compelled to begin evaluating the effectiveness of the Design4Practice program. Thispaper documents our first attempts to assess student growth in a particular aspect, the confidencecomponent, of engineering problem solving as CET’s students move through theDesign4Practice curriculum.Two semesters of student data were collected using the Problem Solving Inventory (PSI), whichis a validated measure that rates one’s perception of approach and confidence with generalproblem solving. The relationship between confidence and problem solving is discussed,population trends are revealed, and the influence of instructor style is considered.Why Examine Confidence in Engineering Problem Solving?There is a growing body of education and childhood development

This typically requires quenching to sub zero temperatures to fully transform all of theremaining austenite to martensite.Although martensite can be a very hard, wear resistant, strong material, it lacks ductility,toughness and in all but low-carbon steels it is extremely brittle. Consequently, martensite mustbe reheated to a specific tempering temperature for two hours to enable parts to be used forindustrial purposes. Heat treatment reduces the internal strain in the bct structure

Would it not serve these students well if we canintroduce such creative processes earlier? The answer is an emphatic "yes." However, in thefirst half of students’ academic careers, they do not have the theory and engineering maturity totackle many problems.
