All but fifteen students were allocated their top preferences. The fifteenstudents did not get their top preferences because their top areas were chosen by less than ten students and hencewithdrawn. Those students were provided their next priority areas.

In order to promote critical thinking, instructors should continuallyquestion students about the credibility of their solutions.Instructors need to model critical thinking about, reflecting on, and assessing the validity ofsolutions, particularly during the introduction of new materials. Students cannot be expected tomake critical judgments about something they know relatively little about.24 Instructors shouldcarefully explain their thought processes when assessing the validity of a solution. This can bedemonstrated most effectively when the instructor gets an invalid solution while working out aproblem because of an inadvertent mistake in the

Lottero-Perdue and Parry (2014) found that a majority ofteachers had an overall negative connotation of failure and that teachers were inclined to scaffoldto avoid failure. However, many of these teachers associated failure with mistakes or saw failureas a personal trait, which is not consistent with the engineering view of failure as an “essentialfeedback mechanism” (p. 3).Research questions and contributions of the current studyThe literature reviewed above suggests that failure during

]. When asked to identify experiences that influence their self-efficacyor confidence in their engineering abilities, undergraduate engineering students often cite suchchallenges and experiences, mentioning successes in their course work and the design of afunctioning device [9] [10] [11]. Similarly, engineering students refer to their understanding andlearning of course material, their own motivation, and their course-related abilities as influencingtheir self-efficacy to perform well in a given course [11]. Project-based first-year engineering courses provide mastery experiences for students andhave been shown to positively impact students’ confidence in their tinkering and engineeringskills, along with their motivation to continue

on the mechanism to evaluate the competence and positive or negative behavior,achievement goals are subdivided into approach vs. avoidance categories [27]. In the approachcategory, two commonly used goals are mastery goals and performance goals. The mastery goalfocuses on learning and understanding materials, whereas the performance goal focuses onperforming well compared to others [13]. In the avoidance approach, performance-avoidancegoals may be associated with adverse academic outcomes [34]. Also, it is noteworthy that studieshave mostly focused on three types of achievement goals, which are mastery, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance (e.g., [35], [36]).

These signals can beconsidered as “markers” within the pixel data stream. VGA synchronization core contains a frame counter that generates “two-dimensional”counting signals. The signals correspond to the x- and y-coordinates of the frame and can bedecoded to generate VGA display’s horizontal and vertical synchronization signals.

In the same way, engineering students cannot grasp the necessary knowledge andskills without the struggling process in solving homework problems [5].Almost all the publishers of the textbooks provide the solution manuals to the instructors, andunfortunately, these materials are leaked to students through the internet.
