participate annually and performresearch in all six engineering departments at the AFIT Graduate School of Engineering andManagement. These are the departments of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Electrical andComputer Engineering, Engineering Physics, Mathematics and Statistics, Operational Sciences,and Systems Engineering and Management.First, starting in summer 2012, a formal assessment tool is now distributed to students tomeasure the impact of the research experience. Second, starting in summer 2013, students arenow provided with four career broadening programs that are informed by student survey resultsin 2012. These programs are made possible through a partnership among AFIT, the LEADER(Launching Equity in the Academy across the Dayton

SolvingAbstractWorkplace problems are different from traditional textbook or classroom problemsbecause they are ill-structured and complex in nature. Research shows that engineersneed a wide range of knowledge and skills in order to succeed in workplace problemsolving. However, it is unclear how engineering students, who will become professionalsin the workplace after graduation, experience real world engineering problem solving.Motivated by a desire to better understand engineering problems and prepare students forengineering practice, this study aims to explore students’ experiences of workplaceproblems solving. As previous research points out that educational programs such as theCo-Op program provide opportunities for students to observe and experience
