Perhaps the Internet is toblame for the subsequent proliferation of the STATEMENT.

However, while engineering students aregenerally given a great deal of direction and instruction in the technical aspects of their work,they are often thrown into teams without ample guidance to lead them through the complexitiesof team dynamics. These experiences often do not prepare students for the obstacles thatmultidisciplinary teams meet in industry, research and academia. Good team skills are notlearned merely by placing students in teams 2.The technical problems faced by engineering graduates are complex and often

engineering design that include identifying the needs of newdevelopments, conceiving solutions to those needs and delivering the solutions within theapplicable constraints. With rapid onset of new technologies and fields of study in engineering,the engineering education also needs to keep up with effective teaching of application,adaptation and creation of mathematical models. An important measure of effectiveness ofengineering education is the determination of self-efficacy of students. Engineering self-efficacyrefers to a student’s personal perception that they can successfully steer through the engineeringcurriculum and become practicing engineers. An important question is how to measure personalperception of engineering students' self-efficacy

The Logic ModelThe ProjBL activities follow a three-phase pedagogical approach in the course: 1) ConceptualPhase (Learning): the students are first introduced to data science fundamentals and features ofsample datasets. Then the students are exposed to the Python programming and softwaredevelopment tools such as Microsoft Azure [19] and Google Colab. 2) Experimentation Phase(Practice): The students are given the opportunity to implement and employ one data sciencealgorithm to process one small scale sample dataset. The students are required to vary theparameters and observe the results. 3) Application Phase (Evaluation): The

They must practice problemforming as well as solving. They must be able to design and to realize products. To be successful,engineers will need to have facility with intelligent technology to enhance creative opportunity.They will also need the ability to manage complexity and uncertainty, to function as productivemembers of teams, and to be sensitive in and to interpersonal relationships. The emphasis inengineering education programs must shift from a dedication to course content to a morecomprehensive view. It must focus on the
