While engineering education continues to focus on the use of equations and theories tosolve well-structured problems (Jonassen, 2014), engineering practice often focuses on skillsneeded to solve more ill-structured problems, such as problem formulation, communication,people management, decision-making, negotiation, and conflict resolution, among others(Brunhaver et al., 2016; Hazelrigg, 1998; Lagesen & Sørensen, 2009; Trevelyan, 2010;Williams, Figueiredo, & Trevelyan, 2014).In our experience based on the first author’s decade of experience working in engineeringindustry, exposing senior engineering students to problems that resemble the ambiguity andsocial characteristics of engineering practice

McTighe learning outcomes are organized into three levels of learning importance:1. enduring understandings, 2. important to know insights, and 3. good to know information. InPrinciples the enduring understandings are: 1., the ability to recognize entrepreneurialopportunities, 2. to communicate the benefits of those opportunities to others whether they arecustomers, partners, employees or investors, and 3., the ability to asses and compareentrepreneurial competencies. These enduring understandings establish the most importantlearning outcomes that the student is expected to know or be able to do as a result ofparticipating in the Principles course.

Still others may treat theirengineering degree as a stepping stone to managerial opportunities in the first place57.In the second explanation, engineering managers’ daily work activities influence theirperceptions of their current position, which then in turn influences their sense of engineeringidentity. For all of the emphasis on equipping engineering students with both technical andprofessional skills, several studies have demonstrated a perception among engineers that “real”engineering is synonymous with “technical problem solving”11,21,23 or with “the hands-on ‘nutsand bolts’ work”30.

Krebs and Bordia foundthat in an ethnically diverse work team, collectivists (Japanese) initiated less conflict andused less competitive tactics than did individualists (European-Americans). Thus,individuals high in birthplace dissimilarity may have perceived higher levels of trustbased on their collectivist values of a more cooperative attitude toward group work.Further research, however, is required to clarify the findings [17].Communication and information are often central components of distance work.
