social engagement of their students, observation of the cognitive engagementof students proves problematic. To address this issue, Chi and Wylie developed the ICAPframework [7]. The ICAP framework intends to link the often-elusive cognitive engagement toovert, observable behaviors. Foundational to this study is the use of a survey tool based upon theICAP framework. This survey, the In-Class Cognitive Engagement (ICCE) survey has emergedfrom the development of a larger project targeting student engagement cognitively and socially[8]. Development of the ICCE survey remains ongoing. Here, we seek to discuss studentperceptions of this instrument. This research is positioned as meaningful towards the largerproject aim of measuring student engagement

Even during design experiences, neither the importance ofcreativity nor various methods to boost it is covered, leaving students mostly on their own for alimited duration for “brainstorming”. However, creativity and originality are among the mostsignificant skills employers want today; and they are also projected to be in demand in years tocome (see Figure 1).Figure 1. A Comparison on Skills Demand – 2018 vs. 2022 (The Future of Jobs Report, 2018,pp.12 [4])To a certain extent, this rather ad hoc approach to creativity is due to a lack of knowledge on thecognitive and neural mechanisms underlying divergent thinking, and creative ideation moregenerally.

Estimation specifically allowsentrepreneurs to make quick inexpensive decisions, which would otherwise cost time andresources. This paper shares research work that involves various, example-based estimationmethods that are useful in engineering. The methods provide rough predictions of expectedoutcome, allowing students to intelligently guess a reasonable range of expected outcomes, givenbasic raw data within its necessary parameters.
