Session 1330 Understanding the Importance of Intermediate Representations in Engineering Problem-Solving Durward K. Sobek, II Montana State UniversityAbstractThis paper describes an emerging theory on the role that representations play in engineeringproblem solving. Modern cognitive psychology has shown that not only do problem solvers usedifferent representations to store information and ideas, the representation itself influences theproblem-solvers’ solution approach. I extend this notion to the engineering domain, and illustrateit with an example from

others.The critical need for reform-minded courses involving faculty, not only from Education but fromScience and Engineering as well, is seen in light of a recent initiative begun jointly by the stateof Louisiana’s Board of Regents and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. In May2000, endorsing a report by a Blue Ribbon Commission on Teacher Quality(http://blackboard.lcet.state.la.us/courses/ScienceConsortium/; user name: Blueribbon; password:blueribbon), the two boards instituted new guidelines for teacher preparation. Noting that“teacher preparation is the responsibility of the entire college/university, not just the educationprogram unit, these guidelines shall consider issues which pertain to the college/university atlarge”.

First, since most students enter the program without a clearunderstanding of how the two disciplines compare, the lab introduces students to the fundamentalconcepts that distinguish the areas of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Second, in order topique the students’ curiosity, the labs are designed to be interesting and fun. Since the students inour programs do not take any ECE courses until their sophomore year, this is an importantobjective. Unfortunately, the math and science classes required during the freshman yeardiscourage many students. By meeting these two

It has proven very beneficial to students and the co-op program for co-ops to, whenpossible, establish a dollar or percentage value to co-op/internship results. This becomes “trackrecord” evidence of quantifiable success. It verifies the value of the student and the co-opprogram to future employers.
