In light of this the authors describe methods of scaffoldedopportunities for independent as well as peer-to-peer learning. While student preferences varied, data is also presented on student behavior and achievement.Class attendance remained over 90% throughout all three semesters (including the COVIDSpring 2020 semester). Student feedback has indicated a sense of obligation to their lab partnersand perceived value of the in-class activities to be the primary motivators of attendance. Further,data on student achievement of summative assessments across topics has been summarized

The author argues that local publicpolicy platforms are needed so as to ensure that women engineers have a space to put theirSTEM skills into action within the workplace (Qayyum, 2012).Gulf ContextWithin the Arab Gulf region alone, women comprise 60% of engineering students in universities,double the percentage of female engineering students in the U.S. and Europe (Durrani, 2015).Unfortunately, this does not translate to the same percentages in the workforce after graduation.For example, in Qatar, women make up less than 12% of the workforce (Yahia, 2012).Participation of women in the workforce, and particularly related to STEM fields, havenevertheless been

The third step is also referred to as the idea finding stage in the Osborn andParnes model. The fourth step involves evaluating ideas. Evaluating ideas generallyoccurs based on several factors such as cost; time required, usefulness, practicality, socialacceptance, and other considerations (Torrance and Safter, 1999). Osborn (1963) referredto the fourth step as the solution finding stage. The last step in Osborn and Parnescreative problem solving process is translating ideas into problem solutions

On the other hand, summative assessments such as researchpaper, term papers, course projects, midterm and final exams help evaluate the overallunderstanding of topics taught throughout the course. Either it is a formative assessment,summative assessment, or activity, students should receive timely feedback to help students stayon track.
