prepareengineering students for their future professional career and to foster and develop theaforementioned skills and qualities, fundamental aspects of the engineering curriculum should betaken into consideration. It can be argued that the primary skill needed by engineers throughout their professionalcareer is the ability to solve problems. Engineers, by definition, regularly tackle complex problemsand attempt to find the best solutions to those given problems with the resources available to them.However, throughout a student’s studies in undergraduate engineering courses, they are mostfrequently asked to solve well-structured problems. In university settings, engineering students areusually asked to solve well-structured problems as part of their

Even if interventions such as the one in this studydon’t affect all students’ mindsets, there are still many students for whom learning about growthmindset will make a difference.
