Our working definition of complexproblem solving is “[When] solving occurs to overcome barriers desired between a given stateand a goal state, by means of behavioral and/or cognitive, multistep activities” (Jonassen, 2017,p. 28). This paper will describe the complex problems faced by engineers and the tools that areused to solve these complex problems. The common problems will be determined by comparingand contrasting the

The course was a general course about energy, and covered issues involving energyassociated with transportation, electricity generation, and building systems. The paper discussesfinding the appropriate level of coverage of the subject material, the challenges and opportunitieswith teaching in a seminar-style format, and setting appropriate expectations for upper-levelstudents from a variety of non-engineering disciplines. The paper also includes lessons learnedfrom the course so as to improve the course in future offerings.IntroductionIn recent years, there has been recognition that increasing the technological literacy of thegeneral populace
