In general, an internship canimprove the academic learning status of a student by a) providing more profound learning of subjects incomparison to the limited subject introduction in the classroom b) enabling the students’ critical thinkingon complex problems of real projects c) providing an ideal and engaging continuous learning environmentfor the students [31]. Internships can also benefit the universities. Based on Routon and Walker’s [30]study, for universities, internships can increase students’ satisfaction rates, graduate school enrollmentrates, and coursework retention [30]. Employers also benefit from the internship programs. For them,internships can provide an

When that question isanswered correctly, then solving for the distance between those two points (Question 2), asshown in Figure 4 (b), would be asked as to calculate the length of the ladder. Question 3, asshown in Figure 4(c), asks the inclination/slope of the ladder the worker must climb. If all thethree questions are answered then the student would be able to see an animation of the workerclimbing the ladder. However, if any of the three questions are incorrect or unanswered, then theworker will not climb the ladder, that means the player did not score all three points. a. Part 1 – Question 1
