Go-alongs were supplemented by semi- structured interviews whereI queried grassroots community members regarding their motivations for and experiences duringthe design and development of particular innovations. I also conducted archival research ondocuments pertaining to the design, development and use of grassroots technological innovations(e.g. summary reports on grassroots community members and their innovations, reports on theresults of laboratory tests on the material properties of innovations, market research and prior artsearches on innovations, correspondence between grassroots organizations, design

For example, in one unit, students were introduced during lecture to the concept ofcochlear implants. Students learned about how the device itself works, including microphone, Page 26.1482.6microcontroller, digital signal processor, implanted electrodes, etc. They also learned about anddiscussed ethical issues surrounding cochlear implants from the perspective of both the medicalengineering and deaf

For example: “…I learned several techniques that were instrumental techniques, … analysis techniques…” (M-ENG) “I changed fields when I started my postdoc. So I’ve had to learn a completely new set of experimental techniques and laboratory skills and those kinds of things that I didn’t have before.” (M-SCI)When describing the professional skills they learned, they mentioned improving theircommunication and writing skills, and teamwork/collaboration skills, as well as their abilities tomentor and work with students.Another benefit of a postdoc position was being able to focus on research and

Through each iteration, both the curriculum and the environmentwere changed on the basis of the formative test results as we attempted to align the curriculumwith the realities of the classroom constraints. The successive curriculum redesigns were basedon multiple sources of data and feedback: task analysis and research on science content learning,alpha testing of the activities in the laboratory (without students), curriculum design with ourteachers during professional development workshops, and pilot testing curriculum in authenticcontexts (i.e., with our partner
