Design Process in a Collaborative Context (fundamental)Providing young learners a foundation in engineering design practices helps them aspire toaddress major challenges of the society and environment that they will face in the decades ahead,and to interest them in pursuing higher education in STEM fields. Such a foundation shouldinclude collaborative experiences because engineering practices are highly social andcommunication plays critical roles in design processes.1-5 In particular, communication amongteam members is a fundamental aspect of engineering design.6, 7 Yet, even undergraduatestudents often fail to recognize the inherently collaborative nature of engineering.8Preparing the next generation of engineers to meet the challenges and

For example, Sara described an engineer with the following words: I feel like she would try any material she thinks would work. She would also test it out a lot. She would write a lot of notes, so when other people look at her experiments or when she tries to show it to someone, she could show she did trial and error. And be like “This is why this is the best one I did, this is why I think it’s a better material to use.”Sara changed her perception of engineering as being male-oriented to a field were females arealso active participants.

This hands-on exercise enables high-schoolstudents to discover through their own efforts the essential ideas behind these laws. At the sametime, the students gain a greater appreciation for the role of engineers in society by workingthrough the steps to solve a simple design problem.In order to share this exercise with as many students and teachers as possible we have begun topresent this as a workshop to high-school teachers at regional conferences of science teachers.The primary purpose of this paper is to fully describe

Beyond the desire toimprove student’s grasp of the material, the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS)necessitated a curriculum that assisted teachers in executing these standards, primarilymathematical ones but also touching on language arts.The curriculum itself contains four major threads: Coordinate Systems; Vectors and Matrices;Fundamentals of Mathematics; and Conic Sections.

A concept pair is a pair of physics concepts that are fundamentally different butclosely related. For example, linear acceleration and angular acceleration is a concept pair.Linear acceleration, in the units of m/s2, is used to quantify the change of linear velocity (m/s)with time. Angular acceleration, in the units of rad/s2, is used to quantify the change of angularvelocity (rad/s) with time. There exists a quantitative mathematical relationship between linear(tangential
