assessment of competencies in engineering students is always a challengefor higher education institutions. To develop and assess multiple skills through one learningstrategy is even a greater challenge. In a changing society shaped by the availability ofinformation resources on the internet, higher education institutions are seeking disruptiveteaching and learning mechanisms that satisfy students’ knowledge requirements, workforceskills requirements, and the requirements of accreditation systems.ABET criterion 3 (i.e., student outcomes) has established a set of engineering outcomes thatevery student should attain at the end of an engineering undergraduate program.1 Theseoutcomes can be divided into two categories, “hard skills” associated mainly

Embedded within the project were opportunities to provide discovery-basedlearning experiences during summer industry internships around “renewable energy andresources” hosted at a local water and energy company. The specific bioremediation unit wasdelivered during a summer internship, which served 22 eighth-grade students.The role of creative and critical thinkers is more important than ever.

AdaptiveExpertise (AE) can help describe this ability. Hatano and Inagaki2 distinguish between routineand adaptive expertise. Routine experts are technically proficient in their established domains ofknowledge and application. They apply their well-developed knowledge base appropriately andefficiently to solve core problems in the domain. However, when they face a novel problem, theytend to misapply technical principles, analysis procedures, and outcome interpretations in theirattempts to reach a solution2-4. In other words, they fail to adapt their expertise in a new context.Adaptive experts share the core technical proficiency of routine experts. Further, they areflexible in developing appropriate responses and solutions in novel situations. For example

Theinfluential historian of technology, Eugene Ferguson, makes just this point to close his book,Engineering and the Mind’s Eye: If we are to avoid calamitous design errors as well as those that are merely irritating or expensive, it is necessary that engineers understand that such errors are not errors of mathematics or calculation but errors of engineering judgment—judgment that is not reducible to engineering science or to mathematics.

Two is to utilizethe web-based databases that are available via their student accounts to find at least two articlesrelated to their technology.
