teaching and learning method was changed to CPBL. As shownin Figure 4, nearly 66% of the class received A and A-, and the percentage of failure (D andbelow) was less than 5%. The average final grade was an A-, while the average grade for thewritten final examination was a B+ and the average grade for the overall final examination(written + final problem) was also a B+. The slightly lower average of the final examinationmarks compared to the overall grade is understandable, since some students tend to panic andwere not really able to perform well in examination halls. Although the coursework assessmentwas worth 50% (of which 15% was for two written tests) as given in Table 3, significant learningoccurred while students complete the assessment tasks

for The Royal Academy of Engineering, UK (2006) 1, the paceof change in industry is expected to intensify in both the technological and non-technologicaldomains. Certain disciplines, including electrical/electronic and system engineering are seen asparticular likely to be of increasing importance over the next ten years. Looking at particularskills and attributes needed for engineers, there is strong evidence that the top priorities in termsof future skills will be: (a) practical applications, (b) theoretical understanding and (c) creativityand innovation.

mates. During the first iteration, almost all students expressed their satisfaction with thegrade they got in the course. A straight grading scale was used: 85 to 100= A, 75 to 84.99 = B,65 to 74.99 = C, and 55 to 64.99 = D. The use of a straight scale reduced competitiveness andhelped convince many that there is no penalty for helping each other.4) Difficulties that have arisen: Some of the challenges that have characterized the experience,and worthy of mentioning, were: i) English language-related issues: English was a secondlanguage to all students in the course. Therefore, instructor’ understanding, patience, and supportin overcoming students’ deficiencies in oral and written English, was required and appreciatedby all. ii) Lack of courage

Forexample, if researchers know that falsification and fabrication are the most common types ofresearch misconduct and they know that people are more likely to act unethically when in agroup situation, they are more likely to move to level-2 when they are in a group situation whendealing with unwanted experimental results. This is similar to students moving to level-2 whenfaced with an abstract conditional statement (If A, then B). In addition, learning aboutsituationism may motivate students to take Doris’s advice and try to avoid putting themselves inethically challenging situations (Doris, 1998). For example, researchers
