The experience of the last two semesters suggests that teaching small groups ofstudents detailed methods of access to the computer systems diffuse information among thestudents more rapidly than imparting the information to the whole class in a formal setting. Thestudents learn more quickly in informal settings in which they are able to communicate directlywith their peers. Research by Roberts et al also suggest that of the critical variables for produc-tive learning, “the most important is the faculty’s pedagogical style in their direct teaching andthe student interest in the subject. The faculty must be sensitive to both the need to empowerstudents exploration by providing them with the

American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Developing and Assessing Authentic Problem-Solving Skills in High School Pre-Engineering StudentsIntroductionCritical thinking and problem solving (CT and PS) skills involved in solving authentic (real-world) problems are desirable for engineering students and practitioners. CT and PS go hand-in-hand, where achieving the end-goal or solving the problem requires decision-making aboutdisciplinary content to be used, discarding irrelevant information, devising a strategy andevaluating progress [1]. Among other reasons for students’ failure to persist in college STEMprograms, researchers [2] note that students’ lack the depth of knowledge, skills, and habits inproblem

facilitators for change.There are several challenge areas for any curriculum change. They are:• Any significant redesign of curriculum offerings requires the coordination and consensus ofmany faculty members, and crosses different departmental and college boundaries. At the sametime, faculty members already have substantial workloads in research and teaching.• The current university reward system does not encourage efforts in curriculum redesign.Faculty members are rewarded for individual achievements within the university and the academiccommunity in the broadest sense. Within the university, faculty are rewarded for the number ofpublications, the number of graduate students advised, and the amount of funded researchobtained. This is the primary

huge number of staff elements involved as well as older students (over 90 people)and student time constraints coming from Bologna process are the main reasons for itbeing impossible to design FEUP Project as one semester long with a more significantnumber of ECTS. Following up the effect of this work it also has not such a strongeffect as expected in the students’ performance in writing, oral and visualcommunication skills. And a reason for this is related with the fact that just only in finalyears students are asked to show these skills. This aspect is also difficult to overcomebecause this would need the collaboration of all teaching staff at FEUP immediatelyafter this effort of students’ initiation in good practices.iJUP – Young Research at

[31].A 1996 work by Lee [32] concluded that U.S. academics in the 1990s were more favorablydisposed than in the 1980s toward closer university-industry collaboration, but were concernedabout the impact of close university-industry cooperation, which was viewed as likely tointerfere with academic freedom—the freedom to pursue long-term, disinterested, fundamentalresearch. The findings indicated the challenge to creating the right balance between these twocompeting concerns.

Another major challenge students met in the workplace was tocommunicate with clients. Those findings indicate that engineering educators need to betterprepare students with knowledge and skills for workplace engineering. Students also indicatedthat the Co-Op experience helped them develop better engineering knowledge and skills, suchas knowledge of industrial standards, communication skills, which confirms findings fromprevious research that cooperative education is a
