As we prepare the engineers of tomorrow, it is crucial to instill a holistic understanding ofsustainability and the economic and environmental implications of their designs.

Intuition broadly is developed through experience and used byindividuals with a high level of domain expertise to solve problems and make decisions withinthat domain (Dreyfus & Dreyfus, 1980), making it of great interest in engineering problemsolving. The overarching goal of this research project is to characterize how intuition emerges inproblem solving across new (zero to one years of experience) and mid-career (six to ten years ofexperience) engineering practitioners. Additionally, we seek to identify how the application ofintuition varies when approaching “ill” versus “well” structured engineering problems and theeffects of problem-expertise domain alignment.
