A Cognitive Study Of Modeling During Problem Solving

Thomas Litzinger, Pennsylvania State University Thomas A. Litzinger is currently Director of the Leonhard Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Education and a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Penn State, where he has been on the faculty since 1985. His work in engineering education involves curricular reform, teaching and learning innovations, faculty development, and assessment. He can be contacted at tal2@psu.edu.
