Students of the Problem-Solving Project Group report on the results of a two-year study of how they solve problems. (BB)

Interviews with engineering freshmen show they are drawn to the profession by specific common interests, but their notion of what engineering actually entails remains hazy. (Author/BB)

Tests the hypothesis that students self-selecting themselves for different occupational fields differ in relevant values and interests. Industrial engineers have different work values and images of their subfield than other engineering specialists. In terms of type of student selecting engineering, the profession cannot be treated as an…
