Each group also prepared an oral presentation and a video oftheir fish pond or oven in action. These videos ran while the girls stood in front of the posters,giving their oral presentations, to judges, parents, and teachers from their home schools on thefinal engineering design competition day. We also did things to make this feel a bit more like atraditional camp - and not just academics – such as making ice cream, making shrink-dinks,going to the playground, etc. We also included topics like college planning and building up thegirls’ social capital

Senior students attending engineering colleges in Lebanon(n=378) were surveyed to: assess their awareness and preparedness to earthquakes, to ascertainwhether there is a link among their awareness and preparedness, and to determine howengineering educational programs have affected their current awareness and preparedness.Although the findings indicate satisfactory seismic risk awareness across the majority ofparticipants, a poor level of earthquake preparedness was revealed.

However, if we instead analyze thesingle pair as an in-depth case study and look closely at their conversations in the context of theimposed material and temporal limits, it is possible to see how their responses to the failuresproceed logically from their ideas about how the physical world works and what has occurred inthe design process. This is consistent with the Piagetian position that within a localized contextchildren behave logically e.g., 5,6.

For every outcome not meeting its benchmark, action plans weredevised to address the shortcomings and close the loop on the assessment process.

These factors are critical in understanding if the project will be sustainable in theproposed locale. During the design and planning stages, a DCP can help save the project teamtime and effort by making suggestions concerning the practicality of early ideas.
