backgroundIt is known that engineers need to possess strong visualization and problem solving skills, yet the Page 24.835.2K-12 education system fails to implement visualization and practical problem solving lessonsinto the curriculum thereby decreasing interest in engineering and science. This problem isfurther compounded by the lack of hands-on extra-curricular activities that spark interest inscience and engineering while improving the troubleshooting and practical skills of the students.In fact, our young generations are mastering the usage of keyboards, mice, and touchscreensmore than their predecessors with disregard to machine shops skills

For example, what are the middle school or high school studentsthinking, what are their teachers and parents thinking? This is a key development for ourstudents to master. For example, when involved in design work, engineers should considermultiple perspectives in the actual design.RESULTSReflective writing was a key component of the course, and it appears that it had an impact on thestudents. Students are more aware of their attitudes and can think about engineering in broadercontext. Several students have commented on how this class made them more aware of howengineering can impact their community as well as how to present engineering

where students enjoy “hands-on” experiences through laboratory experiments andcomputer simulations and illustrations. In general, most students in sciences and engineeringhave difficulty in mastering fundamental concepts and basic principles; one possible reason forthis deficiency in student learning may be that the classical lecture-mode of teaching by itself isnot sufficient for students to grasp basic concepts. When learning advanced materials, it isimportant for students to develop physical visualization and conceptual understanding of thematerial structure at several levels (microstructure, constituents, and lay-up assemblies) and theirproperties and behaviors (orientation-dependent properties due to anisotropy.3.3 Discussion model

Theleader must offer solutions and in the case of an academic team, it may be necessary to “help”the non-performing team members to re-evaluate their goals. It is possible that they shouldconsider the Masters rather than a Doctorate. These are difficult discussions to undertake butthey are necessary.

The instructor then delivered the contents one piece at a timebetween Week 3 and Week 9. To reinforce student learning, these contents were coveredin homework assignments, in-class quizzes, and exam questions.This approach worked well in covering all important topics thoroughly because theinstructor had full control of the lecture contents. However, communication topics werenon-technical in nature. Even though good communication skills were hard to master,communication theories on paper were relatively easy to follow. When

An essential element of thedesign is the use of a summarizing activity that allows the students to reinforce and transfercompetencies mastered in previous learning tasks to a new problem-solving context[8, 9] . Theintent of the transfer activity is to stimulate students to make connections and generalizationsabout the competencies learned after applying them in a new way.
