Abstract:

Several years ago in an article in the NACTA Journal (Zimmerman, 1991), I wrote about a cap-stone problem solving course which I developed for students at a technical college (Ohio State University, Agricultural Technical Institute) and had offered for the first time. This course, Problem Solving Using System Approaches, has been offered annually for a total of seven times. This article is a reexamination of the problem solving course and a) reviews the literature to see if the course topics and content remain current and important, b) describes the major changes which have been made in the course during the past six years, and c) discusses student performance in and evaluation of the course.

 

Keywords:

capstone course, problem-solving course
