Abstract
We are developing and testing interactive computer software, which is designed to measure intellectual development in engineering students as defined by the Perry and reflective judgment models. Four open-ended scenarios have been constructed and piloted with 25 subjects including high school and college students and college faculty. Initial results suggest the software is capable of predicting intellectual development to the precision of the traditional interview technique.
