and other topics, engage students in high levelthinking and to show real applications to academic topics. Too often design is looked at as acomplex, expensive and technology-focused effort. This workshop introduces an easy andaffordable approach using materials found in every classroom. Human-Centered Design places afocus on people and how to get information from users. This interactive session will engageparticipants in activities used to teach human-centered design.The learning objectives are: 1: Describe Human-Centered Design 2: List at least 3 potential activities for Human-Centered Design in your classroom 3: Identify at least 3 ways students can learn how to design for usersWorkshop Description- Please provide a

or service-learning but these are not often connectedto the engineering, math or science. Linking these offers a multitude of opportunities to changethe conversation about STEM, engage the next generation of leaders and make our owncommunities a better place to live. It can also impact the diversity in our classrooms. Thisinteractive workshop engages participants in developing a plan for linking service-learning andSTEM. The Learning Objectives are:1: Describe at least 1 STEM community project2: List at least 3 standards that could be enhanced through service-learning3: Describe how to use reflection to enhance learning4: Describe at least 3 examples of engineering service-learning

solutions are generated andevaluated. The most reasonable one is modeled, tested, and modified. Students, as well asworkshop participants, need to explain their design in terms of available resources, performance,and possible modifications. In addition, students are responsible for engineering their ownmeaningful tests. Engineering “habits of mind”, based on NAE and NRC references, are generally thought of as(1) systems thinking, (2) creativity, (3) optimism, (4) collaboration, (5) communication, and (6)ethical considerations. The “Building a Better World” project incorporates all of these. Housingsolutions embody systems thinking since they are impacted by a complex mix of culturalimperatives, material resources, and natural events. Good design

an engineering design process to complete a challenge. Students design, build and test a puzzle.Students apply hand sketching and CAD modeling skills as part of an engineering design. Students testsolution time of a population sample then use statistical tools to analyze the level of challenge of a puzzle.Participants will design a portion of a puzzle using an engineering design process including handsketching. Participants will see examples of puzzles and how statistical analysis is applied to the project.The learning objectives for this activity are:1. Participants will use graphical, computer, physical and mathematical models as appropriate to represent or solve problems.2. Participants will fabricate a simple object from technical
