graduates to be inadequately prepared in these areas [9]. Efforts toremedy this deficiency have identified a number of approaches for integrating contextualcompetence into the curriculum. For example, students‟ immersion in a real-world communitycontext is a key component of Purdue‟s NAE-recognized Engineering Projects in CommunityService (EPICS) [10], which involves students in long-term, real-world design projects. Similarly,evidence indicates that Smith College‟s TOYtech project [11], in which students are tasked withdesigning toys that introduce children to the principles of technology, helps develop students‟recognition of the importance of working well in teams and considering the societal impact ofengineering practice.The framework for

the range of inquiry-based approaches that have been developed for physics education including Physics by Inquiry, PeerInstruction, Real Time Physics, Tools for Scientific thinking and workshop Physics. Prince and Felder(2006, 2007) provide extensive evidence that a variety of inquiry-based instructional methods areeffective for promoting conceptual understanding as well as additional educational outcomes. Theframework adopted for the activities presented in this study drew heavily on the Workshop Physicsmodel, the defining elements of which (Laws et al., 1999) are shown in Table 1.
