Board 33: Empirical Foundations for Improved Engineering Education: Differences Between Engineering Students and Professional Expert Engineers while Designing

Engineering design education strives to equip students with the capability of becoming expert design engineers. To bridge the gap between the design competencies of undergraduate engineering students and expert engineers in the field, educators and researchers require a detailed knowledge of the cognitive behaviors of both cohorts. This research aims to identify novel pathways to approach the cognitive transformation from novice to expert in engineering education.
