Problem-solving is 1) cognitive (i.e., it isan internal process that occurs in the person’s mind), 2) process-oriented (the manipulation ofknowledge), 3) goal-directed (i.e., the process is guided by the person’s goals), and 4) personal(dependent on the person’s skills and knowledge). According to Donald xvii, the problem-solvingprocess in engineering involves the following thinking skills: a) Breaking down complex problems to simpler ones b) Appling fundamentals to new problems

The CIMSfor Statics consist of five separate modules with each focusing on a particular set of topics taughtin the course. The titles of the five modules are as follows: Concurrent Force Systems; Non-Concurrent Force Systems; Trusses, Frames and Machines; Friction; and Geometric Propertiesof Shapes.

Thechange allows elementary students to immerse themselves in the situation better, a key of themotivation component. The intended purpose of the transfer component is to support the learnerin using the skills in other engineering situations. For younger learners to transfer engineeringpractices and skills to another situation requires engaging in multiple experiences [34].

Further, it was found that studentsin revised inclusive courses reported significantly stronger feelings of inclusion and belongingthan their peers in traditional courses. These findings suggest that systematic efforts toimplement neuroinclusive learning practices in engineering education may contribute to a senseof belonging for all students.IntroductionThe concept of neurodiversity, a term coined by sociologist Judy Singer [1], emerged asmembers of the autistic community challenged the predominant disability framing of autism andembraced the notion that diversity of minds is both

Mind the gapThe call for more design experience in engineering curricula draws attention to a problem indesign education that engineering educators have noted for quite some time. Traditionalengineering programs lack curricular coherence when it comes to design. Students typicallyhave design experiences during introductory coursework (or “cornerstone” courses2) as freshmenand then again later as seniors during capstone projects or seminars. Thus, design experiencescomprise disjointed bookends in students‟ college careers. Their sophomore and junior years aredevoted

First, it was important to design thecourse in such a way that the students could see the relevance of their previous course work byproviding an opportunity to apply that core knowledge to solving an engaging problem, andsecond, the course must teach the students some of the fundamentals of systems engineering byshowing them how to decompose complex problems into a series of manageable steps.

learning goals for pre-college engineering are stillbeing contested. One argument, which is promoted in science standards, is that engineeringdesign provides an authentic context to apply science concepts [4] [5] [6]. However, others arguethat this represents too narrow a view of engineering and promotes misconceptions [7] [8]. Inresponse to these concerns, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) andAdvancing Excellence in P12 Engineering Education introduced a Framework for P-12Engineering Learning [9]. This framework outlines learning goals for engineering literacy thatmove beyond a narrow focus on practices, including engineering habits of mind and knowledge.In addition, the authors call for further research to scaffold learning
