The second problem contains two bridge-puzzles, one easy and the other of mediumdifficulty; please see Figure 1 (b) for example. The puzzle rules are (a) to connect each island,which is represented as a circle, with the number of bridges shown inside the circle; (b) there canonly be two bridges connecting two islands; (c) a bridge must not overlap with other bridges orislands; and (d) there must be continuous link between all islands, which means there cannot beisolated island.

Curriculum (SEC).Goals and MethodsWe hypothesized that the long-term survival and success of the SEC can be traced to the generalframework presented in its foundational course, ES201, its positive influence on the facultymembers who have taught (and are teaching) the course, and the fact that faculty members enjoyteaching the foundational course. To test our hypothesis, we designed a simple survey to collectresponses from the faculty members who have taught the course about their reactions to and ex-periences in teaching ES201. Questions in this survey included a) Do you like teaching ES201? Why or Why not? b) How has teaching ES201 influenced the way you teach other courses? c) What do you believe to be the strengths and weaknesses of

Bandura has identified four sources that contribute to enhancingthe perception of self-efficacy: (a) enactive mastery experiences (actual performances); (b)observation of others (vicarious experiences); (c) social persuasion, both verbal and otherwise; and(d) ‘physiological and affective states from which people partly judge their capableness, strength,and vulnerability to dysfunction’ [9-10].An important aspect of self-efficacy is that it relates to judgment of one's capabilities in a particulardomain [11].

Most students in the course had prior experience with truss analysis, so thisactivity proved to be an effective vehicle for them to observe basic concepts in uncertainty.
