The latter is similar to the observed impact of leadingSTEM activities for elementary school students on high-schoolers and mentors who foundthemselves empowered to expand their roles from learners and take on more leadership roles(e.g., Battel, et. al. (2021), Mandala, et al. (2022)). In addition, recognizing that some teachersassumed their role to be different than a learner, suggests that a discussion on the importance ofcollective participation, framed in Desimone’s framework, might enable additional learningsooner by the classroom

Such research work, however, hasfocused primarily on the potential benefit for students, and little work has been done on thebenefits of flipped classrooms for faculty — especially first year faculty.New engineering faculty are under increasing pressure to teach successfully in the classroom intheir first year of academia. Different methods have been employed improve success of first yearfaculty [3, 4]. However, there has been minimal research into the possibility of first year facultyusing a flipped classroom model to improve their teaching effectiveness. The flipped classroommodel offers many advantages for student engagement and active learning [2, 5], but for firstyear faculty, the flipped classroom pedagogical model is often

The importance of model-making relies on its possible positive outcomes in theimprovement of learning in higher education students. Project-based learning is an instructionalmethod where students are asked to participate in projects and fabricate real-world products inorder to engage in knowledge construction [17,19]. Furthermore, according to other studies madein this field, the significance of that failure is paramount. When faced with something that didn'tsucceed as planned, it's essential to analyze the lessons learned and progress forward.
