The essential and unique point is that learners s must pose, clarify, and define problems,not simply solve them.And, at the same time, learners should practice metacognitive skills such as reflecting on how theyare building these schemes.

We aim todetermine if engineering students or students who are interested in engineering can get earlyexposure to the discipline via course(s) offered in college of engineering. Therefore, we countany engineering course available in the first term as an introductory engineering course. Theseintroductory courses include such diverse courses as “Introduction to Visualization and CAD,”“Introduction to Mechanical Engineering,” “Engineering Projects and Design,” and simply“Introduction to
