The Institute of Medicine estimates that “tens of thousands of deaths and injuries arecaused by medical mistakes every year [1]. The FDA estimates that number to be nearly 500,000[1]. Nowadays, one of the main worries in maintaining a high level of safety in health careenvironments is to closely follow the patient throughout their stay in a healthcare facility, i.e.,from their arrival until they are discharged, registering both waiting and care times in each of theareas subject to control. However, Mentioned patient waiting time is a detriment to the

Furthermore, exposure to real-world challenges, especially when presented in anactive and practical learning environment increases both student interest and pedagogicaleffectiveness. The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in its report, “Educating theEngineer of 2020,” contends that solving the Grand Challenges will require more than justproviding students with technical training.

Strategies Responses to ECE Exam Success and FailureIntroductionIn engineering as a profession and in engineering education, failure is commonplace[1]–attempteddesigns fail, experiments fail about 90% of the time, and students do not achieve the scores theydesire on homework, quizzes, and exams. Thus, the ability to navigate and respond to failure asan opportunity for growth and learning is a key component of the scientific enterprise. However,engineering education research is sparse on how students respond to failure.Research on response to failure has been extensive in workplace settings[2, 3], in which there is avery wide range of negative and positive responses to failure, including denial, anger, bargaining,depression
