However, these solutions may not be effective in real situations, whereinfluences like stakeholder issues or ethics concerns can make a technically optimized problemuseless. In addition, instructors who fear overwhelming students (particularly first year students)or having problems that are too difficult to tackle often remove the context [11]. However,situated problems support students to contextualize their place within the learning environment[12] as well as the larger community [13], which in turn supports their identity development [9].This is particularly important for minoritized students who can better identify with being anengineering professional [14].How do

While non-abstracted problems are crucial in preparing students forprofessional practice, instructors need to consider interventions that will strengthen students' confidencein facing these challenges. Future research will focus on refining the abstraction rating tool (based on the“PRO” portion of the PROCESS rubric) for better inter-rater reliability and analyzing individuallyanswered test or quiz items to remove the effect of group work.
