, because of its scope and potentials, is quite unique in its connection with severalaspects of modern life. Its role as a transforming agent is recognized as crucial, especially indeveloping countries. In Nigeria, for example, mastering chemistry content is one of the greatestchallenges students have. Surprisingly, many students are not aware of a chemists’ role in theoverall well-being of the society. Chemistry departments in the colleges and universities aretherefore being challenged to broaden their curricula to make chemistry students aware ofchemists’ role in the society. The pitfalls in the process of the development of curriculum createda big gap between curricular learning targets and level of student’s cognitive abilities whichcomes with

helped to legitimize the concept of intuition in nursing [35]. Anethnography of nursing as a culture not only revealed the prevalence of intuition but that moreexperienced nurses trust their intuition and rely on it more [36]. Nurses who trust their intuitioncan positively change the outcomes of their patients [37]. Furthermore, nurses define intuition asan autopilot task which can be learned [38].Master of Business Administration (MBA) classes, in contrast, are often centered on studyingbusiness cases derived from situations in industry. Studies in business have shown an increase inusing “real projects” in classes and that internship experiences are critical to universityperformance [39].

We considered the elements of motivation and persistence within the context of studentslearning engineering or engaging in engineering-based makerspace activities. Exploringpersistence as it relates to the influence of makerspaces on undergraduate engineering studentsprovides us with a framework for delving into how and why makerspace engagement mayinfluence students’ propensity to remain engaged in studying engineering despite

Applying the concept of simplification in the process ofcreating a system architecture is an art that requires repeated, iterative practice with feedback.This is why we believe that a systems architecture course is a good candidate to be taught usingthe studio art format [9]. Similar practices have been identified between system architects and both composers offilm scores [26] and master painters [27], including managing complexity and seeking harmonyin the final product. A full mapping between competencies needed in the arts and systemsarchitecture revealed that a similar problem is faced in the art education world: concepts such asthe color wheel are easy to teach, but few
