Higher education was a vehicle in which Icould make my family proud while pursuing my professional goals. In my undergraduate career Iattended a PWI and at the graduate level I attended a HSI where both universities weregeographically located in predominantly Caribbean populations. In each space my racial makeupwas never the leading demographic of the institution. Thus, my personal expectations of howthese universities would serve and represent me was low.

. RationaleThere has been a common understanding that novice instructors (first-career teachers) who teachfundamental engineering concepts tend to explore and try different ways of teaching more thanthose who have accumulated years of teaching experience to facilitate student learning effectively[1]. Part of this exploration has been to adapt and use existing conceptual assessment instruments.However, the context in which the concepts are situated within the engineering area of expertiseis often varied in terms of how abstract or clear they are for students, posing another layer ofdifficulty for novice instructors [2]. As much as it is crucial to examine inaccuracies in students’ 1understanding of these

canbe used to answer many different research questions, e.g. are there differences in outcomesbetween traditional heat transfer courses and heat transfer courses that focus on developingproblem solving skills? It can also be used as an assessment tool for various engineeringdepartments to decide whether their undergraduate programs are adequately preparing studentsfor the workplace. Improving our ability to measure problem-solving is an important step in beingable to improve the way we teach problem-solving to undergraduate students and prepare themfor engineering careers. We hope to encourage other educators to use this assessment in theircourses to measure how well they are preparing their students to solve real-world

necessaryto allow for a transfer of their knowledge. Through this dilemma, the McMaster Problem Solving(MPS) program was created. The MPS was set up in 1982 and is still implemented by McMasterUniversity to date. The MPS program identified 37 general problem-solving skills that needed tobe developed to make effective problem solvers. They created 4 necessary courses, one duringthe sophomore year, two in the junior year, and the fourth in the senior year—importantly, thisdesign allowed for the continued development of problem-solving skills throughout a student’seducational career.
