Cai Shi, M., & Azevedo, T. M., & Lucietto, A. M. (2021, July), Assessing Intuition Used Among Undergraduate Engineering Technology and Engineering Students Paper presented at 2021 ASEE Virtual Annual Conference Content Access, Virtual Conference. 10.18260/1-2--36708

This study employs inferential statistics to compare engineering technology and engineering undergraduate students in their use of intuition. Anecdotal evidence shows that these students often utilize intuition to solve problems, suggesting that they use past knowledge to guide their intuition. This study's findings provide evidence that these students use intuition, and engineering technology and engineering students report using intuition in similar ways.
