back to when we all started writing our first scene performances, everyone was stuck sitting in their groups and trying to systematically plan out the script and staging in their heads rather than getting up and trying it. It’s something that we aren’t taught a lot of in engineering. I can’t count how many times I’ve had a group report to write and we’ve sat there deliberating on how exactly we want to write it, when it would have been much easier to just start writing what ever comes to mind, and then editing later. I think that free “artistic” style of thinking (not saying that artists aren’t systematic in what they do) is something we can all learn from.6.2 Representations of Science and Technology in the Popular

Engineering schools in the United States have specificcurricular requirements that students must fulfill in order to graduate, and some of theserequirements may incorporate a component of entrepreneurship education.

It’s breaking tradition and taking a new approach to solving an old problem. I think an innovation is actually only truly innovative if it is delivered to the world and widely adopted, and enjoyably used.” Riley “In my mind innovation is recognizing a need, or a gap, or a circumstance that could be better and then bringing to bear new ways of

Therefore, high school students‟attitudes to engineering may be an important predictor of not only being adequately preparedto engineering but its pursuit. If more high school students acquire positive attitudes towardsengineering, more of them will be motivated to choose engineering as a career.An attitude is a

First is the use of ambiguous direct objectssuch as thing(s), something, and stuff when talking about accomplishing tasks.

However, I believe that the way the school system is currently set up, rote learning is rewarded favorably over conceptual learning. While a conceptual learning style would be favorable on exams if the concepts were allowed to be solidified in students' minds, 10-week terms packed to the brim with engineering work does not allow time for some conceptual learners to attain confidence with the concepts.
