.3 Though not anexhaustive comprehension, engineering literacy develops citizens through their participation in aculture and society that depends on engineering projects. Engineering literate persons functionfully within such a society, participating in engineering projects not only insofar as engineeringtraining is required, but also in recognition of the broader social impact of those projects. In previous work in engineering literacy, we identified four major factors as significant inself-assessments of engineering literacy: Basic knowledge of engineers and engineering, Impactsof engineering on human life, Thinking and acting like an engineer, and Basic skills in the use oftechnology.4 We used these factors to develop a survey that

However, it is observed that while students are morecollaborative in such dynamic learning environments, they still tend to align themselves to theviews of their team, and eventually, the direction of the course is defined by the instructor. So,while the active learning approach does bring the team along in the process of learning, there aresome aspects that still need to be addressed. One such aspect is the students’ engagement in termsof communicating their doubts and confusions. Typically, students show their original work viaassignments, quizzes, projects, and tests.
