Developing these skills requires frequent practice in a variety of authentic andopen-ended complex problems [2, 3]. Despite its critical role in education, assessing CPSeffectively remains a significant challenge.

Sometimes this isin the form of a lecture on new content that the students haven’t seen before. At other times,this comes in the form of answering a student’s question or explaining something to a studentone-on-one.

Although forced displacement is one of the great global challenges of our time,insufficient attention is paid to this issue within higher education, and it is rarely explored incourses on engineering and basic and applied sciences.

In educational contexts, emotional responses to academic work have been foundto be quite similar [1].
