New studies add more details to the growing amount ofinformation demonstrating the need to improve the way STEM subjects are taught inschools [13-17].As a result of these obvious needs, a new program has been developed to help prepareparticipants for STEM careers by enhancing various mental skills. The focus on spatialskills was expanded to 3D visualization, analytical abilities, and pattern recognition.

Sociologist Erin Cech has famously shown how engineeringeducation’s privileging of technical content and bounding of students’ aspirations surroundingsocial impact produces a “culture of disengagement” among engineering students [5]. Othercritics have explored various sociopolitical forces shaping engineering education—even as therole of those forces has been stripped from most observers’ imagination

Intuitiondevelops in engineering learners and is often reflected in the speed, automaticity, andengagement of information when problem-solving. Humans have a visual intuition for materialsand structures we interact with on day-to-day basis and an intuition for shapes and materials thathelps to negate flawed designs[2].

Ithas been long believed that too few undergraduates are recruited and retained in STEM programsto meet the nations need. It was historically thought that the first two years of college are themost critical to the retention and recruitment of STEM majors [3]. However, in recent years, aconsensus among scholars has emerged that efforts to recruit and retain students into STEMfields should begin as early as primary (e.g. elementary or middle) school.

Specifically, inengineering courses that are heavy on problem-solving, the use of multiple-choice tests still happenas they are a route to offer quick, quantifiable results about something in that course. However,exactly what that something is and what the results represent has been debated for many years.Engineering has used multiple-choice tests in a variety of contexts. These include conceptinventory tests, course exams, and diagnostic testing.
