PSM programsprovide graduate-level science training plus professional skills valued by employers [2]. Theadvantages of PSM degrees include career preparation, practical experience, high employability,networking opportunities, specialized knowledge, and lower cost versus a PhD. The PSM alignswith best practices proposed for master's degrees by higher education organizations [3], [4], [5].MTSU's PSM program (MSPS degree) meets the requirements for formal PSM affiliation [6].The interdisciplinary MSPS integrates science and

In one course, project-based learning (PBL)was used to teach pre-service teachers engineering design and fabrication. Such project-basedapproaches allow pre-service teachers to personally engage with project-based learning, a pre-requisite for its use in their future classrooms [5]. Furthermore, the use of hands-on activities canpromote learning and a positive attitude toward the subject [5].
