report theirperceived level of self-efficacy in different topics related to ST and SE. This section representsan indirect measure of students’ abilities because students are reporting their perceptions of theirabilities. By contrast, in the second section, students need to apply knowledge in ST and SE toanswer several questions (i.e., direct measure of students’ ability to apply ST and SE conceptsand skills). Each question provides a product or system familiar to most engineering students forcontext.The first section of the STSS includes 44 items asking students “How well do you think that youcan apply the topics mentioned below to an engineering project?” Student responses arecollected via a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1=Not at all to 5

promote effective knowledge construction (i.e., mentalprocess in which a learner takes many separate pieces of information and usesthem to build an overall understanding or interpretation), skill mastery (i.e.,learning a skill thoroughly), learning transfer, and motivational aspects associatedwith effective learning, such as self-efficacy (i.e., belief that one is capable ofexecuting certain tasks and achieving certain goals) and mastery orientation (i.e.,belief that one is capable of accomplishing challenging tasks) [10].With a digital twin, students can get immediate feedback on system behavior (inresponse to what-if injects), identify issues, and develop a mental model for howthe physical twin is likely to perform in the real-world under
