Exploring Student Intuition in Response to Technology-aided Problem-solvingAbstractTechnology is an essential tool in modern engineering problem-solving. Complex calculationsare easily computed, but failure to recognize if the solution is “reasonable or ridiculous” canhave serious repercussions. As part of “engineering intuition,” getting students to assess theappropriateness of a solution is a somewhat vague, but critical
