It is estimated that, by the year 2020, over 5 million post9/11 service members will have transitioned out of the U. S. Armed Forces.

In addition to the workforceneeds, scientific and technological literacy are increasingly recognized as central to informeddecision-making for all individuals living in the 21st century [5]. With the need for a STEM-literate population to fill the increasing number of STEM jobs and make informed personal andsocietal decisions, preparing students for success in STEM is of unprecedented importance.These calls for improving K-12 STEM education culminated in the Framework for K-12 ScienceEducation [6] and the Next Generation Science Standards [7] that put forth new nationalstandards that purposefully and explicitly integrate engineering, technology, and mathematicalthinking into science education.

describe the ten stages of a lab lifecycle in detail. 1. Need. Most of the labs start with a need to prove a theoretical concept using experiments or to design a process or product using modern engineering tools. Here, the later is emphasized. Often, a demonstration of a novel instrument or device is observed. Also, the current laboratory experiences are assessed and found to be inadequate or incompatible with respect to the current technology. 2. Conception. In this stage, mostly, replacement of the old lab’s instrumentation/equipment with the state-of-the-art versions is sought; preliminary evaluations of new instrumentation/equipment capabilities are performed, and some possible new lab ideas are explored

Likewise, it has the potential to evokecreativity of the general population to design and create personalized products.
