and competencies they are acquiring in their programs [4].Transfer of knowledge can occur in a classroom setting when students are solving real worldproblems, however, that is not always possible. Hence, students try to find contextualized workscenarios such as internships or co-ops, where they can be involved in a real project in acompany. This particular setting provides students with an understanding of the workenvironment and also brings benefits to industry and universities [5]. On one hand, industrydemands an integral formation of individuals that are competent in technical skills in their areaof discipline, but with elements that enable them socially, ethically and professionally. On theother hand, society requires answers to its

FIR is a 24/7 faculty resource for undergraduateengineering students. The EIRC which will be examined in this project is located at Boise StateUniversity in Idaho. The EIRC is about 34% female and 66% male, and the distribution of themajors closely mirrors the college of engineering’s statistics. The researchers hypothesize thatstudents who live in the EIRC benefit greatly from being a part of the social/academiccommunity.The EIRC provides many resources to help students adjust to college and get involved oncampus. All participants are required to take a course together taught by the FIR, and they meetonce a week for the entire year.

. Another issue is that ambiguityhas only been identified as a structural element of the problem, ignoring how problem solversmay experience ambiguity differently in the same problem. Without a better understanding ofambiguity in problem solving, it is difficult to develop educational approaches that will teachstudents how to deal with ambiguity.The goal of this project is to understand the different ways that students and practicing engineersexperience ambiguity during problem solving. We aim to interview 20-30 senior civilengineering students and 20-30 practicing civil engineers on their experiences of ambiguity.Interviews will be conducted using artifact elicitation, in which each participant will bring aproblem they have encountered which they
