As the ICAP theory suggests, cognitive engagement is influencedby the environment in which student learning takes place. Despite educators developingcurriculum (i.e. homework, projects, writing assignments, etc.) to influence student’s out-of-classenvironment, cognitive engagement outside the classroom is rarely addressed in the literature onSTEM students. One of the unique contributions of our instrument is the measurement of cognitiveengagement in two distinct environments: inside the classroom and outside the classroom.

The CTSS course is typically prerequisite to other ECEcourses, such as digital signal processing, control systems, and communication systems.

[13] concluded that instructors prefer computer-based technologies since they allow not only to replicate the real experiments, but also toexplore "what-if" scenarios. To that end, many scholars investigated the use of simulation-based instructional materials. For example, Montevechi et al. [14] examined the use ofdiscrete event simulation and how it can be used to increase students' understanding of thereal systems in conceptual models, where Lego Mindstorms' robot application was used asan example for the project.
