This engineering education research project seeks to better understand the problem framing stage of complex problem solving; a key aspect of innovation. The research team will study students? problem framing skills and establish the extent to which individualized, just-in-time feedback during the problem framing stage can help students develop the metacognitive skills needed to start solving complex problems. A key aspect of this project focuses on personalized learning by extending the capabilities of online learning systems to address the broader analysis skills required in complex problem solving. Specifically the team is interested in what student behaviors should trigger real-time feedback and determining how much real-time feedback helps students frame complex problems.This research has broad applicability to many engineering programs. Complex problem solving is a key skill that is very difficult to teach, and often requires significant investment of institutional resources. The real-time feedback system will be developed as an open-source project, which will enhance the ability of other programs to build from and adapt this work.

该工程教育研究项目旨在更好地理解复杂问题解决的问题框架阶段；创新的一个关键方面。 研究小组会研究学生吗？问题框架技能，并确定问题框架阶段的个性化、及时反馈可以在多大程度上帮助学生发展开始解决复杂问题所需的元认知技能。 该项目的一个关键方面侧重于个性化学习，通过扩展在线学习系统的功能来解决复杂问题所需的更广泛的分析技能。 具体来说，该团队感兴趣的是学生的哪些行为应该触发实时反馈，并确定实时反馈在多大程度上可以帮助学生解决复杂的问题。这项研究对许多工程项目具有广泛的适用性。 解决复杂问题是一项非常难以教授的关键技能，并且通常需要大量的机构资源投资。 实时反馈系统将作为开源项目开发，这将增强其他程序构建和改编这项工作的能力。
