toengage intuition [14]. If the problem is too difficult or requires too much outside information,few will be motivated to solve the problem. For example, in previous studies of aerospaceengineering students in an introductory space mechanics class, a gap in intuition was observedbetween aeronautics and astronautics students. The aeronautics students who do not see how thematerial is important to their career (i.e. designing airplanes) demonstrate less intuition than theastronautics students on astronautical problems [9]. On the other hand, a problem that is tooobvious or has a clear “plug and chug” solution does not require higher-order processes. Asdeveloping an appropriate problem can be difficult, creating a broad tool was necessary. The

During the 2018-2019 academic year, we implemented a laboratory section for EE 341.While developing these labs, we operated with the following five goals in mind. 1. The lab activities should be engaging, interesting, and motivate students to learn the more abstract concepts. 2. The lab activities should complement the material learned in lecture and homework. 3. The lab activities should not be too “cookbook”, meaning that there should be a chance for students to explore and interpret the results and think about how to apply the results. 4. The lab activities should not duplicate what the students learn in physics. While EE

Byexamining the development level within students’ class standing groups (freshman to senior), onecan gauge whether students over time perform at higher rates than previous years. Ideally, to testgains across a given span of time, data is collected longitudinally, tracking an individual acrosstheir college career. Because we assume that regardless of student ability and demographicbackground, as whole, students will have higher learning gains as they progress through theengineering program, we assert that by aggregating and averaging out values over different classstanding groups can provide insights similar to that of a longitudinal study.Figures 1 and 2, where average scores are examined across

Stevens and collaborators point out that: “Students often have vague images of professional engineering work, and the images they do have are strongly colored by the experiences in their educational careers…As a result, students often ignore, discount, or simply do not see images of engineering that emphasize its nontechnical, noncalculative sides and its non-individual aspects” ([6], p. 120).Similarly, Jonassen also notes problems in the discrepancy between engineering problems solvedby students and practitioners: “Learning to solve classroom problems does not effectivelyprepare engineering graduates to solve workplace problems” ([7], pp. 103-104).

Creativity should be promoted in our profession as much as is reasonable. The smartest tend to be the most creative and if we shun that part of a young person's interest, we will lose that valuable talent to another profession.

These skills willhelp our students in becoming better engineers and give them experience that can help them intheir future careers.
