uploaded to a class blog. The formal assignment was to create a websiteexplaining some aspect(s) of German manufacturing and technology.Students toured as many sites as possible with cameras and camcorders provided by theCollege’s Engineering Communication Studio,10 documenting their excursions, with the specificintent of sharing them as a form of primary research. Typically, as shown in Figure 7, roles wereassigned (videographer, photographer) before each excursion, so that other students could focusmore on what they heard and saw. This division of labor worked well, and kept the focus ondocumentation of the trip through visual means. The videos were shared on the class blog, butwere also used later when the students composed their websites

The results of thissurvey suggest that knowing more about the structure did in fact make it more appealing in anumber of ways.In the future, the researchers are interested in using various aspects of the sculpture in a numberof different courses to determine if the sculpture, as a learning tool, can not only improve thedegree to which people think about technical, social, and environmental issues, but the degree towhich they can actually learn more about these issues.

[A8/ Policy Administrator 1]Options like intermittent time, as well as taking advantage of the policy in general are automaticonce a person fills out the proper forms.
