application of engineering or technology in imaginative creations or inventive solutions to issues in the real world. By incorporating design and logic into their lessons as well as promoting original thinking, STEAM programs integrate them into STEM curricula.” Participating in the newly developed curriculums is essential when it comes to understanding the main factors of what is being said. For the inter-disciplinary approach to integrating the STEAM and entrepreneurial mindset, certain factors must be identified” “These sculptures exhibit exquisite detail and show off what is possible when a master welder takes his time to incorporate the wonder of

Determine which of the activities in a flipped Dynamics class are most effective, in the students’ opinions, in helping them master the course material. 2. Identify practices that help new instructors who are planning on flipping a Dynamics course, especially those who are planning on using materials developed by somebody else. 3. Identify factors and practices that lead some students to prefer a flipped structure in Dynamics and other students to prefer a traditional structure.Description of the coursesBrief descriptions of how the flipped course has evolved from being in a 100% remoteenvironment to a face-to

The skill and interest levels between members were quite noticeable, and I ended up having to take on the bulk of the research. • Our group worked well as a team and decided together how to move forward and complete the project in a timely matter. Together we split the project into sections so that we could each focus on a topic. This way each of us could become masters of each individual topic and be able to present each of our topics. • We wasted a lot of time bouncing ideas around. It can be difficult to come up with original ideas or ideas that actually make sense to make into reality. In the future I would probably try to have each person in

Many employers will put the student in multiple situations to test the studentwithin their company to identify if the student would be “the right fit” for their company culture[9]. This requires the employer to expose the student to many different people and job scenariosthat occur within the construction company [1].Literature ReviewHistorically the idea of an internship stemmed from the trades people of Europe in the 11th and12th centuries where the master craftsman and tradesman would take young

An actual sense of challenge needs to be created to lend legitimacy to badge, trophy and reward systems. If not associated with specific challenges beforehand, those gamification tools will fail to evoke a sense of accomplishment and development.3) Empowerment of Creativity and Feedback: this aspect of Octalysis pertains to situations where the users are engaged in a creative process and are given freedom to repeatedly overcome obstacles.
