Our university system has used these studies to prepare for the educationalneeds of this Hispanic community. Currently we have noticed a change in the admission criteriafor state universities. Some students graduating from United States’ high schools encounter roadblocks when applying for state higher education because of questions regarding citizenshipand/or residency.

materials like textbooks utilize well-structured problems,because they were considered to sufficiently prepare learners for more ill-structured and complexproblem solving tasks.These assumptions were challenged by a wide variety of researchers (see for example [14]),arguing that problems vary by nature, context, constraints, and problem solver characteristics[15,16,17]. That is, learning to solve story problems in schools does not enable graduates tosolve complex and ill-structured workplace problems. Different kinds of problems engage andrequire different cognitive processes [3].One of the recent and more influential classifications is the meta-theory of problem solving byDavid Jonassen [2,3], in which problems are mapped on multiple dimensions

It has been suggested that such an initiative may help thestudent become more passionate about the subject, create appreciation for research processand practice, improve problem-solving skills or even serve as motivation for furthereducation in graduate school1-3. Furthermore, it allows advanced students an opportunity tobe exposed to challenging and realistic engineering problems they may encounter in postgraduation work.
