-engineering; (7) problem solving knowledgeis distributed among team members; (8) most problems require extensive collaboration; (9)engineers primarily rely on experiential knowledge; (10) engineering problems often encounterunanticipated problems; (11) engineers use multiple forms of problem representation; and (12)engineers recommend more communication skills in engineering curricula. These attributes ofauthentic engineering problems are important to keep in mind when designing your PBLenvironments. When designed correctly, employing an authentic “real-world” context willfacilitate workplace transfer - “the ability to generalize solution methods from one problem toanother, similar worked problem embedded in a different context” (p. 147)5.

Paper ID #8578Ms. Hines and the Sick 5th Graders -– Making hands-on outreach and learn-ing about the Environment engaging through the use of Case Stories!Mrs. Janie Gina Locklear, NC A&T I am a Senior Civil Engineering major with 5 years experience teaching elementary science. I returned to school to obtain a second degree in engineering after learning that I have a stronger passion for design and problem solving. As a teacher, I emphasized to my students daily the importance of science and en- gineering and promoted love and passion for the related work by using hands-on experience with EVERY lesson taught.
