They also found that, since 2013, only one article related to makerspaces hadbeen published by the Journal of Engineering Education, and 68 had been published asconference proceedings.

For example, torque, moment, pneumatics, hydraulics, etc. It is experienced that studentsusually feel difficulty to comprehend such concepts when they are taught such concepts intraditional classroom settings.

One reason for this education-practice gap is that “[t]oooften in engineering classrooms, the instructional activities required of the students are notaligned with the kind of knowledge those activities are intended to foster” [5]. Another proposedreason for this gap is that engineering practice entails solving complex, ill-structured problemswith knowledge that is distributed amongst other engineers and engineering tools; whereasengineering students are often trained to solve simple problems with little to no ambiguity usingknowledge distributed amongst their instructors

The National Science Foundation,along with other national agencies, have discussed the importance of bringing more students withdiverse backgrounds into STEM fields in order to encourage inclusion and close the achievementgap [5-8].One way to attract students to STEM is through informal learning environments and experiencesthat “can kick-start and sustain long-term interests that involve sophisticated learning” [9].Informal learning environments have become common due to different reasons. For example,these summer enrichment programs are seen as programs that "help" students become moreinterested in STEM
