Shannon joined the project afterthe grounded theory data analysis was already underway. As a result, she was able to view thefindings of both investigations from a new perspective with more clarity than the authors whohad been engaged with data analysis for a long time. She leveraged this perspective to helpsynthesize the findings of both studies, pinpointing and articulating commonalities and distinctdifferences in the results.

, &Lee (2006) found that nearly all workplace problems are complex and ill-structured. Studentsoften only encounter complex ill-defined problems at the end of their four year engineeringprogram and enter the workforce without these critical skills requiring more on the job training.3How can we prepare students to solve these ill-defined complex problems that they willencounter as working engineers? The Vanderbilt-Northwestern-Texas-Harvard/MIT (VaNTH)Engineering Research Center attempted to answer this question in a Biomedical Engineeringcontext. The VaNTH project designed a biotransport engineering curriculum to help studentsdevelop innovation and efficiency.4,5,6 Innovation was operationalized as the adaptive ability toperform well in

The transformation took sevenmonths and included course planning, design, and development phases. During the planning phase,students’ needs were reviewed, and instructional strategies to better meet them were identified. Itwas concluded that giving students more practice would be the most direct approach to improvingtheir problem solving, and whenever possible, immediate feedback about students’ answers andspecific guidance should be provided.FALL 2017
