The primary purpose of thisresearch is to determine if and to what extent written reflection plays a role in adjustingcommonly-held misconceptions students have about heat and mass transfer. To study this, three30-minute prediction activities were planned throughout a ten-week course. The studyparticipants included two sections of a course with

Whensolving complex problems, CT helps with understanding complex phenomenon throughcombining the critical thinking skills and the fundamental concepts of computer science likeabstraction, decomposition and algorithm [7], [9], [11]. Therefore, engaging students in CTthrough the context of engineering education can promote problem-solving skills, and may helpstudents find innovative solutions and make good decisions [7].Wing [11] argues that CT is a core ability for reading, writing and math and should be added toanalytical ability of children.

For example, Sara described an engineer with the following words: I feel like she would try any material she thinks would work. She would also test it out a lot. She would write a lot of notes, so when other people look at her experiments or when she tries to show it to someone, she could show she did trial and error. And be like “This is why this is the best one I did, this is why I think it’s a better material to use.”Sara changed her perception of engineering as being male-oriented to a field were females arealso active participants. Her perception of engineering included activities where women
