They were thenrequired to create instructional materials such that a high school aged student could recreate theproject. For the course, all students purchased the Sparkfun Inventor’s Kit which included amicrocontroller and an array of electronic components including sensors and motors [11]. Teamsalso had access to additional sensors and motors that could be used.The project took place over seven weeks with the following weekly deliverables:Deliverable Week 1: 1.

The design of theseEL components will be based on revised Kolb’s theory of EL, which include contextually richconcrete experience, critical reflective observation, contextually specific abstractconceptualization, and pragmatic active experimentation. The vertical integration of ELcomponents can supplement classroom learning with real-world problem solving, whoseoutcomes include professional communication, teamwork, self-guided learning, observation, andreflection.The PIs will develop and implement EL components in six unique courses at the CEMTprogram, including five regular lecture-based courses and one existing EL course

They described how these“specific strategic bodies of information” [4, p. 314], were utilized to ensure and maintain thewell-being of their families.
