  • Abstract
    Most engineers and scientists would readily agree that the ability to ask and pursue productive questions can lead to a more globally competitive workforce; students with this ability can also enrich the STEM classroom learning environment. Through demonstration, active learning, and small group activities, this special session explores how we can help tomorrow´s engineers ask productive questions and evaluate which questions may lead to creative solutions to research problems or innovative new products.
