bigaggie said:So I have this question, and while I may not be in a position to apply it now, it is something I'm curious about. But for you guys who've already graduated and are engineers and have been for some time, how do you motivate yourself to keep learning? What sources do you utilize for these purposes? I just have a hard time visualizing anyone reading a textbook without someone forcing them to.
Defennnder said:What kind of reference books would you be reading as engineers? They're not like theory-laden textbooks of engineering courses but more of dry engineering catalog specifications or operating manual types right?
Learning outside of the classroom refers to any educational experiences that occur outside of a traditional classroom setting. This can include field trips, hands-on activities, and other real-world experiences that supplement classroom learning.
Learning outside of the classroom allows students to apply what they have learned in a real-world context, making it more meaningful and relevant. It also promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and social skills.
Examples of learning outside of the classroom include field trips to museums, nature centers, or historical sites, internships or job shadowing opportunities, and service learning projects. Outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and team building exercises can also be considered as learning outside of the classroom.
Learning outside of the classroom has been shown to improve student engagement, motivation, and academic achievement. It also helps students develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter and fosters a love for learning.
There are many ways to incorporate learning outside of the classroom into traditional education. Teachers can plan field trips or invite guest speakers to supplement classroom lessons. They can also incorporate hands-on activities or projects that require students to apply their knowledge in a practical setting. Online resources and virtual field trips can also provide valuable learning experiences outside of the classroom.
