In human cognition, mental models are important schemas of the world that people use toreason, solve problems, and make inferences across situations [1]. When students apply theirmental models of Google-like search expectations to single search bars on library websites orscientific databases, they are often met with confusing, unexpected, or incorrect results. Thepurpose of this exploratory study is to evaluate undergraduate College of Engineering andCollege of Sciences and Arts students’ real-world search strategies during a library instructionsession at Michigan Technological University (MTU).

Developing Complex Problem-Solving Competency: An Exploration Based on Engineering Teachers’ PerspectivesBackgroundComplex problem-solving (CPS) has been considered as one of the key competenciesfor professional engineers [1]-[2] and has been increasingly emphasized byinternational engineering education certification bodies (for instance, ABET [3]).However, general observations of engineering education practice show that althoughcultivating students’ complex engineering problem-solving competency has become acommon vision for education researchers and practitioners, there is an obvious gapbetween research progress and real classroom practice [4]-[6].

Despite the rise of these interdisciplinary programs, thedisciplinary silos that persist in university settings create several structural barriers that hinderinterdisciplinary programs from achieving their full potential; these include conflicts in policies,procedures, and budget models across disciplines [1]. While several of these conflicts have beenexplored by researchers in the early 2000s [2], [3], the persistence of the challenges coupled withthe urgency of interdisciplinary work to address global challenges warrants renewed attention tothese issues.

With the goal of effective professionalformation of diverse types of engineering students, this single case study seeks to provideinsights into the experiences of one minoritized engineering student with a low sense ofbelonging in his engineering department

However, more qualitative analysis is still needed to moreaccurately characterize the stressors graduate students face, and the coping mechanisms they useto mitigate the ill effects of stress.This paper seeks to answer the following research questions: (1) What elements of theengineering graduate student experience cause students stress?

engineering students should provide at least five things to lead to students’further academic success and prepare them for the job market: 1) material mastery, 2)communication, and collaboration, 3) software/programming skills, 4) learning andmetacognition, and 5) confidence. Students in traditional lecture-based classrooms may not betaught these skills [1][2]. Numerous studies have shown that active and cooperative learningclasses are better at addressing these than traditional lecture-based classes [3].

To do this, we ask a question: How does an expert academic or practitioner learn deeplyand master their field? Marshall Lib asked this question to ASEE in 1996 [1]. While he used theanalogy of learning to play a sport to how expert engineers form, and that often that formation isoutside of the classroom and subsequent to the formal education of the person, we see significantopportunities to heighten engineering formation in the classroom through pedagogical techniquesthat follow the call of Marshall Lib.
