title = "Characterizing Student Engineering Problem Engagement Through Process Diagramming",
abstract = "This work in progress research seeks to understand how the underlying processes of authentic/open-ended/ill-structured problem-solving evolve among engineers. With this broader research aim in mind, this paper reports on a proposed reflective approach to facilitate engineering students' sharing their strategies and process during authentic problem-solving. The reflective approach asks individuals to consider an authentic and significant problem-solving experience and then: 1) diagram their problem-solving process, 2) relate it to an established problem typology classification by Jonassen, 3) relate it to an instructor's process diagrams interpretating Jonassen, and 4) update their process diagram. Preliminary results from a pilot implementation with two students are reported. In sharing this preliminary work, we consider the potential for the proposed approach to support research that accesses students' awareness and thinking about their problem-solving processes.",
