intuition and thus the focus of this section.Much of the early decision making research was completed through controlled experimentationwhere study subjects chose among a variety of options. In the late 1980s, a new approach begantaking hold as behavioral scientists became more interested in studying how decisions are madein real environments, which became known as naturalistic decision making. Naturalistic decisionmaking has close parallels with intuition, and subsequently strong contrasts with some of theearlier models.The first conference on naturalistic decision making occurred in 1989 [59], sponsored by theArmy Research Institute [60]. This conference brought together decision making researcherswho had been working in parallel towards what is

instruction due to fact that most engineeringcurricula are already overloaded with disciplinary coursework. This experience generally occursduring the first year of study, often in the first semester, and is only touched on again if it isrequired for a specific course. Thus, an important area of research for engineering education isto design ways to help students learn programming and computer skills more efficiently to betterprepare students in the time allotted in the curriculum.One possible reason for this discrepancy between the learning outcomes desired by instructorsand student performance is that the instructional methods used as well as the very nature of thematerial do not match well with the learning styles of most engineering students
