A variety of participants were involved (n=80), comprised of 15 female students and65 male students. Of the total sample, 56% are classified as computer science majors and44% non-computer science majors. Approximately half of the class was sophomores(51.2%), while 22.5% were seniors, 17.5% were juniors, and 8.8% were freshmen.

So, I think that’s the most - that is, Ithink, something influenced me most.

undergraduate engineering courses, principally in the following ways: a. Close-Ended versus Open-Ended Problems: The capstone experience should by design be structured so that students deal with an open-ended design problem. b. Unique Answers versus Multiple Solutions: Solutions to problems in core courses of the engineering curriculum are unique, i.e., permitting a single correct answer, with the solution typically found in the instructor manual. In contrast, by its natural variance, the design process of the Capstone admits multiple possible solutions. c. Individual Work versus Teamwork: Core courses typically require individual effort by students on all assignments, laboratory projects

Examine what they need to do, how they are going to do it, what they will need to accomplish it, and then define what success looks like.

The three models can help students better understandthe engineering problem solving format and make sense of the efforts of their educationalexperience in college. Ideally, each engineering graduate has developed an appreciation andrespect for reality, and mental models that intuitively understand how the world works, and theengineering/math models to quantitatively predict outcomes consistent with both their mentalmodel and reality.References[1] R.
