Therefore, here we consider just thefirst 19-minute subset of the data from Atman et al.’s (2007) study. In their first 19 minutes withthe playground design problem, the expert engineers spent a substantial amount of time ongenerating ideas and analyzing their feasibility. They also transitioned often to the activity ofinformation gathering, and spent as much time gathering facts and data as they did generatingideas or defining the problem. In fact, most of their instances of information gathering appear tostem from or lead to problem definition efforts. The expert engineers

Gender is aperformance; it is what someone does, not who s/he is.12There is a societal position that supposes several irrefutable concepts regarding gender, includingthe beliefs that there are two genders (masculine and feminine) and biological sex organsdetermine gender.13 Dividing society into the binary

The developmental advising stylecontrasts with prescriptive advising in that it is interactive and focuses on the growth anddevelopment needs of the student, and is based on student development theory.The 70’s saw much significant research into student development theory, giving rise to theconcept that higher education personnel should support students as they developed into adults.Student development theories include psychosocial-identity formation theories such as the workof Chickering 18, cognitive development theories, including the work of Kohlberg 19, and

Statics is a “threshold concept” in engineering in that mastery ofthis area can serve as a “conceptual gateway” that opens up “previously inaccessible way(s) ofthinking about something” [1]. However, many statics courses have a high failure rate, and manystudents who pass still have difficulty conceptualizing important topics and may have trouble infollow-up courses [2-4].
