Quality of student works in both the labs and project were beyond satisfactory. %70.3 of the students received acceptable grades 80% or (B-) better due to not turning in some of their home-works. This can be explained with students’ interest in doing. Their learning style was kinesthetic and showed less interest in written assignments. 95.83% of the students earned a grade of 80% (B-) or better from their examinations including a take home examination and open-note/books final examination.

In addition, asimilar approach was done by another group of researchers [5] who introduced engineeringproject-based learning to grade school students and determined that the students’ interest inSTEM careers increased after their exposure.The second part of career preparedness is soft skills such as interpersonal communications, theability to work well with others, professionalism, ethics and others similar facets.

The expected outcomeis to provide a more precise direction regarding enhancing different engineering majors’computational thinking abilities.Literature ReviewIn recent years, the growing relevance of computational skills has created a demand for highercompetency in CT. The term “computational thinking” gained attention beyond the computerscience community after Wing’s 2006 article, which outlined how CT benefits everyone, not justcomputer scientists. CT shares many common practices with other STEM fields, making itwidely applicable in integrated STEM. CT is widely described as the thought processes involvedin defining problems and coming up with solutions such that the solutions take on a form

This was a more realistic scenario as to howLabWrite is likely to be implemented on a larger scale.

One of the primary goals of a Ph.D. program is to prepare a graduatestudent to conduct an independent research study and more importantly, to conduct researchwork on his her own upon graduation and publish research papers in technical journals orconference proceedings. Publications in technical journals require that the work be peeredreviewed. So, why does a student have to complete his or her dissertation before he or she learnshow to write a successful technical journal?Fourth, as noted before the format for the traditional Ph.D. dissertations does not require thestudent’s

It has beensuggested this loss of practical knowledge has had a negative impact not only on the ability ofthe engineering graduate to perform successfully in an industrial environment, but also onengineering graduate education in that students are not well prepared to participate in successfulor useful research endeavors.Another academic consideration is the necessity for and the responsibility to
