Moreover, “measurement is oftenconceived as a mundane activity, and in school it typically arrives pre-formed” [3, p. 723],reducing opportunities for students to confront real situations involving measurement processes.Particularly, first-year engineering students face limited opportunities to encounter real-worldsituations because they are often perceived to have limited experience with the nature ofengineering work [4]. The way in which STEM fields are taught is relevant and they must go“beyond traditional lecture and laboratory instruction, by incorporating rich integrated STEMlearning opportunities” [5, p. 10].
