Question

Your class is using engineering principles to improve the design of football helmets to prevent brain injury. your teacher divides you into groups and gives you various supplies (such as tape, bubble wrap, and foam) to create, design, and build a new helmet. which of these is a benefit of this type of project in STEM education.

a. students participate and apply engineering principles
b. students become confident in working independently
c. students learn to follow steps provided by their teacher
d. students use household items to create new products​

Answer 1

a. students participate and apply engineering principles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rule out option B because the question states students are working in groups.

We can rule out option C because following directions, while appropriate, is not a benefit from STEM education specifically.

We can rule out option D because students are building off of a current design, not creating a new product.
