Successfulstudents will be able to do the following: produce engineering drawings and models both byhand and using the SolidWorks CAD package, visualize objects in three dimensions, work inteams to perform various elements of engineering design, and demonstrate effective technicalcommunication skills. In the syllabus, “Engineering design is more than just tinkering; it isthe logical application of scientific principles to a tangible design. It involves creativity,dedication, thought, research, ingenuity, and work. It may well be your first experience in"real world" engineering.” are put special emphasis. According to the topics

prepareengineering students for their future professional career and to foster and develop theaforementioned skills and qualities, fundamental aspects of the engineering curriculum should betaken into consideration. It can be argued that the primary skill needed by engineers throughout their professionalcareer is the ability to solve problems. Engineers, by definition, regularly tackle complex problemsand attempt to find the best solutions to those given problems with the resources available to them.However, throughout a student’s studies in undergraduate engineering courses, they are mostfrequently asked to solve well-structured problems. In university settings, engineering students areusually asked to solve well-structured problems as part of their

Even if interventions such as the one in this studydon’t affect all students’ mindsets, there are still many students for whom learning about growthmindset will make a difference.
