In both the United States and the United Kingdom a doctorate is the usual qualification forteaching engineering at the university level, not the Professional Engineer (USA) or the Chartered Engineer (UK)qualification. Thus many candidates for university teaching are newly qualified PhD’s without any experience ofengineering in the outside world. The PhD serves as a “standard” that qualifies a person to undertake research. Since aPhD is not a guarantee that a faculty member can teach or has been trained to teach, in one aspect of their careers manyengineering

Jonassen11 identified troubleshooting and diagnosis as “among the most commontypes of problem solving,” and trial and error as one of five global strategies commonly used inthe troubleshooting process. Jonassen further described the trial and error as “randomlyattack[ing] any section of the system where the possible fault might have occurred,” which alignswith the operational definition for this descriptor as used in the analysis (an iterative process oftrying out different variables or options until the task is accomplished or a solution is reached).
