stated: I thought that the science of structures would bereally hard to understand for someone with an english[sic]/history mind like me but it turns outthat civil engineering is not too intimidating [survey response]. Furthermore, when responding toquestions specifically about STEM abilities (content knowledge, skills, and habits of mind),students acknowledged an increase in content knowledge. For example, a student stated: Myunderstanding of the subject has increased especially in terms of evaluated civil engineeringstructures and understanding the basic science behind how they work [survey; 4/29/2015].Another student noted: I definitely now understand how engineering is really a way of problem-solving in interesting, creative ways [survey

People often learn the most from their mistakes.For example, I am guessing that the year four team members are more mindful of the customer’sneeds after their experience on this project.References1.
