Find Case Studies

Case studies (also called "case histories") are descriptions of real situations that provide a context for engineers and others to explore problems. Case studies typically involve complex issues where there is often no single correct answer--you may be asked to select the "best" answer given the situation.

Case studies allow you to:

• Explore the nature of a problem and circumstances that affect a solution
• Learn about others' viewpoints and how they may be taken into account
• Define your priorities and make your own decisions to solve the problem
• Predict outcomes and consequences
