Forexample, in one lesson children are challenged to design a parachute that is “mission” ready.Students need to design parachutes that fall as slowly as possible, but that also can fit within asmall space, as limited space is available on a spacecraft. These two criteria are in tension: largerparachutes tend to fall more slowly. Armed with results of experiments testing a variety ofcanopy materials, sizes, and suspension line lengths, teams plan, create, and test their ideas.

We plan to conduct additional experimentswith more students to make sure that our approach can easily be scaled up to more users.

The above research raises two important questions: Which factors influence students’willingness to learn when enrolled in architectural design courses? Why and how do “gender”and “education system” influence students’ learning in architecture design courses? Theobjective of this study is thus to identify the factors that influence students’ willingness tolearn in architectural design courses, with a particular focus on determining the significanceof any correlation between gender and education system.METHODOLOGY The aim of this paper is to discuss

Regardless, there is an underlying assumption thatthere is a robust manufacturing education base ready and capable of undertaking the dauntingtask of supporting economic recovery.

This confidence gap is presumed tobe partially responsible for the gender gap in engineering and other STEM fields (e.g. computerscience, physics) [10].In 2009, women earned only 17.8% of bachelor’s degrees in engineeringin the U.S. [11]. Although recent research indicates that the confidence gap may be closing (seeRittmayer et al [12] for a review), the numbers of women choosing engineering careers has notappreciable changed.Self-efficacy refers to the belief in a person’s ability to perform a specific task [13].
