Students learn deductively and appreciate the careful cautionexhibited by a developer in ascertaining that the solution is reliable and accurate. Although the learn-implement-build-test technique is necessary for communicating large amounts of technical information,it lacks the real-world relevance and use of available resources necessary for product design. Furthermore,technical competence is not enough to address the practical considerations of successful product design[6].

EML techniques aim to increase student curiosity, improve the student’s ability tomake connections between disparate sources of information, and ultimately equip them to createvalue for themselves and society. Thus, EML is closely related to inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, and project-based learning.
