Islands. The NCEES Strategic Plan describes several issues that representchallenges to maintaining an effective licensure process. The document, which is periodicallyupdated by the board of directors, specifies goals associated with each of the issues and describesstrategies for achieving these goals [NCEES, 2012]. Vision The vision of NCEES is to provide leadership in professional licensure of engineers and surveyors through excellence in uniform laws, licensing standards, and professional ethics for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare and to shape the future of professional licensure. Mission The mission of NCEES is to advance licensure for engineers and surveyors in order to

, with the hope that students will model the physics of the problem situation, identify economic and ethical constraints, and find ways to base decisions on quantitative analysis. These types of problems have helped students understand the nature of engineering problems and decisions. However, by themselves, they do not show students the process of transferring basic theory to engineering practice and incorporating it into the “making-of-meaning” required for addressing engineering design problems2, 3.In this paper, it is proposed to augment these problems by asking the students (and instructor) toengage in problem posing and problem structuring. The goal is to suggest methods in concordancewith
