solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues.In this research, we define contextual competence as an engineer's ability to anticipate andunderstand the constraints and impacts of social, cultural, environmental, political, and othercontexts on engineering solutions.How can engineering programs best develop their students' ability to integrate context anddesign? This paper reports results from two national studies, funded by the National ScienceFoundation, which are exploring educational practices and outcomes at diverse institutions.Prototype to Production: Processes and Conditions for Preparing the Engineer of 2020 (P2P)surveyed faculty members, students, alumni
Thermodynamics) PROPERTIES OF MATTER: STATE RELATIONS Figure 1. Key thermodynamic principles provide the basis for the analysis and design of practical devices and systems. Psychological research reveals significant differences in the knowledge organization ofexperts and novices in a domain. Expert’s knowledge is fused around critical principles, whereasthe novices’ knowledge representation is piecemeal and fragmented.8,9 Experts benefit from thisstructure because well-organized knowledge supports problem solving,10 the flexible applicationof knowledge,11 strategy use,12,13 and future learning.37 The aspect of problem solving that may be most affected by how knowledge is organizedis the
