This research examines why undergraduate engineering students struggle with troubleshooting technical problems. By observing electrical engineering students fixing broken circuits, he aims to identify where they get stuck, compare their approaches with expert strategies, and develop classroom exercises that build practical troubleshooting skills for labs, projects and real-world engineering work.

This study demonstrates a strong relationship between social skills and academic performance among university students. Surveying 107 students, it finds that empathy, assertiveness, teamwork, and problem-solving significantly support academic success. Dynamic, technology-enhanced, and democratic teaching environments foster both intellectual and emotional development.
