Routine problemscan be seen as analogous to a layup and complex real-world problems analogous to a scrimmage.In a previous study one student highlighted this difference when he asked, “you mean you wantme to solve this like a real problem in the lab or something, not like homework or a problem onan exam.” Our students have learned how to “play school” well, but we need to make schoolmore applicable to the careers we are preparing them to enter. Students need more practicesolving complex real-world problems. It seems unnecessary to make students wait to start thispractice only after they have mastered basic math and science concepts.

engagement in engineering design. Onceteachers can notice disciplinary aspects of students’ engineering design, they can actively workto promote these in class. This will give elementary students experience with the open-endedproblems of the engineering profession and the actual strategies that engineers use to solve theseproblems. Students gain an appreciation for engineering as rigorous, informed problem solving,rather than simply arts and crafts or the application of mathematics and science. Framingengineering this way may interest more students in engineering as a future career, particularlythose who are interested in problem solving but do not believe they are good at mathematics andscience. Furthermore, when elementary students are exposed to

Such growth may be difficult for some, and the challengesto individual development may be hindered by personal, career, family, and psychological issues,as well as a dysfunctional relationship with time or technology.2 Some psychologists, likeMaslow3 and Rogers,4 as well as engineers Adams5 and Petroski,6 suggest that barriers to growthare related to a variety of personal limitations or insecurities. Bigda-Peyton7 suggests that“humans have inherent [psychological] tendencies to destroy and use up” and that “harmfuloverconsumption occurs when psychic structures dominated by destructive instincts succeed inoverpowering life-sustaining impulses” (p. 264).

Also, if they perform well in an Honors contract, the mentor could write a strong recommendation letter, more substantial than the one from a regular instructor of a course, to help them advance in their careers. - Most faculty members (89%) think that the students will gain more self-confidence after they finish their Honors contracts, but very few students (only 30%) feel this way. This is alarming. To carry out an Honors contract, the students will be required to go beyond the regular scope of the course, but the mentors have detailed instructions and often arrange weekly meeting with the Honors contracts students to help them along the way.

Accordingly, theCanadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) has designated teamwork as one of thetwelve attributes engineering students must possess upon graduation3.

In this variation on the inverted classroom, students initially experience aconcept by completing an in-class, hands-on activity that demonstrates a theory’s behaviorwithout any theoretical explanation. This is followed by the typical flipped approach withhomework to view a video explaining the theory and solve related problems and additional in-class, problem solving in the next class meeting. Early research indicates the flipped-flippedmethodology improves learning, retention and engagement.8Finally, three hands-on activities were developed to
