video Steve Jobs’s 2005 commencement address at Stanford University asan example of a very personal life narrative from a leader in technology. Engineering studentscan especially relate to this speech and I ask students to attend to the nature of his stories andimportance of discovering strengths and a meaningful sense of life’s purpose. After thisdiscussion, I then introduce the RBS assignment as a structured methodology to begin thejourney toward learning one’s distinctive strengths and life narrative. The following provides myactual instructions for the assignment (in red) and brief explanations and suggestions.Phase One of the RBS Assignment Step One: Solicit feedback for this assignment 1.

prototype version of Earthquake.8.1.3. Design phaseThe completed prototype was included as an activity in a science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) teacher workshop. This professional development workshop for secondaryschool teachers was held in the summer of 2012. Fourteen teachers (n=14) from across the U.S.volunteered to play the game and participate in a subsequent group-interview. We video-recorded four game groups of teachers. After playing the game, we then facilitated theparticipation of each group in an audio-recorded 30 minute interview to capture their playingexperiences. Open-ended research questions guided discussions about mechanics andeducational relevance: What did you learn about earthquake engineering from playing
