even though STEM careers earn 25% more [13]. Again, studentsmight be learning the material well, but there is a struggle when they try to apply it in a real-world situation. They lack the practical knowledge to be prepared to take on a real-worldsituation, and instead wonder how learning mathematics will help them in real life.To solve this problem, schools across the U.S. need to start implementing STEM programs,however, one of the difficulties in implementing STEM programs is making the material learnedin the classroom relatable to real-life situations.

they do not immediately see the relevance to their chosen major 9. To make matters worse,that relevance may not even be seen (or discovered) during a student’s entire program of study.Yet practicing engineers from all disciplines need a solid foundation in circuit concepts toeffectively design, test, and manufacture modern systems for biomedical, civil, environmental,and mechanical applications. Regardless of whether the course targets ECE majors, other engineering majors, or both,student questioning of the relevance of Circuits knowledge is of great concern when engineeringis becoming ever more interdisciplinary. While evidence of this as an effect is often indirect oranecdotal, we note that Circuits is normally among the courses with

However, most of them struggle to learn and use Englishproficiently. This struggle to learn and use English poses various challenges. For example, suchstudents struggle to describe their plans and thoughts to their college peers and colleagues atwork. Also, it is mostly harder for such students to make their place in academic or industrycareers. Some of these difficulties arise because students cannot identify sentence structures ordifferences between various types of sentences in English. Writing in complete sentences is oneway to convey

During the four-year undergraduate engineering program studied, 1974-1978, the students had worked over 3000 homework problems, they had observed about 1000 sample solutions being worked on the board by either the teacher or by peers, and they had worked many open-ended problems.” “ In other words
