solving engineering problems, in addition to theprofessional knowledge, you also need to take into consideration other aspects like the cost ofthe solution, profitability of the product, the needs of consumers. I believe after the whole process,I have learned a lot.”—JohnCommercial AwarenessAs can be seen from John’s case, in addition to considerations of the technological aspects ofproblem-solving, students showed the awareness to estimate the cost of the solutions, to understandthe needs of consumers, and even the profitability of engineering products. Such awareness of thecommercial aspects of engineering projects were further demonstrated in other students’ PBLlearning activities,“You needed to put forward something new, something that hasn’t

Gamification Framework for Exploratory Learning in Higher STEM EducationAbstract:One important objective of higher education is to foster a lifelong learning mindset in students.This is often achieved by encouraging them to delve into topics and techniques that go beyondthe basics of a course. However, instructors often find it challenging to motivate students toengage in this type of exploratory learning. In this paper, we present a gamification frameworkspecifically designed to promote exploratory learning in STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics) courses while also enhancing inclusion and student engagement.The framework provides a comprehensive guide on how to turn a course into a role-playinggame
