The discrete version requires the user to input themagnitude and angle of the phasor and press a calculate button; the continuous version uses asimilar input screen but allows the user to drag a point to establish the phasor magnitude andangle. Although this pilot study examines only a pair of tightly-coupled programs, further workis planned to determine if certain subjects inherently lend themselves better to discrete orcontinuous input methods.Figure 1: Two almost-identical interactive programs purporting to teach phasor concepts.

ministries’ action plans. In this sense, it can be said that, during theWorkers’ Party's administrations, university extension becomes a space for the articulationbetween the State and society [3], [4].Also, in the early 1990s, the solidarity economy movement gains momentum nationwide. That ismainly caused by the increasing rates of poverty and unemployment, which are some of theconsequences of the implementation of neoliberal politics in the country. In response to that,many social initiatives are tried, from collecting food destined to feed the millions who werefacing starvation, to actions that sought job creation. In 2001, with the first edition of the WorldSocial Forum, the multiple actors behind such poverty mitigation/overcoming initiatives

(IDEs)For this study, an Individual Design Experience (IDE) was developed to mitigate pre-existingdisparities in hands-on prototyping tasks in introductory engineering design courses. The IDEproject required students to create a child’s pull toy manufactured primarily out of wood andcomplied with ASTM toy safety standards. IDE learning objectives were: (1) to develop andexecute a manufacturing plan to create complex shapes from common stock materials, e.g., stocklumber, dowels, and rounds; (2) to identify and use common hardware like screws and springs tocreate a multi-part assembly; and (3) to confidently use hand tools and low precision powertools, e.g., power drill, band saw, and sanders.

In DOE the experimenter changes controllable variables of thesystem or process and then analyzes output data to make inferences about which variables are significantand responsible for the changes observed, as shown in Figure 1 [2].
