students’understanding of engineering through action rather than abstraction.Before we can recommend modifications to the teaching of engineering at the early college level,we need to find out how students currently describe what engineers do and what might havecontributed to their impressions. In our experience, simply asking them has resulted in asimplistic or abstract response. In order to elicit more thoughtful responses, we have designed astudy to begin to answer the following research questions: 1) How well do our first-year engineering students describe what engineers do? 2) How well can students communicate an understanding of what engineers do, when asked to write a brief story vs. answer a brief question?Background and Conceptual
