Much of thisknowledge is not written down because it is tacit knowledge and so cannot be easily taught usingconventional methods. An example is assessment of normal working standards and productionfaults or defects: is the straightness of a beam acceptable for its application? Is the painting onthe cabinets done to an acceptable standard? Such standards are difficult to document and oftenonly exists in the minds of people.There has been some research on the links between what is taught in engineering institutions,what graduates learn early in their careers and what training engineers undertake while in theworkforce. For example

Based on the 2006 National Survey of RecentCollege Graduates (NSRCG), 60% of those who graduated with engineering degreesbetween 2002 and 2005 were employed in engineering positions (based on self-reportedjob type classification).4 Reasons for working in a field unrelated to one’s degreeincluded “job in highest degree field not available,” “change in professional/careerinterests,” and “pay/promotion opportunities,” keeping in mind that these are broadcategories with little visibility into what precisely happened, for example, when a job inone’s field was not available, or what about pay or promotion led a graduate to

engineering students may find it hard to perform effectively. When faced withan unfamiliar problem, many engineering students may find it difficult to employ theirdivergent thinking skills and conceptualise ideas which are different from the first idea whichcomes to mind (either through ability or unwillingness to consider other ideas), or be able toproduce ideas which use a variety of concepts to try and resolve the problem [16-18]. Thisphenomenon is known as design fixation. Results found by Nazzal [9] suggest that thedivergent thinking skills and ability of engineering students to overcome design fixation,increases between the first year and following years of study. In the interest of furtherenhancing the creativity skills of engineering students

transferable to people and settings with similar characteristics, some limitations of our study should be noted. Our study did not evaluate the experiences of majority students in the field of engineering. By consequence, and as stated in the discussion section, we do not claim the experiences analyzed in this study are limited to the URM student community. However, we recommend these results be used keeping this intended scope in mind as it is possible that these experiences are not strictly unique to the demographics and identities of our participants. Additionally, the majority (six out of eight) of our participants are underrepresented women. This intersection of oppressed identities may have influenced the experiences detailed in this study due

Central to contemporary pedagogical approaches such as problem-basedlearning and entrepreneurially minded learning is an aim to engage students in authenticexperiences which integrate technical knowledge with workplace skills connected toprofessionalism, communication, collaboration, and leadership. This aim, however, is oftendifficult to incorporate into the design of engineering curricula, which frequently separatetechnical learning from “soft skills” coursework in interpersonal, professional and technicalcommunication.

The purpose of the presentdescriptive and correlational study is to begin to document that behavior by explicitly examiningstudents’ use of text materials when problem solving. Problem solving, whether by students or professionals in the field, often requires multipleskill sets. With this mind, consider the two following engineering problems: (1) A cylindrical rod of single crystal nickel with a radius of 2 cm yields when a tensile force of 17.47 kN is applied along its length. This force is being applied in the [001] direction. Slip occurs on the (111) plane in the [ 01] direction. What is the critical resolved
