We then take the natural next step by proposing to test thehypothesis that problem-solving in design under constraint is a transferrable skill with thepotential to augment engineering students’ problem-solving ability if practiced in multipledomains rather than only (and seldom) in the engineering domain.The literature review presented here is intended to form the basis for a long-term pedagogicalstudy on the impact of substantive and progressive engagement in an art practice on students’problem-solving

Withoutthe knowledge of the best-practices in education and how people learn, the university faculty willnot be able to design an ideal learning environment for their students. It is no surprise thatmajority of the students, particularly women, drop the STEM fields early in their careers in thecollege.

framework members is discipline-dependent, the construction of the argumentis field- invariant. When using argumentation in a classroom environment, the instructor plays animportant role by helping the student understand theories and principles, but the instructor is notthe authority to explaining why a principle makes sense for solving a problem. Table 2 providesexamples of the appropriate questions and actions that teachers can use to develop the student’scognitive skills via argumentation. Through the lens of engineering practice, an argumentation-based framework (Table 1) is used to support the rational decisions that design teams make whenanalyzing, deliberating and compromising on the solution to an engineering problem (Jin andGeslin, 2009
