Africa. According to the World Bank [2], Sub-Saharan African countriescurrently lack the engineering capacity required for developmental needs especially in areaslike manufacturing and infrastructure. It is therefore imperative to better understand howpedagogical practices may impact student self-perceptions towards innovation. As thisunderstanding is formed, best practices can be suggested to foster student problem-solvingprowess for economic development.Ashesi University in Ghana is a small, private institution, which aims to offer a moreexperiential approach than the norm.

Claris and Riley (2012) discuss this“situation normal” where engineers often possess strong logical thinking skills, but may not possess theskills or disposition to think critically about engineering problem construction and framing, powerrelations, and other social dimensions shaping engineering practice. However, recent findings of Ford etal. (2021), Lutz and Paretti (2021), and Gewirtz and Paretti (2021) suggest that recent

This approach has madethe task of delivering vital undergraduate and graduate engineering courses to distributedaudiences much easier.As this approach has permeated more curricula, distance education instructors have increasinglyassigned projects that require distance learners to work together as an element of the final coursegrade.
