., University of Florida Dennis Parnell Jr. is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Engineering Education at the University of Florida. His research focuses on understanding and improving underrepresented student retention and persistence in engineering. For his doctoral research, Dennis is leveraging emerging learning technolo- gies to broaden participation in engineering by exposing students to semiconductor fabrication processes. Much of his work involves designing and assessing interventions for extra- and co-curricular activities for students throughout the educational ecosystem. He is also a member of the ASEE CDEI Spotlight Team. Dennis holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering from The University of Alabama and a

To a certain extent this is due to a lack in knowledge on the cognitive and neuralmechanisms underlying divergent thinking, and creative ideation more generally. Wehypothesize that we can help enhance our students’ divergent thinking and creative processingoutcomes by investigating the impacts of carefully selected methods and tools enabled bydevelopments in the robust analysis of engineering ideation

Although a coreactivity of engineering is being able to solve complex problems efficiently and effectively, mostengineering problems contain ambiguous elements. Engineers that are confident handlingambiguity are needed to solve real-world problems. Within the literature, engineering problemsare typically characterized as either well-structured or ill-structured. Ambiguity, if it ismentioned at all in the problem characterization, goes undefined
