methodologies for student motivation, I came started looking for aneffective course structure for STEM students and landed upon an interesting study [1] whichfocused on engineering courses but claimed to be equally applicable to STEM courses. Sincesuch course structure in STEM were not existent, I employed it in my courses to test itseffectiveness for science courses, specifically, to courses in chemistry. It became a success storyin terms of student learning and success, which motivated me to further think and innovate and Istarted asking students to make TikTok videos of the experiments performed by each lab groupin the labs. This proved beneficial for student engagement and learning.3.2 Examples of Teaching and Learning Changes Implemented:Lab

Thus, the team setout to systematically investigate if math is commonly used to inform decision-making in K-12engineering activities, as would be expected of professional engineers. Such insight is useful forcollege engineering instructors, particularly those that teach first-year coursework, to betterillustrate the authentic use of mathematics in their own curricula.Relevant LiteraturePlenty of

willingly take up the approach, The freedom that students experience in becoming independent problem-solvers by applying their knowledge to relevant projects provides them the boost in their confidence fortackling challenges and value optimism in achieving solutions. Hence, application-based projects are a reliabletool for the overall development of the students in a learning environment. II. APPLICATION BASED PROJECTS The need for the inclusion of the application-based projects in the engineering curriculum, is best describedby a popular quotation: “Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember, Involve me and I learn.”The aim of this paper is to establish the role of the integration of application-based
