engineering careers and curriculum is well-known. ABET lists“an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create acollaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives” as astudent outcome in its outcomes-based assessment of engineering curricula [1]. Early careerengineers often describe effective teamwork and interpersonal skills as the most importantcompetencies in their jobs [2, 3]. The formation of teams can significantly affect how well a teamworks together, and team formation and function have been studied in engineering curriculum fordecades [4–6]. Previous research has shown that teams are more effective when instructors createthe teams considering students

Hoffman’s [27] Theory of Empathy and MoralDevelopment works around Hoffman’s accepted definition of empathy as “the involvement ofpsychological processes that make a person have feelings that are more congruent with another’ssituation than his own situation” [27, pp. 30].

Third,with the right software, ABMs can produce rich visualizations to help learners interpret and learnfrom the output of a model.1.3 Learning Theories: Model-Based LearningModel building is at the core of scientific practice [18], [19]. Modeling theory itself began as aninvestigation of how science works and has since grown into an educational theory of its ownwith many taking the stance that modeling should be at the core of science education [20]. Thegoal is for students to learn disciplinary knowledge while also gaining procedural knowledge ofhow to use, create and assess models.Our discussion of modeling in science refers to the

ImprovementFor the Fundamental Needs advanced study, it will be important for additional lessons to becreated beyond the wheel. Because design is for systems as well as for objects, perhaps the nextlesson can be focused on the evolution of a system such as the assembly line production of theModel T. It may be helpful to engage in focused lessons that require the assessment of variousassets and liabilities within a design, and to further contextualize these discussions by imagininga situation, a people, a location and a time for which the design is being created. This will likelylead to a deeper appreciation of the sophistication of even very ‘simple’ designs.4 The Role of the Sensorial While Teaching: Science’s Relationship to EngineeringThe narrative

2008, Microchip Inc. introduced a 2.4 GHz RF transceiver module called theMRF24J40MA that provides several attractive benefits6,7. These benefits include a compactpackage design, low-cost, and easy to use product with a small additional parts count thatincludes all components less the power supply. Integrating Microchip’s RF transceiver modulewith the PIC trainer does not require any extra hardware. Thus, the software development of SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface)14 and protocols designs become the focus of the RF conceptlearning.
