Despite these claims, many FGS in engineering often succeed to graduation, yet littlework has examined the experiences and attitudes that aided in their success.

StepsStoppage in a solution generating process is identified during student interviews by meeting thefollowing criteria:1. Solver must explicitly make statement of stoppage. The first indicator of stoppage is the student’s explicit statement that their process has stalled. The interviewer must make an attempt to gather clarifying information from the student during the interview to verify that the solver is truly unable to continue.2. Stoppage must occur prior to solution search or solver must have rejected previously posedsolution. Stoppage occurs as a break in the solution path and should not be assigned to a generated solution that has not been assessed for validity.3. Interviewer must examine the discourse to eliminate
