solution to acivil engineering-focused ill-structured problem over a 30-minute period. The ill-structuredproblem was developed by research team members, including faculty and graduate andundergraduate students following Jonassen’s [19] and [20] papers as a reference. The problemthat the participants were given was related to removing trash from a polluted river including thefollowing tasks: 1) an annotated drawing and description of the design of a solution, 2) a plan fortesting, 3) a list of materials needed, and 4) methodology for construction. We used concurrentverbal protocol analysis (i.e. participants thought out loud while solving the problem) todocument faculty’s problem solving process and ongoing cognitive activities [21

The Russell and Stouffer study was selected for four reasons. In 2002  The initial impact of the 1996 ABET EC2000 accreditation criteria on engineering curriculums was in the process of being documented [9]. ABET’s 2006 report on the impact of EC2000 during the period 1994-2004 indicated that improvements in student learning had occurred as a result of changes in engineering program curricula, teaching methods, faculty practices, and student experiences in the classroom [9].  ASCE had not yet published a Body of Knowledge.  Civil engineering curriculums had not yet been

All the testingtime for the students was outside the class time. To ensure that the students get the most of out oftheir hands-on experience, the experimental protocol was vetted thoroughly. The civil engineeringtechnician also assisted the students in testing. For each of the materials, the objectives was thefollowing:1) Determine whether the material is linear viscoelastic?2) Determine if time-temperature superposition is applicable?3) Develop a rheological model, and4) Explain impact of the above results in practical applications.The scope and depth of testing was discussed with

and this isthe main source they look to for information, and they also recognize the importance of using otherinformation as references in the development of an engineering design rather than creating a designin isolation. It is interesting to note, however, that resources such as design guides, standards, andother resources that a practicing engineer may look to for design guidance were not mentioned ordiscussed. This may point to an opportunity to increase students’ awareness of such resources,where to find them, and how they can be used. Theme 4.
