Specifications (Hands-on): The class is divided into teams of four to six; half theteams are designate Group A and the rest is Group B. Each team is tasked with building a functionalobject (tower, bridge, mechanism). However, Group A designs one object and creates the instructionsfor Group B, and vice versa. Other than the written instructions, no communication is allowedbetween the teams. (The directions will not explain what is being built, only how to build it.) Eachobject is evaluated based on performance, and the teams report on the limitations and benefits ofhaving clear specifications.• Importance of Clear Mission Objectives (Group design): The class is divided into (different

It will include two primary components: a) the designprocess; b) productive team behaviors. Grades are based on demonstrated contribution to thecompletion of the interim and final project(s), including your individual contribution and the finalreport / presentation. The final report must include all specifications, testing procedures, datacollected, design decisions and performance of the final project in comparison to the initialspecifications for the product.

First was the tension between (a) having less structure so there arefewer constraints on the students’ visualization and (b) the potential for ambiguity whenevaluating a visualization. Another was the tension between (a) the time it takes to administer anassessment and (b) how much an evaluator can learn about a student’s or a group of students’understanding of a problem. These two tensions overlap. For
