However, the limited data that was collected requires furtherinvestigation on the generality and applicability of the framework to otherinterdisciplinary contexts (e.g., peer-to-peer, graduate-undergraduate laboratories).ReferencesChandler, J., Fontenot, A.D., and Tate, D.

that they wanted to avoid keepinga design notebook, which is a requirement for the EPICS class. After discussions with the currentstudent leaders, it was determined that the actual differential of work between EWB-USA andEPICS is not that significant and the benefits of the additional accountability of being graded forcredit motivated the change in policy to limit the number of audits.The EPICS curricular and assessment processes aligned very well with the EWB-USA structureand philosophy. Both EPICS and EWB-USA promote and rely on strong student leaders. TheEPICS structure did not reduce the student leadership and it allowed the inclusion of theprofessional mentors. The relationship between the professional mentor(s) and the faculty

argue from differentpositions is needed to diagnose the environment and propose the best solution17.Decision-making problems usually require that problem solvers select a solution from a set ofalternative solutions2. Traditional conceptions of decision making posit a set of alternativecriteria that decision makers work through in order to identify the optimal solution. Thosecriteria may be provided to the problem solver(s), or the solver(s) may have to identify the mostrelevant criteria. Everyday life is replete with decision-making problems. Businesses also dailysolve many decision-making problems. Though these problems typically require selecting onesolution, the number of decision factors to be considered in deciding among those solutions as

Thus engineering education’s framing of issues as problemsmay serve to create an engineering education system that gives rise to, or exacerbates, thoseperceived problems.
