I should include a section on best practices for using solutions. Like, encouraging students to attempt problems first before checking the solutions, and using them to understand areas where they're struggling. Maybe add some educational theories that support active learning through problem-solving, contrasting with passive consumption of solutions.
Make sure the tone is academic, but accessible. Avoid jargon where possible, but since it's for an engineering audience, some technical terms are okay. Use references to academic sources to back up claims, maybe cite some educational studies or papers about the effectiveness of solution manuals. I should include a section on best practices
Need to make sure that I address both sides – the utility of having access to solutions for learning, but also the potential pitfalls. Stress that solutions are a tool, not a substitute for engagement with the material. Make sure the tone is academic, but accessible
