As they advance in capability and increase in adoption, studies have shown autonomousvehicles can reduce accidents and traffic congestion [1]. The race to achieve full autonomy isundoubtedly here and many companies are taking part in it. Although the closest purchasable fullyautonomous vehicles are those with adaptive cruise control (ACC), there are now driverless, fullyautonomous commercial vehicles on the roads in the United States.

In thispaper, we present the survey assignment and photovoice reflection on corrosion and erosion,specifically, as it is traditionally considered a negative surface phenomenon. Thematic analysisof the photovoice reflections show that students are motivated to explore mechanisms forincreasing system value and identifying opportunities. Ultimately, findings suggest that the useof hands-on surveying assignments to compliment the traditional teaching methods used inmanufacturing classrooms can promote an entrepreneurial mindset when studying manufacturingcontent.1.

The ability toeffectively solve complex engineering problems can be the difference between project successand failure, but problem solving differs based on expertise. Experts are known to employdifferent problem-solving strategies compared to novices [2, 3]. Experts’ greater informationprocessing capacity [4] allows them to approach a problem in a non-systematic manner [5].Specific skills that allow experts to effectively solve a problem are the ability to mentallyrepresent a situation and the ability to employ different problem-solving approaches for differenttypes of engineering problems [6].
