without reform, Africa is likely in 2020–30 to have more graduates withoutcritical technical skills than those with them (African Capacity Building Foundation, 2017).STI capacity has been shown to be closely linked to variations among countries in productivity(Allard, 2015). Countries with a larger STI capacity generally tend to be the most prosperous andmost industrialized. They also tend to be more politically stable, often with functioningdemocratic systems; and they provide high-quality employment for their best talent, which helpsto stem the brain drain and bolster the country´s human capital. STI capacity has been shown toplay a role in the development process of the world´s lagging and emerging economies, and inmaintaining technological

nature of the approached concepts presented both in physics and calculus books.For the physics examples, building since the beginning the idea of a vector component relative tovelocity is of an extreme importance, while for the calculus book it is not mentioned until later.Further observations on how each of the concepts around the idea of velocity are used during awhole class structure should be made. For example, with graphic representations made underboth mathematical and physical background. While both approaches may seem similar, seriousmatters are provoked.An example, often found in the classroom, happens when you ask students which object has ahigher velocity, one traveling at 5 m/s or one traveling at -5 m/s.

In other efforts,customers were incorporated, but they were either fictional or local. For example, Jensen andSchlegel have modified their first year mini-golf hole design project to require students tointerview potential mini-golf customers. Though students’ feedback about this new version ofthe project has been very positive, they only interviewed other people available on campus suchas their friends and because of this the findings of this effort are very similar to those fromtraditional first year hands-on design projects [12].
