The combination of techniques was chosen on the understanding from theliterature that in order to be creative, students must be willing to risk trying something new andbe willing to make mistakes.[48] Theatre exercises enable students to open their minds, questionassumptions, and see things differently; moreover, they help lower the stakes for students whomay be uncomfortable with a process that may be completely foreign to them. These activitieshave been shown to improve students’ abilities to think creatively in a typical classroomenvironment [22, 49].In the summer of 2018, our group sought to implement similar, evidence

Here, the top circle is the engine of all student activities related to learning frombuilding rockets. It also appears to be the driver of student attitudes about learning, particularlywhen students describe their collaborative activities leading to learning independence. Second,the attitudinal mindset of the groups was learning from failure. When a student occasionallyrevealed what they needed to overcome the “failures,” the answer was often more data andresearch. These failures were related to testing aspects of the rocket that one finds in theengineering design process, rather than failures of will or

engineering curriculum typically does not cover extensively [18], and which theyhave not had to do in their early-career roles. These engineers, who may have performedindividual contributor tasks for most of their careers, may feel unprepared and unconfident, andthus unhappy, when placed in higher-responsibility leadership positions. Another possibleexplanation is that engineers feel like the higher responsibility tasks are not necessarily moreimpactful than are the lower-level tasks. As technically-minded professionals, many may findmore enjoyment and happiness in more technical roles.B.
