Quoted: David Shaffer, an educational psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and his colleagues are using a similar enquiry-based approach to develop a virtual internship for undergraduate engineering students. ?When kids show up for their first year they?re all excited to design and build stuff,? says Shaffer. But first they have to spend two years taking maths and physics, and many get discouraged. Instead, Shaffer and his team get them building things right away.
