A teacher usually has a tight lesson plan calibrated to the requirement of a StateEducation Board and/or SAT/ACT requirement nationwide. The challenge of asking a teacher totrain a student’s mind for the development of an engineering mindset is not an easy task. Amongthe high school subjects, physics could be one of the subject that is amenable for modification interms of exposing students to design related to science knowledge.

Examination of curriculum andacademic program instruction shows that approximately 90% of applied critical thinking academicprogram goals and learning outcomes at the mastery level are demonstrated through ‘problemsolving’, ‘design’, and within ‘team-based’ assignments.

Requirements that students becalculus-ready before starting an engineering degree program can prohibit students frommajoring in engineering disciplines. Although some programs exist (e.g., summer bridge andred-shirt-like programs) to serve students “whose high school records do not yet represent theirpotential,” program capacity is often well below the need [38]. Enrollment Management (EM)policies arbitrarily exclude students based on performance in prerequisite classes that are notalways indicative of potential in major coursework or as a practicing engineer.

Since then, several people andorganizations have posted their own definition of CT, which presents a challenge in being able toassess CT understanding and awareness in people. In an effort to build consensus on how to bestassess CT, the authors have developed a web-based tool that will enable CT experts globally
