These frameworks range from amodel for understanding the differences in when and where instructional activities takeplace between traditional and collaborative learning, to a series of Supplementary SkillsModules (SSM). The SSMs support student skill development in the areas of problemsolving, teamwork, and information technology to a staged curriculum model forintegrating problem solving and teaming into the curriculum [6,7].With these tools in place, the team then turned its attention to developing a

Engineering Education, 2012 Developing a Cross-Cultural Model of Problem Solving: Comparing U.S. and Indian Engineering UndergraduatesThe process of globalization has changed economies and the workplace worldwide. As thisprocess has evolved, competitiveness has become a central issue. According to a typical metricof competitiveness used by government agencies and the media, which is the number ofengineering graduates, the U.S. has been falling behind emerging economies, most particularlyIndia and China.1 However, in trying to decide who is winning and who is losing, Gereffi et al.1emphasize that it is important to consider quality as well as quantity. But what does “quality”mean in engineering, and how are we to measure it

and development of a formal plan in engineeringdesign processes. According to Crismond and Adams, informed designers—i.e., those whose“level of competence lies somewhere between that of the novice and expert designer” (p. 743)—use divergent thinking to generate as many ideas as possible [1]. The underlying idea ofbrainstorming is that thinking of more ideas will ultimately lead to a better idea to be realizedlater in the design process [2]. For example, Kudrowitz and Dippo summarized findings of theirempirical work on brainstorming, or ideation, as follows: “to get more original solutions [to aproblem], one must push past and build upon the ideas generated first to arrive at the lessobvious ideas and association” (p. 15) [3].Despite

The student’s suggested that self-assessment helped them to deepen understandingof the course by a continual engagement with the material. Consequently, a student described thelayered levels of engagement and interaction that self-assessment affords them and how this washelpful in grounding their understanding of the course material. One of the best ways to learn something is continually putting the information in front of you and actively engaging with it. The self-assessment exercise does this for most students. You have to

Success in the technological solutionis not evaluated and does not affect students’ grades. To avoid disclosing information about theexperience, as stated before, this “safety” is communicated by letting students know thatwhatever they do in Phase 1 does not contribute to their grades in the course, other than themsubmitting their written reflections. In Phase 2, students know what to expect in general terms. Inthis case, students are told that the success of the solution in meeting the technologicalrequirements is not a factor in

Our professors asked us to ‘dive in’, that is, you were given a task that you were completely unfamiliar with and then given some information to figure it out on your own. I did sometimes miss the bit-by-bit traditional way of learning, but then during my internship I realized you do need to dive in to a greater extent. It's unrealistic to just teach people to do things bit by bit based on an established knowledge system in the traditional way when you're training people for future jobs or accomplishing new things never done before.
