Developing Critical Thinking and Reflection Skills in the Classroom

Critical thinking skills are invaluable for tomorrow’s engineers, and can be applied to numerous situations in the workplace that require problem-solving and reflection. This webinar, facilitated by Mani Mina (Iowa State University), John Krupczak (Hope College), Jennifer Turns, Cindy Atman, and Giovanna Scalone (University of Washington), explores an in-class activity that promotes critical thinking and students’ ability to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a socio-technical context and provides an overview of the activities and exercises that are most conducive to building critical thinking and reflection skills. This webinar is part of a three-part series inspired by the TUEE Phase II project and report.
