Team 11 “techcrew” settles helped blind people and designed glasses to make them see by tactile senses. Theglasses were designed by inspiration from virtual reality glasses. On the other hand team 09“majestic empire” designed a solution to help people in wheelchairs to get to places withoutbeing pushed. They designed an electrical cart to transport them.Team 41 “masters of engineering” wanted to make playing judo easy by modifying the beltsthat they thought were hard to tie.

effectively completing a taskaffects whether or not he or she chooses to engage in a specific task. One’s expectations ofachieving success affect the amount of time and energy expended on a task, and his or her abilityto persist despite barriers. Higher levels of self-efficacy lead to more effort and stamina towardpersistence. Therefore, a woman with high engineering self-efficacy is more likely to persist    toward achieving a degree in engineering despite barriers or obstacles encountered.

This couldbe as simple as using certain materials over others or as complex as planning design challengesaround what the students are interested in. Teachers also found that asking students questionsduring the design challenge allows the students to think for themselves and to engage more in theactivity. However, they also realize that implementing STEM is a process and it will take severaliterations or years to master. This includes incorporating the feedback from both teachers

Careful experiments must be devised to present various ways couples may work. Somefield trips to the science museums may be necessary. Simultaneously students need to master boththe principle of transmissibility and the force-couple equivalency. By adding and subtracting thesame force at a point not lying along the axis of the original force equivalently represents the sameforce at a new point of application, plus a new couple. In addition to observing experiments in alaboratory setting, students must solve some illustrative examples (e.g., Figure 1) to realize whycouples may be called free vectors. It is advisable to
