LensAbstract:Physics generally falls under engineering programs yet is required for a multitude of differentmajors spanning many departments and disciplines including medicine. When people think aboutthe medical field, their mind immediately goes to classes such as biology, chemistry, anatomyand physiology. However, when looking at the prerequisite courses for medical school or testedMCAT content, there seems to be one subject that doesn’t fit in with the rest: physics. For years,pre-health students have joked that physics is much less applicable to their future careers than theother courses. The goal of this research paper is to tackle the general student assumption thatunderstanding physics will not help them in their respective fields by providing real

For example, STEMprofessionals have missed opportunities of participating in design-thinking careers, and artprofessionals have missed the technical knowledge to provide innovative solutions [10]. Inaddition, STEM faculty and practitioners have suffered a disconnection from creativity andabstract thinking, while artistic community members have struggled to keep pace with thequickly advancing technological society [11].In the classroom, educators should encourage the early development of new ideas to fostercreativity and innovation with engineering design.

projects can foster the inclusion of students with learning disabilities (Daniela and Lytras, 2019; Nanou and Karampatzakis, 2022). In the case of tertiary education, industrial-scale robots are used to prepare students for careers in industry by emphasizing aspects such as hardware, software, and human-machine interfaces (Nagai, 2001; Brell-Çokcan and Braumann, 2013). However, industrial-scale robots are expensive to purchase. In addition, there is usually some oversight over their usage due to time-sharing and to prevent damage, which prevents "free-play" by students. Some solutions to this include the use of miniature robots and the use of online labs (Mallik and Kapila, 2020; Stein and Lédeczi, 2021). Though these reduce the cost of the setups

Researchindicates a significant factor deterring underrepresented minorities from pursuing construction-related careers is the lack of a sense of belonging. An individual’s perceived sense of belongingwithin a particular space can be influenced by the physical materials or “artifacts” within theenvironment. A study by Burgoon, et al.
