Abstract
This work-in-progress uses a cognitive science methodology for investigating the nature of teacher decision making in engineering education. We ask engineering educators to identify two memorable, recent decisions and describe the situation, the process of making the decision, the factors that they took into account, and the outcomes of their decisions. In this paper, we focus on the preliminary results from this pilot study
