Establishing appropriate context is important; forexample, discussing the application of the Luhn Algorithm for detecting single-digit errors withcredit card data entry will not resonate with students too young to be in possession of a creditcard. Additional motivation can result when students encounter problems posed in the context ofout-of-school interests, as such word problems contain sufficient context personalization toconnect to real-world experiences [19]. Taking into consideration real-world experiences whencrafting word problems constitutes exercises in modeling, where students are expected to developan abstract formal structure grounded in aspects of reality.

Thus, structural mechanics focuseson understanding physical laws that govern solid objects' behavior and applying these principlesto analyze and predict the response of materials and structures under various loads. That is,while SoS and structural mechanics are concerned with the behavior of systems, the formerfocuses on the overall design, management, and implementation of complex systems.

While there are a variety of formulae and procedural ideas to be learnedand understood, it is also important to develop conceptual understanding of key course ideas.Active learning supports students’ performance in the STEM disciplines as compared totraditional lecture [1], particularly for students from historically marginalized groups [2], and cansupport the development of conceptual understanding.

Engineering science courses typically assign closed endedproblems which have one answer and one method of finding a solution, and are expected to becompleted individually, in contrast to the open endedness of real world problems which aresolved through collaboration and fusion of engineering judgment and conceptual knowledge tocreate a solution, rather than find the “accepted” one.
