Thought Patterns in Technical Fields Process 1. Prepare study sheets that summarize each process. 2. Test your recall by writing out the steps from memory. 3. Write difficult or lengthy procedures on index cards for review. 4. Be certain to understand the logic behind the process.

Thought Patterns in Technical Fields Problem-Solving Strategies Step 1: Specify the problem. Step 2: Analyze the problem. Be flexible in your analysis. Brainstorm possibilities. Talk with others about the problem. Step 3: Formulate a solution path. Step 4: Evaluate possible solution paths. Step 5: Implement the solution.
