  • In engineering education, puzzle solving has been used long time ago to develop critical thinking skills. It has been proposed to use Jigsaw Puzzles in an undergraduate course of electrical engineering for two main purposes: (1) Introduce the concept of complex systems, and (2) Justify the need for a methodological approach in a course of Digital Systems Design. This activity has been carried out the first week of class and it was designed to be conducted in three progressive stages. In each stage, difficulty level increases.
