). It is very important for aneducator to make the students fully understand the problem before they have the chance to thinkof creative solutions while keeping in mind the importance of real-world application. By havingthe students understand the theory by means of application, the development of creative thinkingtakes place, transforming the students into better problem solvers (O'Brien and Abulencia, 2010). In a conventional classroom, lower levels of Bloom’s taxonomy: knowledge,comprehension, and application are practiced (Bloom et al., 1956).

While there are a variety of formulae and procedural ideas to be learnedand understood, it is also important to develop conceptual understanding of key course ideas.Active learning supports students’ performance in the STEM disciplines as compared totraditional lecture [1], particularly for students from historically marginalized groups [2], and cansupport the development of conceptual understanding.

Page 26.869.12Observing the reactants and products listed in Table 2 demonstrated the need for the students toproperly balance chemical equations and to be more steadfast in literature review. Specifically,the students proposed that acetylene was a product of the reaction between sodium borohydride,water and acetic acid. However, sodium borohydride is not known to reduce acetic acid and theacid’s presence is there only to reduce the pH of the system and facilitate faster hydrogenrelease. It became clear that more time spent on chemical principles would improve this aspect ofthe design experience. However, the use of infrared thermography to observe reactionprogression in real time is an interesting application that could gain traction as an

Campell20 uses an enticing approach in hisuse of “model making and breaking”. Students design structures to strict specifications and thenbuild and test the structures to the point of breaking. The appeal to the student is high because itis fun to break things, and the relevance is there for structural engineers, but mechanicalengineering students may still struggle to see the connection to their careers. Sophomore-levelstudents do not yet have the experience to see that the tools used in analyzing structures will alsobe useful in analyzing moving parts--unless we give specific examples.Some real-world problems
