From The University of Waterloo:
"Many instructors in engineering, math and science have students solve “problems”. But are their students solving true problems or mere exercises? The former stresses critical thinking and decision-making skills whereas the latter requires only the application of previously learned procedures. True problem solving is the process of applying a method – not known in advance – to a problem that is subject to a specific set of conditions and that the problem solver has not seen before, in order to obtain a satisfactory solution."
Details are provided on the principles of problem-solving as well as each step of the process outlined below:
Define the Problem Think About it Plan a Solution Carry Out the Plan Look Back
