Situating intuition in engineering practice

Abstract: Engineers are socialized to value rational approaches to problem solving. A lack of awareness of how engineers use different decision‐making approaches is problematic because it perpetuates the ongoing development of inequitable engineering designs and contributes to a lack of inclusion in the field. Although researchers have explored how engineering students are socialized, further work is needed to understand students' beliefs about different decision‐making approaches.

TL;DR: The text describes the researcher's diverse background and passion for improving engineering education. It highlights her expertise in infectious disease and epidemiology, her commitment to challenging students to uncover new perspectives, and her goal to bridge the theory-to-practice gap in engineering education.

TL;DR: This study develops a taxonomy of emerging engineering modeling judgment skills in undergraduate students, identifying four skills: making assumptions, assessing reasonableness, overriding math answers, and using technology tools, to support students in developing professional engineering judgment.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses writing Analytic Memos About Narrative and Visual Data and exercises for Coding and Qualitative Data Analytic Skill Development.

TL;DR: The authors operationalize saturation and make evidence-based recommendations regarding nonprobabilistic sample sizes for interviews and found that saturation occurred within the first twelve interviews, although basic elements for metathemes were present as early as six interviews.

TL;DR: New developments in the science of learning as mentioned in this paper overview mind and brain how experts differ from novices how children learn learning and transfer the learning environment curriculum, instruction and commnity effective teaching.
