In the survey, the students were asked to assess the effectiveness of each ofthe proposed modules based on 7 complementary skills extracted from KEEN pillars. Theseskills are as follows: a) Market study and investigation b) Opportunity identification c) Assessment and evaluation of solutions for technical feasibility, and societal and economic benefits d) Communicate engineering solutions in economic terms e) Collaboration and team building skills

Preliminary analysis suggeststhat students with high total time and high grades spent more time proportionally on interactiveactivities. This corresponds to the assertion of Chi’s ICAP hypothesis that participation inInteractive activities leads to better student performance over all other types of activities.The p_lo_lo and f_hi are two important groups to compare, because though the
