University Dr. Nadia Kellam is Associate Professor in the Polytechnic Engineering Program at Arizona State Uni- versity. Prior to this position, she was an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, where she was co-director of the interdisciplinary engineering education research Collaborative Lounge for Un- derstanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER). In her research, she is interested in understanding how engineering students develop their professional identity, the role of emo- tion in student learning, and synergistic learning. A recent research project uncovers the narratives of exemplary engineering faculty who have successfully transitioned to student-centered teaching

engineering, particularly for ill-defined engineering problems where thebeginning of the modeling process requires an engineer to make assumptions (e.g. modeling anoddly-shaped beam as a prismatic rectangle) and discretize elements (e.g. modeling theindividual forces of people on a bridge as a distributed load over the entire span) to simplify theproblem. Making assumptions and discretizing elements are part of engineering judgment [1].Engineering judgment is defined as “judgment to make a final call on the reasonableness of theanalysis or design” (p.287, [1]). In practice, engineering judgment can be equated to expertise,which is developed as an engineer spends more time in the profession.This study is part of a larger project studying students

In the first years of anundergraduate engineering degree program, introductory classes often focus on textbookproblems, larger lectures, and individual written exams. The ability to produce specificnumerical results to written problems is therefore ADK. In later years, ADK increasingly shiftstowards teamwork, communication skills, research, and collection and analysis of data. Coursesbecome more project-based and assignments have longer timelines with more open-endedsolutions. For students this shift in ADK can be a source of frustration or anxiety, as theyexperience a misalignment between
