clearlydifferentiated, and coordinated patterns of interdependence are specified (Mohammed &Dumville, 2001). In undergraduate engineering contexts, like capstone design projects, problemsare more complex and less constrained (Howe et al., 2017). Given the complexity of designcontexts compared to the more structured contexts found in the current shared mental modelliterature, it is not yet clear if the measurement techniques used in those studies are useful.Moreover, though we might expect the findings to carry over into the design context, it is notclear if results and findings related to shared mental models found in more structured problemsettings will have the same characteristics compared to a more complex problem-solvingenvironment.2.2 Engineering

Computer occupations play a critical role in STEM.The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projected that about 600,000 or 67% of all new jobs inSTEM between 2018 and 2028 would be in computing. Average annual openings in computeroccupations during the decade were projected to be about 450,000 [2]. Although the number ofstudents who graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer and information sciences in 2016was more than 70,000

The next step is for students to put on the hat of the Chief ExecutiveOfficer and make the best holistic decision on what actions to take. This leading idea becomes theone that they will pursue for their forward archeology proposal.Throughout forward archaeology students make many discoveries.

Leifer has notedthat instructing students in the engineering design process provides an opportunity forintroducing constructivist learning experiences into engineering student classroom activities 22.He drew on Kolb’s experiential learning model which describes learning as taking place in aniterative cycle of four basic steps: reflective observation, concrete experience, activeexperimentation, and abstract conceptualization. Based on this cycle, Leifer suggests thatengineering design and technical concepts should be intertwined. In this way, students can bestlearn technical
