Abstract
Setting the stage to challenge students throughout their educational career is paramount. Project-based learning and teaching allow educators to enable students to think, learn, reflect, and act upon their own prescribed course of actions. This type of education recognizes that this method teaching and learning is relative and dynamic to the context of the situation. There is no set problem set or definitive answer. This method of teaching more closely resembles what occurs beyond academic institutions and paced an onus on the individual student and student teams. Only through this blended student teacher methodology will the process and results of new ideas and novel innovations be discoverable.
