And if education is about the ‘lighting of a flame not the filling of a pail’—weshould be putting the tools of discovery, invention and fabrication at the fingertips of everychild—inside and outside of the classroom.”The maker culture typically emphasizes “informal, networked, peer-led, and shared learningmotivated by fun and self-fulfillment.” [2] It has grown up outside of formal learning structures,but many educational institutions are now actively seeking ways to adopt this culture

Likewise, a unique aspect of the Sailplane Class isthat it is also vertically integrated, with students entering as freshman and remaining throughtheir senior years, allowing for students to interact across their experience levels. All are requiredto give presentations and reports to promote both peer and expert feedback of their efforts.While the class focus is on the fabrication of a sailplane (or, for the past several years, on ahuman-powered airplane), two years ago radio-controlled airplanes were introduced into theprogram to augment student experiences.Course StructureTypically, the course enrollment is approximately thirty-five students.

While it is often assumed that participation inentrepreneurial experiences beyond the classroom are critical for developing the entrepreneurialmindset and entrepreneurial knowledge and skills20,27,28, these experiences are often clusteredtogether with little analysis of structure, levels of institutional support, or levels of studentparticipation, or. For instance, Duval-Couetil et al. (2012)20 used a wide range of“entrepreneurship-related activities” to compare the involvement of students who did and did notparticipate in entrepreneurship courses. These activities included the experiences of conducting amarket research, giving an “elevator pitch,” writing a business plan, participating in a non-creditentrepreneurship workshop

Students were asked to read individually and then discusstheir reading with peers. That is, students learned course related knowledge and also shared itwith other; in this way their reading comprehension and professional knowledge acquisitioncould be enhanced. In reading discussion activity, group B students recorded their notes andannotations by hand writing. Group E students could use the system to read learning materialand take digital annotations on learning content.

Additionally,successful ability writing in math and science by females, can prove advantageous in allacademic fields (Halpern et al. 2007), while introduction of unique and important perspectivesand priorities will conclude into positive social outcomes and greater ethical accountability(Eagly and Carli 2003).

These instructions also include somereminders of things to consider that may help them communicate their scene, including tone,volume, body language, and use of relational space (all discussed previously in course content).Students are additionally encouraged to use readily available props as they deem appropriate.Each group is instructed to keep their scene a secret from other groups as they prepare.

For example, it is widely accepted that many engineers believe nontechnicalskills to be easy and subsequently less valuable in the grander scheme of things [10]. A belieflike this could potentially impact the way that an engineering student interacts with a teammatein a nontechnical major like political science or creative writing. By encouraging students tocollaborate with a diverse team in a capstone environment, they are given the chance toexperience interdisciplinary interactions prior to entering the professional world.

Infact, she also enjoyed writing – so much so that she actually dual majored in Technical Writing.She tells me that the reason she didn’t pursue writing as a career is because she couldn’t see anyviable career options, whereas in engineering, there were plenty of job opportunities. WhereasTeresa felt the need to resolve her competing interests in the elevator pitch itself, Christine omitsthem entirely, perhaps feeling that her writing interests confuse the narrative too much or areirrelevant because they are not practical.One factor Teresa omitted was an admission later
