%, indicating plenty of room for learning andimprovement. In addition, the difference in results between the two sections of the STSS –namely, significant change in students’ self-efficacy (perception) vs. no significant change instudents’ performance (direct measure) – emphasizes

, interconnectivity and integration [1]. SystemsThinking (ST) is considered an active framework to better manage complex system problemdomains. It focuses on how the constituent parts of a system pertain to the whole system and theway the systems work within larger systems over time. This holistic approach contrasts with thetraditional analysis whose aim is to study the individual pieces of a system separately. Bloom etal. [2] and Anderson et al. [3] established a taxonomy whose aim is to classify educationalobjectives in a hierarchy from less to more complex. Bloom’s taxonomy was revised later byAnderson and his colleagues to fit modern education objectives. Stave and Hopper [4] and Hopperand Stave [5] offered a system parallel to Bloom’s taxonomy of

students develop ideas based on opportunities they identify inorder to validate a market and assess the creation of value. The winner is often offered a“contract” to produce the product for university purposes [14] .Some schools integrated EML in their course projects. The authors of the paper “EntrepreneurialMindset and the University Curriculum [15]” applied technology based dynamic live case studywith color graphics animated computer simulation in their entrepreneurial course. The live casestudy involves multiple student visits to existing companies. Students construct a companysupply chain under the professor’s guidance. Bilen, et al suggested to provide students withmultiple exposures to what it means to have an entrepreneurial mindset [16

interpreting the regression coefficients, we achieve our secondresearch goal to suggest specific improvements that instructors can use to give their students morefailure opportunities during PBL.1 IntroductionABET’s Criterion 5 requires engineering programs to provide all undergraduate students a majordesign experience that entails technical knowledge and skills acquired through the curriculum andincorporates realistic standards and constraints. The major design experience mentioned in thecriterion is an example of project-based learning (PBL): the theory and practice of using real-worldprojects that have time restrictions to achieve specific objectives and to facilitate individual andcollective learning [1]. PBL is a learner-centered approach that
