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

: • Generate data in naturalistic settings that are chosen or intentionally designed to affirm the participants.Handling DataRelatedly, deficit views are often perpetuated when people exclusively focus on individualsrather than focusing on the ecologies in which they are embedded. For example, NAEP hasfound that African Americans performed worse than White students on measures of engineeringand technology literacy.[40] Rather than blaming individuals for this finding (e.g., by saying thatthe individual students were less motivated to study engineering) researchers can look at systemsfactors, such as the characteristics of the schools that African Americans attend, whether or notthe tasks on the engineering assessment were culturally congruent
