The qualitative method of clinical interviewing was employed for probinginto student understanding. Fifty-one undergraduate students majoring in aerospace engineeringat the Massachusetts Institute of Technology volunteered to participate in this study. Data wasanalyzed with the aim of identifying the faulty reasonings that participants invoked in theirresponse to different signals and systems problems, and the cognitive structures of reasoningresources that describe and explain the origin of these faulty reasonings. Results indicate thatthere is a consistency across student faulty reasonings related to
