Ourfirst-year engineering design course at a research institution in the southeastern United Statesalready includes practice in certain professional skills, such as ethics and integrity, teamwork andtechnical communication. It is evident that reflective judgment is another important professionalskill that should be initiated early in the engineering curriculum, both for solving ill-structuredproblems and for retaining knowledge.Our research question is as follows:  How well do first year students develop higher level thinking skills through

In addition, Watkins and her colleagues [19] provided evidence of fourth gradersengaging in three phases of problem scoping as naming, setting the context and reflecting.Finally, Haluschak and her colleagues [22] investigated problem scoping in young children (K-2grade) during an implementation of a STEM+C+Literacy curriculum. They found that childrencan participate in meaningful problem scoping in all three phases mentioned by Watkins and hercolleagues [19, 22].While these previous studies provided evidence that children in different elementary grade levelsare capable of engaging in problem scoping

They should share the work load equitably and share the credit;  Accountability- Students should be accountable individually & as a group.

The students also havefamily, financial or health challenges that may prevent them from continuing their participation.For example, a student’s lack of research experience can lead to underestimating the time requiredfor a project, resulting in missed deadlines and at times, creating real conflicts with students’classes, family commitments, and outside employment. Research projects can have a negativeimpact on a student’s GPA if they are not properly advised and projects are not effectivelymanaged.

Unfortunately, little has been done to examine the multivariaterelationship among instructional strategies, active and interactive learning, and studentengagement in post-secondary engineering energy science courses.

Since study abroad is rarely required as part of theundergraduate curriculum, they are more likely to decline the opportunity even in the presence ofother incentives [11], [6].
