hedid not sustain the students’ interest with several hands-on design activities, such as building anairplane, a tower, a bridge, guest speakers, field trips, readings about the design process, andteam presentations, Mr. Q. was not able to pay enough attention to some aspects of the classwhich inhibited the success of the program. For example, the video presentations or activitieswere selected to reflect the interests of the students, as indicated by student questions ordiscussions. Gender and minority interests were not explicitly taken into consideration. Forexample, most videos focused on disasters resulting from engineering mishaps videos that mightshow the relevance of engineering to society. Furthermore, difficulties were encountered
