. When asked “If you were toteach ME 20, would you assign an open-ended problem?” the student responded, “I feel likestudents...this is something that most students should go through because, as I’m hearing open-ended problems are kind of what people do in the engineering world anyway.” We argue theimportance of including OEMPs or other ill-defined problems in the curriculum to developengineering judgment and the ability to deal with vague problems and other non-engineeringmetrics of success [19] to better prepare students for their professional careers.Conclusions and ImplicationsThis study examined an open-ended modeling problem (OEMP) given to second-year students ina statics course. To solve the OEMP, students were explicitly and implicitly

IRE is a100% Project-based Learning (PjBL) and design-oriented engineering education program; thestudents gain their technical and professional learning while completing design projects. IREstudents must take four, three credit, design courses called Design I, Design II, Capstone DesignI and Capstone Design II11,12. Figure 1 shows the IRE curriculum. The majority of the projects atIRE are industry projects; however, internal projects are also defined.
