Epistemologically, the purpose of this is to counter-balance the dominant notion that“all engineering problems have a single correct answer”, and thus have a “meta”-goal to helpstudents renormalize their conceptions of what it means to solve an engineering problem, evenwhen it appears to be “straight forward”. However, even when consciously desired, developingand deploying such problems proves to be difficult, for reasons ranging from requiring moreeffort to create and score problems, to having time for discussion in institutional
