However, online homework provides more advanced metrics to capturestudent’s problem-solving skills. Numerous platforms have been in development for years withmath and science courses having more tools and options than engineering courses [1-4].Online homework is synonymous with terms such as auto-graded problems, and these tool havebecome common throughout science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) [5-9].By providing instantaneous feedback to students, auto-graded problem capture some of the mostimportant tenets of deliberate practice [10-13].

PDIadopts the inclusive “engineering for all” mentality as with K-12 engineering initiatives, yetinstead of classifying everyone as an engineer, students learn that diverse domains of expertisecan contribute to engineering design problem solving.This type of higher education engineering is a much milder contrast to what students experiencein K-12 engineering initiatives. In fact, many students and families that visit PDI recruitingactivities have remarked: “This is what I thought engineering was like.” Yet, PDI courses are notmeant to displace or supplant the fundamentals-first

From the outset, the DOE [ 3] realized that while the winner of a carrace can be largely determined by who crosses the finish line first, the judgmentof the “best” house design was much less obvious. The DOE settled on a “SolarDecathlon” that measures ten aspects of our current concept of a house: spaceconditioning, lighting, hot water, refrigeration, overall energy balance, design andlivability, design presentation and simulation, graphics and communication, homebusiness, and transportation. The contest is heavily oriented towardsengineering with nine out of the ten events being measured quantitatively andelectricity produced/consumed as a primary measure of energy efficiency.

In an engineering context, GIS has tremendous potential as a teaching tool toimprove student learning of various civil engineering concepts, whether through simulations,data exploration or manipulation, or example projects from different civil engineeringdisciplines. For instance, flyover animations of a topographic surface in a GIS map can helpstudents connect the two-dimensional representation of elevation data to its three-dimensionalreality, thus improving visualization skills.

Interpersonal problem solving and decision makingare, perhaps, more important in a business management curriculum than in engineering, whereproblem solving tends to focus more on solutions to technical problems.
