transition as smooth as possible for newengineering hires.IntroductionThere can often be a rude awakening for engineering students transitioning from academia to thework world. Teachers can help make that transition smoother by preparing students for full timeemployment which is often significantly different than academia in some important ways. Manystudents believe engineering practice will mirror what they did in school which is typically notthe case. While they develop their problem-solving skills in school, they may have theimpression that all industry problems have a single answer like their textbook problems. That israrely the case for industry problems of any significance.A skill many students have not learned is to check their results to

Everyday Problem Solving in Engineering: Lessons for Educators1 David Jonassen, Johannes Strobel, Chwee Beng Lee University of Missouri/Concordia University/Nanyang Technology University Many engineering programs have integrated problem-based learning (PBL) into their instruction. Quite often, the problems that are solved in PBL programs are not authentic. In order to develop more authentic problems that are required to prepare engineering graduates to solve complex, ill-structured workplace problems, we developed a case library of engineering problems as described by practicing engineers. The qualitative analysis of those stories showed that workplace problems are ill
