They will also take away experience with alternative assessment techniques,including the application of scientific principles in an engineering design challenge setting, aswell as the process of reviewing learned material to construct new lesson plans.Workshop Description. Please provide a detailed description of the proposed workshop that, atminimum, explicitly addresses the following (maximum 4,000 characters):         a. Learning objectives         b. Hands-on activities and interactive exercises         c. Materials that participants can take with them         d. Practical application for teachers and outreach staffa. Participants will explore the field of statics in a hands-on setting, apply statics principles todesign a structure capable of bearing maximal loads, and finally reflect on newly gainedknowledge to design a lesson plan aimed at teaching statics principles to younger students.b. This workshop will include 3 phases: learn, build, and review.       Learn (30 min):       Working in groups of 2-3, participants will be given time to build two separate structures       from 8.5 x 11 paper and scotch tape, according to clear instructions. After building each       type of structure, participants will weight-test each structure and record the maximum       load prior to mechanical failure. Participants will then regroup and participate in a class       discussion outlining underlying statics principles that explain why one design performs       better than the other under mechanical loading.       Build (30 min):       Using the provided materials, participants work in the same groups to build a structure       that stands at least 1.5 inches off the table and can hold the most amount of weight.       Provided materials include one piece of 8.5 x 11 computer paper, 2 feet of string, and 1       foot of scotch tape. The build process will include a 10-minute planning time, during       which groups are encouraged to sketch their designs, and conduct small-scale tests on       design components. After deciding on a structure, participants will be given 20 minutes       to build their design. Finally, all designs will be tested, and a winner of the design       challenge determined. In addition to providing participants with an opportunity to apply       their newly gained knowledge of statistics, the “build” phase of this project gives       participants experience with the general engineering design process, including iterations       of prior designs, adhering to design criteria, and operating within externally determined       design constraints.       Review (15 min):2015-ASEE-K-12-Proposal-Form_DrexelGK12.docxPage 3 of 8                    WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                    Saturday, June 13, 2015                                    8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.                                 Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WA       Working in the same groups, participants will create a new lesson aimed at teaching       younger students one statics principle addressed previously in the workshop. A lesson       template will be provided, and participants will be clear and concise in filling out each       section of the template. The ultimate deliverable of this phase is a participant-composed       lesson plan that can be provided, along with appropriate materials, to a high school or       middle-school teacher for immediate use his or her classroom.c. All participant-composed lesson plans will be made available to all participants upon close ofthe workshop.d. This activity serves to (1) introduce an engineering topic, (2) allow participants to practiceand apply the taught content within the context of a traditional engineering design challenge, and(3) require participants to review the content and consider how they might teach this content tosomeone else. This learn/build/review model is an excellent tool for reinforcing student learningand can be applied by teachers and outreach staff is their further educational endeavors.2015-ASEE-K-12-Proposal-Form_DrexelGK12.docxPage 4 of 8                     WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                     Saturday, June 13, 2015                                     8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.                                  Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WAAuthentic Engineering Connection. Identify and describe how you will explicitly address theways in which your lesson or activity is representative of the processes, habits of mind andpractices used by engineers, or is demonstrative of work in specific engineering fields.i At leastone of those must be within the first four listed, below; i.e., do not only check “other”. Check allthat apply:         Use of an engineering design process that has at least one iteration/improvement         Attention to specific engineering habits of mind         Attention to engineering practices (as described in the NGSS/Framework and as         practiced by engineers)       X Attention to specific engineering careers or fields related to the lesson/activity         Other (please describe below)Provide a description of how you will explicitly address these aspects of authentic engineering inyour workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):Many of these aspects of authentic engineering are directly addressed during the “build” phase ofthe workshop. Applying knowledge to construct a paper structure capable of carrying the highestload requires the use of engineering design processes with at least one iteration/improvement.When planning their design, participants are expected to conduct small tests of designcomponents and tailor their final design accordingly. Similarly, specific engineering habits ofmind are addressed in this section of the workshop: designs must follow pre-determined criteriaand fit within specific constraints, such as limited building supplies. Identifying and operatingwithin such criteria and constraints is an integral component of the engineering design process.Throughout the workshop, the participants will naturally experience and practice all eight of thescience and engineering practices as the NGSS Framework lays them out. Participation in thedesign challenge requires a clear definition of the problem and construction and testing ofmodels of the final design. Evidence-based argument and mathematical thinking are requiredduring this stage as well. Finally, participants will construct and test the planned design,providing an opportunity for data collection. During the testing portion, comparisons will bemade between different groups’ designs and their performance under loading, based on thecollected data. Finally, the final write-up activity provides participants with an opportunity toexercise evaluation and communication skills.Lastly, this workshop provides an excellent framework for discussing careers within the fields ofcivil and mechanical engineering. Follow-up activities could include a discussion or descriptionof load analyses of bridges, building structures, automotive components, and aviationcomponents, among others.2015-ASEE-K-12-Proposal-Form_DrexelGK12.docxPage 5 of 8                     WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                     Saturday, June 13, 2015                                     8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.                                  Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WADiversity. This year is the American Society for Engineering Education’s “Year of Action onDiversity.” It is essential that we have a diverse engineering workforce to solve diverseproblems. To do that and to have an engineering-literate public, it is essential that we reach everypreK-12 student with high-quality engineering education, drawing on issues of access and equityin the classroom and in the curriculum. Reviewers would like to know how your proposedworkshop will address diversity.Provide a description of how you will explicitly address diversity – e.g., diversity with respect togender/sex, ethnicity or race, special education inclusion, socio-economic status, or LGBT status– in your workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):Our workshop is a direct representation of diversity in engineering, and we believe that extendedencouragement along with the sharing of our past experiences will further reinforce thatengineering and science is a human problem and not a privilege directed at any specific race,gender, social, or economic status. We understand and practice that tough problems requirediverse perspectives and that everyone's opinions must be respected and heard in order forprogress to occur.Group activities such as this workshop require cooperation between individuals of diverse andvarying backgrounds—emphasis will be placed on the importance of listening to and discussingevery group members’ suggestions and input.Finally, hands-on activities of this nature present the instructor with ample opportunities toencourage all participants, including those traditionally under-represented in engineeringdisciplines and those who may feel as though they do not belong in engineering fields. Wepersonally have watched shy or uneasy participants initially express discomfort with engineeringdisciplines, only to grow confidence as they successfully build the first structures in the “learn”phase and progress to produce thoughtful and meaningful designs in the “build” phase of theproject.Are there any online components to the proposal or presentation?
