After this mentor textdiscussion, the students embark on a design task and create their notebooks as they work. Mid-design share-outs or gallery walks of the notebooks are important in this phase. Finally, the thirdphase involves students reviewing their notebooks with their design team, ideally as they preparea report or other more formal written artifact about their design, and the teacher and whole classof students reviewing multiple notebooks to reflect on design processes and phenomena.    Other supporting

And some of this stuff—cell phones, microwave ovens, automobiles—ispart and parcel of our lives. We can hardly imagine life without technology, all products ofengineering ingenuity. But is technology merely a tool or a representation of social, political, andethical values? Do our artifacts reflect culture or help to create it? Or do technologies do both?This paper explores the latter proposition: that artifacts

Administering the surveysmultiple times during a course offers a context for students to reflect on their own learningprogress and provides useful assessment data to the instructor. Knowledge survey applicationsdocumented in the science education literature include their use for both formative andsummative assessment of student learning, their use by faculty in assessing the effectiveness ofteaching methods, and

The environment set up by theinstructor “valued and promoted knowledge building” through explicit opportunities forreflection. Among other things, the instructor asked students to reflect in the middle of class,wrote those reflections on the board to encourage others to reflect, and assigned “learning essays”that focused on “moving students from an analytic or 'bits and pieces' understanding of thedesign process to a synthetic or conceptual understanding of the phases of informed decision-making” [7

Comparisons of performance results obtained by different groups with a common pumpallows for reflection on discrepancies that may have resulted from differences in experimentaltechniques, care taken with measurements, and differences in compensation for various sourcesof loss (such as hydraulic friction in the pump discharge tubing) which are not necessarilydirectly attributable to the capabilities of the basic pump.IntroductionAn ability to plan, execute, and interpret experimental tests is an important part of the skill setfor engineering technology
