Other factorsare more influential. For example, their studies

The engineering design process (EDP) is a cyclical method that students follow tocollectively build a solution to a problem (Gruber-Hine, 2018).Engineering in preschool: Engineering, as represented by the cyclical EDP, is defined bya number of qualities including brainstorming and sharing ideas, asking and answeringquestions while planning, creating, and testing a product, sharing materials,demonstrations, explanations, and most importantly, peer collaboration throughout theprocess. The benefits of student interactions during collaboration include strengtheningstudents’ peer-related social skills while also advancing knowledge construction(Wiedmann, 2015).

To measure this, we plan to survey both instructors and theirstudents, before and after the workshop. To prepare for our RCT, we developed surveyinstruments, assessed pilot offerings of our workshop, and investigated student resistance toactive learning in classes of workshop participants.

Often semester courses are planned to meet demand from the study regulation and will at the same time support the problem solving process the students have chosen for their project. It is crucial that the problem serves as the basis for the learning process because it will determines the direction of the learning process as well as a problem places emphasis on a question rather than an answer.
