These researchers give context to developing aclean energy curriculum that satisfies apprenticeship training. Pratt mentions four main elementsin understanding apprenticeship: “the apprentice as learner, the idea of trade or craft knowledgeas fixed and unproblematic, the master as teacher and the idea that learning in workplaces is aform of context-bound understanding not conducive to transfer” [19].Guile and Young explain that we must move away from the lecture mode, where learning is asimple transfer of knowledge, to “learning as a process in which the apprentice is involved

, goodness, evil, and pain.An investigation of such unquantifiable components is necessary both through a Christianand secular lens. Even without consideration of a creator, the laws that govern theuniverse seem to accommodate human life. In a Christian worldview, an extremelyintelligent designer creates a whole system where even seemingly destructive individualparts are intended for the greater purpose of the whole. Thus, death and pain are seen inthe scope of intentional works of a masterful engineer whose ultimate purpose is eternallove relationships. Such a view is paralleled with natural systems that have a level ofcomplexity far surpassing man-made inventions.Presentation is perhaps the most crucial element of being a missionary in academia

Only after students have mastered certain content are they givenopportunities to develop innovation in novel real-world settings during their final senior yearcourses. This approach has some downsides. First, studies have shown that one reason studentsleave STEM programs in the first few years is that they found too few opportunities to engage increative activities that relate to the real world9. Other studies have found that focusing primarilyon efficiency in early courses can suppress attempts at innovation in later educationalexperiences10 and traditional methods can decrease students’ innovative

This struckthe author as the wrong approach in educating future Civil Engineers (and Army Officers in ourcase). Influenced by much research on the subject, the author also believed that students shouldbe more responsible for their own learning as well. If they were to truly learn the material, theymust take more ownership of it and see it as more than a requirement to be met and endured.While participating in the Master Teacher Program at the U.S. Military Academy, the authorcame across some work that suggested that one way to develop a student’s metacognition, thustheir ability for life-long learning, is to view them and treat them as
