IATsimilarly describes adaptive work performance in terms of eight behaviors, five of which aresuggested to be the most relevant to scientific and technical occupations [59]: problem-solving,dealing with uncertainty, learning, demonstrating interpersonal adaptability, and handling workstress. This project combines CCT and IAT into an initial typology of adaptive mindsets andbehaviors (Table 1), to be built on and extended based on input from engineering managers,early-career engineers, and students. We also utilize the CCT framework to investigate thecatalysts and

. Trajectory generation moduleWhen an axis of a machine needs to move from point A to B, the trajectory (path) connectingpoints A and B needs to be computed. This trajectory needs to result in a smooth acceleration ofthe axis from point A to a constant operational speed. After moving at this speed, the axis needsto smoothly decelerate to come to a stop at point B. This module explores the details of how sucha trajectory (motion profile) is generated in industrial motion controllers. Table 2 provides detailsof the module.III.1.

As we have developed new comparisonsessions for classroom use (on our own or with teachers), we have leveraged these templates toguide our thinking. The template serves as a generative tool by eliciting thinking about theinstructional experience. For example, debrief questions are organized to help teachers align keyconcepts with conceptual, technical, and transfer-learning elements (see Fig. 3). We have observed challenges to teacher time in preparation for the comparison sessions,although it has gotten easier with practice, based on our experience
