The state of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) education is often decried for focusing too much on the low-level skills required to do specific tasks; this often comes at the expense of promoting the strategic knowledge associated with expertise. The environment that today's students will encounter in the workplace will require them to adapt to new challenges in innovative ways. Namely, they will need to become adaptive experts. To better inform CAD education, this work examines how practicing engineers adapt to a new environment and compares this behavior to that of students.
