ESCC consists of six core coursestaught by teams of ME faculty with clearly set educational objectives and managed by acoordinator and trained teaching assistants. Though essay type examination questions candemonstrate positive learning outcomes, multiple choice questions are better to pinpoint areas ofconceptual difficulties. After designing and adopting ESCC in 2006, faculty agreed that carefullydesigned multiple choice questions should form an integral part for all examinations in coreclasses. We frequently discuss performance data on conceptual questions and archive them

Many students’ experiences in engineering reflectlearning experiences developed from cognitive perspectives. Lectures, modeled demonstrations,and guided inquiry such as prescriptive laboratory classes align with cognitive theories, thatinformation is individually acquired [24], [35]. We do not claim that students were aware of theirtheoretical stance on learning. Rather, our finding that the majority of students within our studydescribe learning cognitively provides insight into another potential barrier to address whentranslating active learning
