However,they have different missions in support of national defense and thus sailors and Marines havevery different job responsibilities during their service. This study investigates how these differentroles impact their future choice to major in engineering. We explore three research questions. 1)What reasons did student veterans in engineering give for first enlisting in the Navy or

In particular, the educational framework included a mix of software and small-scale models. Thefirst one helped students realize the difference between textbook solutions and the real-world physicalphenomena by visualizing and experiencing 3-D structural behaviors in a virtual environment.On the other hand, small-scale modeling was used to provide students with a greater impression forlonger retention.

BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATIONThere are various teaching pedagogical approaches that have been identified to enhance studentcomprehension and scholarship abilities in engineering education. One of the most recurrent isknown as Problem-based learning (PBL), which is centralized towards the acquisition ofknowledge and primarily focuses on developing learners’ self-directed learning capabilities andcritical thinking-skills through problem-solving, interpersonal skills, and team skills [1].

The7E plan consists of 7 sequential stages in teaching and learning that are elicit, engage, explore,explain, elaborate, evaluate, and extend [3]. The 7E model is often used as a conceptual changemodel. This model seems to be a complete and comprehensive teaching tool that initiates witheliciting the interests of the learners and ends up at the future extension of the concepts, and thestages can also be repeated in cyclic order. Within its levels, instructors can work from elicitingdissatisfaction at the beginning to having students extend their new understanding to ensure themisunderstanding has been

Although some researcher findings have not beensupportive [5-7], a general consensus has not been formed on the practice due in large part to thediffering examination formats, topics and contexts. As a result, course instructors are often leftto debate whether the allowance of self-made

, creativity is seen as the ability to generate new ideas, either as new ways oflooking at existing problems or of seeing new opportunities, perhaps by exploiting emergingtechnologies or changes in markets [1-4]; as shown in Figure 1, creativity has two phases. Incontrast, innovation is seen as the successful exploitation of new ideas—i.e., it is the process thatcarries new ideas through to new products, new services, new ways of running the business, oreven new ways of doing business [5-7]. By the time we reach our university studies, most of ushave been trained to move quickly from divergent thinking to convergent thinking, so we can findthe best answer or best plan to whatever problem we face.

For some companies, especially thosenoted for their high turnover clearly training cannot be justified as training an employee at$1,500 per year of training can be a major expense if the company’s profit per employee is lessthan $1,500 [2].
