The instructors note how students struggled at the beginning of thesemester, but note “the culture created by this environment embraces intelligent fast failure.”Another example of a full course is OLS 35000 Creativity in business and Industry [49]. Thecourse included a Creative Problem Solving assignment that required individual students to“identify a personal or work related problem and construct a physical model to represent theproblem and its creative solution.” The models were constrained to be constructed primarily ofpopsicle sticks (>70%). The physical model was found to be an important facet in facilitatinggrowth in students’ creativity, based largely on student survey responses. A

Ownership is importantto the authenticity STEM notebooks, and teachers should provide enough scaffolding forstudents to learn from using them, while also giving them autonomy [18]. From a study ofengineering in elementary school classrooms, Hertel, Cunningham, and Kelly [8] concluded thatstudent notebooks are able to scaffold engineering learning and epistemic practices ofengineering. When science notebooks are used by teachers in an experienced way, they will besituated within structured learning experiences, and teachers will use the information collectedby notebooks for dynamic understanding through collaboration [19]. However, this use may notalways be reflected in teacher practice. In a study of teacher

In order to ensure that the United Statesremains a leader in technological research, education, industry, and innovation, it is imperativethat schools and industries reach a diverse talent pool to foster STEM pursuits (NSB, 2010).However, STEM demographics are nowhere near a close representation of the U.S. population,with excessively low percentages of women and minorities. The science and engineering laborforce is comprised of only 26% women of all races, while White men make up a disproportionate55% (NSF, 2011). Reasons for this imbalance are not due to lack of ability, as the performancegap between genders in math and science consistently narrows. Instead

The role of the teacher in both areas is less likely to be a lecturer, but rather asa coach or a guide that assists students in completing a longer-term project. Many capstonecourses have an industry component and can even have an entrepreneurial component. Thepurpose of this paper is to compare the teaching beliefs and practices of instructors of capstonedesign courses and entrepreneurship courses. The following research questions will be used tocompare the beliefs of capstone versus entrepreneurship instructors: 1. What are the teaching practices

In contrast,the fixation effects for the students in industrial and interior design were only marginallysignificant. They suggested that the complex pictorial example provided to the designers mighthave affected them in using their own cognitive resources, so that they relied more on theprovided examples in order to create a design solution.There are multiple theories of how ideas are generated in design.
