In fact, many researchers have investigated laboratory-based learning as a tool to mitigate retention and attrition issues [12-17].

If this split is attempted to bring inapplications, then considerable effort and expertise to bridge that gap is needed [11]. If this is not executedcorrectly, the result could leave students struggling leading to unproductive learning environments [12,13]. One topic within structural knowledge ripe for additional development is PT. Why PT? This isbecause PT is infrequently covered in many curriculums [1] yet it is a popular structural gravity system inmany parts of the United States [14].
