Some axioms of the EBT “system thinking” inlcude: everything is asystem; every system is part of a larger system, every system is composed of smaller systems,every system exists in parallel with other systems.Four Approach Questions:Involve People: the first EBT phase is centered on the question of “who are the possiblestakeholders and resource people to involve?” Keeping the three EBT foundation questions inmind, the goal of this phase is to seek for an outcome composed of two specific actions: (1)getting the right people involved, and (2) ensuring future acceptance of

From the references, the author builds an annotatedbibliography. The annotated bibliography can include quoted passages, summary statements, andideas for the scenario storyline. The author then builds an outline of the scenario content usingthe major dimensions of EPSA rubric (Appendix B) as a guide. While this does not produce atemporal outline, this outline ensures that the author has uncovered and synthesized sufficienttopical content with respect to the dimensions of the EPSA rubric. It is a good idea now for theauthor to visualize a typical student discussion with respect to this

In the traditional format for these courses, there is a weekly one hourlecture which introduces or reviews concepts for the upcoming laboratory. The goal of thelecture component is to teach the students good engineering practice regarding lab work,including pre-lab preparation, lab procedures, and post-lab practices. The objectives for thelecture are to (a) review/explain needed concepts; (b) demonstrate the required analysis or designtechniques; and (c) introduce or reinforce appropriate lab or equipment procedures.

This taught them about turning, program modularity, errorchecking, and the importance of testing small portions of code.The second project was a video project. The campers were asked to identify a real-worldproblem and design a solution using robotics. Using the Linkbots, they then had to create a videoto explain the problem and their solution. This project was designed to show them how they canuse their skills in engineering, computing, and robotics to solve problems, something girls seemto identify with.
