Abstrakt: This paper describes the given-find-solution method as a general approach to solving engineering problems. An in-classroom study was conducted to provide evidence of its effectiveness in increasing, students' problem-solving proficiency. The target course was an undergraduate service thermodynamics course taught at Montana State University. Results indicate that the given-find-solution method seems to be effective for most students. The implications for assessment and methodological improvements are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
