Certainly, there is literature backing both sides ofthe coin; for and against, online systems and traditional homework methods [3], [4], [7]–[9],[11]. Students however, are clearly asking for both, and indicate that both will probably behelpful. Similar hybrid approaches have proven to be successful in other disciplines [14]. Maybewe should ask them to eat their vegetables alongside their ice cream!References[1] M. F. Schar, A. M. Harris, R. J. Witt, R. Rice, and S. D.

Youth thrived on having a specific goal and a set of team members towork with. “The valuable components that were important to me was [sic] having a specificgroup, which was the media team, because that is what I wanted more experience with. I feltmore comfortable being with that team since I already had some experience as a film editor.”This focus did mean, however, that youth had limited opportunities to learn skills not within theirtrack.

] state, “spatial reasoning is a mental process that involves thinkingabout relationships between three-dimensional (3D) objects.” From the early 1990’s researchershave been studying the importance of spatial reasoning skills. Most researchers who have studiedspatial skills or their components state the fact that engineering, architecture, and most scientificjobs require people to have good spatial thinking skills [2]. People with high spatial abilitybenefit particularly as they have enough cognitive capacity for mental model construction.Researchers like Hsi et al.

For example, our colleague WeiWang in the preceding scenario is not simply the individual person Wei Wang. Instead, Wei is aplant manager who supervises eight engineers, he is his parent’s son, he is your colleague, etc.In line with this conception, Wei likely gives a great deal of consideration regarding hisrelationships with his employees. Focused on interpersonal relationships, it is likely that Wei willbe very hesitant to say anything negative about the engineers he supervises, as doing so couldpotentially have detrimental effects on their lives and careers. Furthermore, writing down hisopinions and ratings of the engineers in an e-mail could

Buildings are highly technical and critical systems that are engineered to performance levelsthat allow buildings to function for 100’s of years. To achieve this, buildings require engineers andmanagers to be of a learned, regulated and licensed profession. While many engineering degrees educatebuilding design, perhaps best suited for the task is

While the use of games varies substantially depending on thepurpose(s) and benefit(s) of the game provider and gamer, recent a recent literature surveyindicates that majority of attention has been paid on the affordance of the games in other wordsdeveloping and evaluating prototypes, while focus was comparably less on the actual use andeffectiveness of games [1]. Regardless of the effectiveness and generalizability of educationalgames, more and more serious games are integrated into engineering curricula as computer-based,manual, and virtual reality-type; and a scientific consensus is established on the fact that gamesand interactive simulations are more dominant for cognitive gain outcomes [5]; [1
