In case alaboratory is used, a fee is charged to the consultant to cover basic material and energy. There isanother professor in charge of mentoring the students’ team for a determined period as volunteerwork, in order to help refining their proposed projects to their clients.The next step is to have students working in teams at the offices, available to receive

The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid and robust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and possibly inaccurate? His quest for answers to the key question are anchored in three projects, namely, Integrated Realization of Robust, Resilient and Flexible Networks Integrated Realization of Engineered Materials and Products Managing Organized and Disorganized Complexity: Exploration of the Solution Space His current education focus is on creating and implementing, in partnership with industry, a curriculum for

those they will find aftergraduation.Project based learning in one form or another has been around for many years. In 1959, JohnDewey came out with one of the first formal articles discussing project-based learning. In it heexplained how he taught students in his laboratory through a process of inquiry, where he gavethem real-world scenarios and problems to solve. When the students felt engaged and invested ina real, legitimate project, Dewey observed that the students gained greater understanding of thematerial3. Today it is commonly accepted that project based learning environments possess fivemain components: a driving question, exploration of the driving question through authentic,situated inquiry, a community of collaboration that includes

We knew the girls would be using an AFMmicroscope as part of the hands-on learning at the camp, thus combining a conversation aboutrace and ancestry with the ability to observe differences in hair under the microscope would helpstudents connect social issues with laboratory methods. As the GAMES girls tend to be abouttwo thirds white, we also thought introducing small group and intergroup interaction would be animportant way to engage on this topic12.We began the lesson, led by Dr. Kathryn Clancy, with a discussion question: What do
