Since vectors are the basis for any advancement in physics andengineering courses the cornerstone of any physics regimen is a concrete and comprehensiveintroduction to vectors.

The first is that allstudents are referred to as “cadets” due to their status as active-duty members of the military—specifically the United States Corps of Cadets, a special component of the United States Army.All cadets attend

López-Fernández el al.3 at the Universidad 2Politécnica de Madrid in Spain highlights the effectiveness of teacher designed games in comparisonto conventional lectures. The study shows that students taught via games performed just as high asthose subject to a traditional lecture. However, students showed an overwhelming preference forlearning via games rather than a traditional lecture.As demonstrated by these studies, there is much room in the education sphere for gamified learningprograms that can spur an interest in students. Such programs are particularly well-suited to foreignlanguage education, where frequent interaction with the language

Water festivals are half day field trips where teachers bring theirclasses to learn about water through interactive games, activities, and presentations. Generally,water education lines up with the 4th and 5th grade curriculum and this field trip enhances whatstudents are already learning about in class. The water festival model has proven to be verysuccessful with over 1,000 students generally attending each festival. This model is now copiedacross the state.In 2017 POW began researching ways to expand interactive environmental educationopportunities for high school

Clearly,projects such as these are central to developing the design, problem solving and project manage-ment skills that are lacking in the traditional engineering coursework. Often missing, however, inthe industry and faculty sponsored design projects, is the spirit of invention, innovation and en-trepreneurship. The spirit of entrepreneurship is best promoted by providing students with theopportunity to propose their own original enterprises.

However, creativity is difficult to analyze and critique.
