Thisparticular discussion has highlighted the ongoing mental health crisis in students at manyuniversities and colleges in the United States [1]. As a whole, college-aged individuals are proneto mental disorders [2]. The effect of said struggles on college students is emphasized uponreturning to school and disrupts these individuals' educational paths [3]. This phenomenon canbe attributed to factors such as financial difficulties, relationship difficulties, concerns

The available research indicates that competency-based learning is ideal to support weaker students while maintaining rigor. It allows them to moveat their own pace and be more successful and confident as they gain a higher level of understandingin the required topics [1], [2].This paper utilizes quantitative and qualitative methods to show whether competency-basedlearning generates positive results in achievements and learning, and to understand whetherstudents positively reacted to mastery learning.

Due to varying needs and degrees of expertiseneeded, specializations and disciplines within the field began to emerge. The formation of civilengineering, often considered the first engineering discipline, occurred during the perfect stormof rapid growth in the electrical, steel, and chemical industries and the increasing number ofinstitutions specializing in industrial arts [1].

The educational philosophybehind Computational Thinking is that problems in every discipline can be solved by the tools ofcomputation such as algorithmic thinking, decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition. Forinstance, one of the pillars of computational thinking is algorithmic thinking

Calls for change in engineering education: Enabling change agentsCalls for change in engineering education has constantly been shaped by “changing times and paradigms”(Felder, 2004, p. 32). The context within which engineering graduates are educated, and are expected tocontribute in the workplace, has always been a dominant factor in frameworks for calls for change(Jamieson & Lohmann, 2009). Characteristics of the context such as the influence of the global economy,the knowledge-based economy, changing demographics, increased integration among engineeringdisciplines and environmental factors are just some

Traditional teaching methods ina classroom environment may not provide these experiences. Hands-on discovery activities(HODAs), as a potential substitute for real-life experiences, may provide students an opportunityto enhance CST learning in the classroom [2]. By leading and participating in hands-ondiscovery activities in class, students may experience the CST principles they were exposed to inlectures and case studies. One key principle of this CST course design is that the lectures andstructured hands-on activities should reinforce each other.This paper presents

Furthermore, instructors must look to other mediums for feedback on thelearning experience than the standard look across the room at students’ faces [2].

?Cognitive Load TheoryCognitive Load Theory (CLT) characterizes learning as assimilation of knowledge into one’slong-term memory. However, it is our short-term (working) memory that first processesinformation. If the cognitive load (or mental effort) associated with a task exceeds short-termprocessing capacity, then learning cannot occur [1, 2]. Three sources of cognitive load canimpact learners [1-4]. Intrinsic cognitive load is the effort required to learn a specific topic. Forexample, the mental effort required to learn in an introductory engineering course may be lowerthan that required to learn in an engineering science or design-based course. Extraneouscognitive load is experienced based on inappropriate methods or excess information that
