Although the rationale for developing engineering judgment inundergraduate students is the complexity they will face in professional practice, engineeringeducators often considerably reduce the complexity of the problems students face. Student workintended to train engineering judgment often prescribes goals and objectives, and demands a one-time decision, product, or solution that faculty or instructors evaluate. The evaluation processmight not contain formal methods for foregrounding feedback from experience or reflecting onhow the problem or decision emerges; thus, the loop from decision to upstream cognitiveprocesses might not be closed. Consequently, in this paper, our exploration of engineeringjudgment is guided by the

The decision to stay in the degree was viewed through an analysis ofcosts, saying that “the question was not whether they could successfully complete a graduatedegree program but whether it was worth doing” (p. 262).
