Abstract

The problem solving skills of engineering students can be developed at an early stage by evaluating their quantitative problem solving behavior in core pre-engineering courses such as physics. This approach, when integrated with computer-based tutorial, will help engineering students develop more effective problem solving strategies by allowing them to learn from previous errors.
