Criticalthinking does not have a single agreed operational definition in engineering education. One usefuldefinition described by Ahern et al (2019) quoting Facione (1990) is: “[critical thinking] is a ‘purposeful,self-regulatory judgment which results in interpretation, analysis

”, with the ability to apply that knowledgeacross a broad range of contexts - the horizontal of the “T”, (ABET 2021; NA 2004; ASEE2013). A survey of literature in the mathematical field suggests several approaches to remedyingthis problem and aiding students in transferring knowledge. For example, the idea of revisitingand weaving fundamental mathematical concepts through the curriculum was discussed by Orton(1983). Similarly to my discussion with our mathematics faculty, thought has also been given tothe fact that while students may understand the math, they might not see how it is applied in agiven context, or the approximations and assumptions they are required to make to solve acertain problem (Rebello et al. 2007; Schoenfeld 1985

, participants felt learning how to learn could be enhanced inengineering education through encouraged inquiry. Here is where they noted the prevalence ofa minimal mindset as undergraduates, a practice that did not serve them well in theirengineering roles. Striving for excellence and going beyond the minimum were expected atwork; participants encouraged educators to expect going beyond the minimum especially as thispertains to learning beyond the required. Engineering leadership remains ill-defined (Kendall et al., 2018). Early careerengineers, however, through this study, formulated a definition based on experiences at workand previous training at school. With a well-thought-out working definition of engineeringleadership, educators and

The filaments undergo a transformation into a semi-solid state and are directed onto the platform using an extruder nozzle of varying sizes. Primarily,the extruder follows the x and y directions, guided by the g-code produced by slicing software, toexecute the printing process. Figure 2.
