high school.However, this can be difficult in the United States since engineering courses and thecorresponding interactive design projects for practical engineering products are not alwaysincluded in middle school, even high school curriculum. In this paper, we try to explore thepossibility of developing a short-time workshop with an interesting engineering project whichcan motivate middle or high school female students to learn engineering, and eventually pursuecareers in engineering. For the workshop, we need to consider two factors to develop it: (1) thetime period allowed for the students to complete the project and (2) the expense of the projectproduct. The workshop was included in the event, Next Generation Science, Technology

’ requirements, generating concepts,investigating/testing concepts, building prototypes and delivering a final product. Often thestructure and skills of the engineering design process are learned through project-based learning.There are many ways to carry out project-based learning, but in general the design process andskills are learned while carrying out an actual design project. Some of the lecture time isoccasionally devoted to teaching engineering design skills and structure. While that basic approach to engineering design has been the norm for many years theconsiderations in the process have been expanding and evolving with the growth of thesustainability initiative that unfolded in the 1990s.4 The ever increasing demand for food, water

situations.From previous experience with the Engineering of Everyday Things project [6], the hardwareportion is the easy part. Identifying the concept and creating appropriate worksheets is thedifficult part, and will probably take several iterations. It is important that the worksheets areclear and enhance the students learning instead of causing confusion. Poor worksheet design caneasily result in the students spending more time trying to figure out what is being asked than inactually thinking about the concept.One of the key features of the worksheets will be one or more questions to determine if thestudents can transfer the knowledge they should be gaining from the exercises to other situationswhich do not necessarily look like the exercise.
