Thus, CT is embedded in engineering design, making it acritical skill for engineers in their education journey and professional practice.There are frequent discussions on effective CT development methods, model-eliciting, andsimulation activities [12]. It is also common for robotics and programming to be used as a meansfor the teaching of CT skills. Hands-on approaches appear consistently across CT researchbecause they evoke experiences that make the application of CT observable, thus making theconcept more tangible [13]. Studies have also highlighted the importance of incorporating CTinto formal and informal learning settings to enhance students’ CT skills and engagement [14].While engineering has always

, students havea tendency to rely on “old solutions over innovation and possible improvement” (p. 767). Inaddition, students felt that they were not taught to have an open mind while solving problemsand did not develop multiple solutions. The findings of the same study also revealed that whencompared to students in humanities and sciences, engineering students were the ones who hadthe most “room for creativity improvement”. Research shows that students who value creativity in engineering design tasks andbelieve that they are creative, are more likely to generate creative solutions when solving designproblems [5]. As such, in the teaching of creativity in engineering students, faculty andpractitioners play an important role. Engineering

As knowledge and skills related to each stepare developed, students can progress toward acquiring better schema for identifying and solvingproblems more efficiently.The second theory of learning, Threshold Concept Theory, can be used to explain how studentslearn the material and develop expertise in it.
