The decision support methods we include in PSE are modeling (first principlesfundamental and data-based), simulation, process control, applied statistics, optimization,synthesis and design. These topics overlap with many existing courses in engineering,operations research and applied mathematics, so that much excellent teaching and learningmaterial is available. However, a great challenge exists in teaching them at the appropriateundergraduate level, linking to practical engineering applications

Lack of SME time is a commonly documented problem both for assessment and instructional design personnel 22. • Lack of time in the work schedule to adequately get to know the new discipline area in depth. In addition to SME time, assessment personnel need to conduct literature reviews in order to more fully understand a discipline area and also to determine what, if any, existing assessment tools are available for potential modification and application towards the current project. In spite of the importance of this activity, it is often overlooked or minimalized due to time constraints. • Lack

We hope our findingswill help guide women in graduate school to continue their education in the field of STEM andresult in the increase retention of women.

As a result, they oftenexcel in developing student’s capability of “problem solving” for concept improvement and“decision making” for concept selection, respectively; while their practical effectiveness inaugmenting student’s skills of “questioning” for problem formulation and “reasoning” forconcept generation is often limited. Second, most of existing methods were not intended tosupport design as a structured social construction process, while in practice, projected-basedlearning is a common approach used in a great majority of design courses12. As a result, it is notunusual that a highly structured design method is often used by a team of student designers via acompletely ad-hoc manner.This paper aims to introduce two
