    A 3-step strategy is presented for engineering problem solving: 1) Identify the technique to solve the problem by listing knowns and unknowns. 2) Apply the technique to a sample problem with a known answer from class materials. 3) If the answer is incorrect, rethink the technique by consulting references; otherwise apply it to problems with unknown answers and use sanity checks to validate the reasonableness of the solution.

    this is where the learnin happens!! hw, exams, projects,


    identify techique to solve problem List your knowns and unknowns

    etc
    apply technique to problem with known answer (class or book example, trivial situation)

    answer correct? yes

    no

    rethink your technique (consult class notes, course book, other books, instructor)

    apply technique to problem with unknown answer (homework, project, etc.) determine difference between test and actual problems come up with sanity checks (units, spot checks, extremes, intuition)

    answer reasonable?

    no

    yes done

    this is where you demonstrate what you have learned"
