Corbett, USCGA Shane Corbett is currently a senior electrical engineering student at the US Coast Guard Academy. At an early age Shane found himself tinkering with electronics more than he would like to admit. His parents feared buying him new pieces of technology because inevitably they would end in pieces on a work bench next to a kid with a smile on. Once accepted to the USCGA Shane took his curiosity to the classroom and began his studies within the EE major. After an antennas course his junior year he found himself perplexed at the intricacies of this field of study. He then pursued an internship at MIT

engineering program. The Engineering Science curriculum is a cooperative offering of the engineering technology, science, and mathematics programs. It is often found in the classroom that many students have difficulty in getting started with a given problem, applying appropriate concepts and principles, let alone solving problems. These problem solving skills are crucial for students to be successful in this rigorous curriculum. In spite of showing plenty of examples, asking them to practice problems during the class time and having them do their homework every week; professors still find that quite a few students cannot solve similar problems in the tests so that some students choose to withdraw from the class

As a result, digital learning tools are being integrated at all levels of education, leveragingtechnology for maximum learning impact. Furthermore, digital tools have the potential of rapidand wide integration into classrooms, and if developed and implemented thoughtfully, may serveto address some mismatches that may exist between teaching methods and learning styles.For this study, interested parties of engineering university academics and K-12 Science,Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM
