Most importantly, the resultsof a student survey will share the students’ reflections on the modifications they made to theirprojects based on the receipt of feedback and course instruction during phase 2 of the DesignDays challenge.IntroductionEngineering design is an important aspect in STEM education [1]. Students need to have theability to integrate knowledge from several courses during their undergraduate education to learnto implement a successful design [2]. Unfortunately, engineering courses are normally taught insilos, not allowing students to visualize the complete aspects of a design [3]. Their designs arealso normally assessed based on the aspects related to the specific course

IntroductionEngineering curriculum frequently focuses on technical, analytical, and decision makingknowledge and skills, evident by the common focus of courses on math and physics principles[1]–[3]. Course problem sets and projects routinely focus on determining variables and solvingequations where there is one “right” answer [4]. However, engineering work is inherently bothtechnical and social [5], [6]. To address major problems of today’s world, engineering studentsneed to develop contextual and cultural competencies, ethical responsibility, and socialengagement knowledge and skills, as well as the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries[7]–[10].

For instructors, it can be hotly debated on the practical use for increasing learningwhile others will debate the grade inflation aspect [1, p. 27]. As for students, a much moreoptimistic view of the concept is more widely accepted since extra credit works in the benefit ofthose partaking.

We believe these results will help advance our understanding of engineer-ing students’ motivational beliefs and help instructors identify specific groups of students that mayneed additional support and assistance.1 IntroductionAs the importance of acquiring computational skills increases, there is a growing emphasis onadding more programming and data analysis courses in the undergraduate curriculum, especiallyfor engineering majors [1

According to anational survey, only 53% of high schools offer computer science courses. The scarcity of theavailability of courses at high school level results in more difficulties, and no prior computerprogramming experience. For such students the deficit in base continues to grow in college withtwo important facets: 1) such students are reluctant to pursue engineering and computing majorsand 2) these students find typical college programming courses more challenging and harder thanmany others who took programming in their high school, leaving them behind in courses.Considering

IntroductionResearch shows that cognitive functions are crucial components of mental processes and play acrucial role in our ability to perform a variety of tasks (e.g., [1], [2], [3]). In computer-aided design,cognitive functions such as perception, retention, visuospatial skills, etc. are relevant to using 2Ddrawings and 3D models in virtual reality (VR) environments. For example, the student mustrecognize and interpret a three-dimensional model from its orthogonal two-dimensionalrepresentations on a blueprint. Additionally, they must be able to store and recall information,which is essential in remembering prominent features of designs [4], which, in return, developsthe ability to recognize objects and identify their features based on visual information
