strategiesintended to increase student interest, achievement and persistence in engineering are based onincreasing self-efficacy, which is a better predictor of those outcomes2,3.A logical starting point for examining this topic as it relates to community college students is toexamine the relationships between conceptual knowledge of DC circuit analysis with self-efficacy for circuit analysis. An instrument was created to measure the relationship betweenself-efficacy for and conceptual knowledge of DC circuit analysis. The instrument was a three-tiered concept-inventory that included: Tier 1: Multiple choice assessment of understanding related to a DC analysis concepts.

different forms. Dym et al.1 identified thefollowing approaches to characterize design thinking: “design thinking as divergent-convergent questioning, thinking about design systems, making design decisions, designthinking in a team environment, and language of engineering design”. According to Brown 2,some characteristics of the profile of a design thinker include “empathy, integrative thinking,optimism, experimentalism and collaboration”. The commonality between these approachesand aspects is that design skills are understood and experienced by different individualsdifferently. This may be attributed to the context of the design activities, prior knowledge ofthe learner, personally meaningful connections, and other humanistic factors.In this paper

degreesMany Universities in Europe have adapted to, or tried to adapt to an educational structure thatfacilitates exchange and mobility often referred to as the Bologna process. This structure isbased on three degree cycles: Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral [1]. The structure is sometimesreferred to as the “3-5-8”-structure, with a 3-year bachelors program, a 2-year mastersprogram and a 3-year doctoral program.In several countries in Europe, traditional engineering professional degree programs of four tosix years existed long before the ambitions to create a uniform structure emerged. In somecountries, more academic oriented programs coexisted in parallel with the professionalprograms. At the moment, various countries and educational systems have
