Just a few weeks into your job, your supervisor asks you to use an existing computational model to identify the best potential drug targets within a metabolic network. Rate your current confidence level at accomplishing this task on a scale of 1-5 (5 being “extremely high confidence”). 2.

[30].Teaching Critical Thinking in Undergraduate Engineering EducationSeveral literature reviews on critical thinking interventions in undergraduate engineeringeducation have been conducted in recent years and reveal that, while various pedagogicalapproaches to teaching critical thinking exist (e.g. reflective writing and supplementaldiscussions), project-based learning appears to be the most studied [29], [30], [41], [42].

The integration of CT and engineering design (ED) can foster students' learningduring these experiences (e.g., [38]–[41]). However, there is a need for further research about thebest ways to integrate CT and ED in undergraduate STEM courses and to examine how studentsdevelop these skills within multidisciplinary STEM contexts [20], [21].

The need to belong and affiliatewith others is a fundamental motivation, and this motivation influences various interpersonalbehaviors [17]. Research conducted with elementary students has suggested that sense ofschool belonging is the most impactful contextual variable on classroom achievement, andbelonging is positively correlated with academic self-efficacy [18].
