AB  - Technology-aided problem solving has made engineering judgement an increasingly important and essential skill for engineers. Educators subsequently need to ensure that students do not become rote learners with little ability to critically analyze the result of solutions. This need suggests greater focus should be placed on developing student’s engineering judgement, which includes engineering intuition. 

In this work in progress paper, we examine students’ problem solving as they answer statics concept inventory questions based on the Concept Assessment Tool for Statics (CATS) (Steif & Dantzler, 2005). 

Questions were modified to provide students with opportunities to explore two key aspects of engineering intuition: 1) predicting outcomes, and 2) assessing the feasibility of a solution. Students were recruited to participate in think-aloud sessions as part of the instrument development process. Each participant was asked to solve two statics concept inventory questions in a think-aloud interview. Students were recorded as they verbalized their process for deciding on the solutions to the multiple-choice inventory questions. The transcripts of these recordings were analyzed for emergent themes. Results examine emergent themes from seven think-aloud interviews with third and fourth year students to better understand how students make engineering judgements in the context of solving statics problems. Findings aim to inform the creation of classroom practices that improve students’ ability to develop, recognize, and improve their own engineering intuition.
