required classes. One persisting student stated the following: It’s a lot of work. But I don’t know if I can really say I dislike the work because it wouldn’t be as rewarding if there wasn’t that much work involved (Persister, Structured Interview 1). For this student, the outcomes of taking engineering courses was rewarding partly because of the hard work that he put into them. Another persisting student discussed her learning in her engineering classes: It'd be nice to take the other classes and know more. But I don't mind taking the engineering classes because I feel like I'm also learning in those. And so it’s not really too big a trade off for me. But sometimes I just kind of wish that I could get a break

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

I’ve had…complete ideas scrapped because they didn’t meet the end goal. And so it’s kind of like working jointly, and I think from my experiences, in order for it to be successful, an in-depth knowledge of your user has to come first so that you can make sure you’re designing to their specifications.

Just as engineers may build a scalemodel of a bridge to be able to test its properties more easily and then make predictionsconcerning the necessary properties of the full-size bridge, so the mind performs a similarfunction by constructing a mental model that is used to process information and makepredictions. From this foundation, Johnson-Laird went on to construct his theory of cognition.He states: “The theory of mental models is intended to explain the higher processes of
