Students would make general observations about the device, thendisassemble it, discover how it works, and in some cases reverse engineer it. It was stressed thatprevious knowledge of electrical components was not required which made it easier for studentsto write a systems level diagram.Specifically, labs involved the use of a solar powered garden lamp and a disposable camera asthe focus of the systems-level thinking activities.

At the end of thecourse, students turned in all documentation created (in the form of several-inch-thick binders) aswell as bound reports of their research. Students were encouraged to use the reports whenapplying to internships as a way to show the research they had performed and evidence of theirrecordkeeping and writing skills.The entire course concluded with two final presentations of the student groups, with smaller, in-class presentations throughout the class to improve students’ public speaking skills.
