Paper ID #13331Difficulties and opportunities when teaching about technological systems inK-12.Dr. Lena B. Gumaelius, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Dr Lena Gumaelius has a background as a researcher in Biotechnology, in which field she still teaches undergraduate students at KTH. (Lena got her Master of Science in chemistry 1993 and her PhD in Environmental Microbiology in 2001.) In parallel with her research, she worked for several years with development of experiments for students at House of Science. In 2006 Lena became the director of House of Science, which she remained until 2012. House of

.5. The teaching style presented in this framework is significant in engineering education as it may create a practice-oriented learning environment.6. This framework may be implemented in engineering departments of colleges/universities.(ii) Self-compensation of sensor measurementsTo ensure that data used for classroom demonstration of engineering concepts (or principles)realistically represent measured phenomenon, there is a need to deploy sensors that havecapability for self-compensation of measurement data. In this paper for example, wired/wirelesssensor that incorporates (a) one energy storage component (e.g., temperature/pressure sensors),and (b) two energy storage components (e.g., accelerometers) are considered.

in the RFP and subsystem definition and training. We could have optedfor a more open start; however, these supports were intended to alleviate the earlier concerns andovercome our time constraint without sacrificing autonomy. Finally, some constructs alreadyexist, such as turbine architecture, which made for a logical division. B. System and Subsystem Detailed DesignThis domain gives motivation for having two dimensions to our analysis to cover bothengineering process and science content and process. ● Engineering processThe wind turbine offered clear subsystems that could be decomposed and tested; based onequipment and time constraints we focused on the blades and generator.

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

, etc. the time seems appropriate for creating a baccalaureate program inSustainable Systems Engineering (SSE) which can form a pipeline of students educated from asystems perspective in sustainable engineering practices that will feed into post graduateprograms, as well as fill a need in government and industry. The baccalaureate SSE will focus onmore general and multidisciplinary areas of sustainable engineering systems to prepare studentsfor future sustainable development challenges. This paper studies three major aspects of thedevelopment of the baccalaureate SSE program at the Metropolitan State University of Denver:(a) Necessity of SSE, (b) Objectives and (c) Curriculum Development.Necessity of the development of sustainable system

Secondly, the topics covered aregeneric, as they apply for multiple engineering disciplines and the instructor needs to talk about“Activity A” and “Activity B” when presenting the modeling techniques rather than the “design Page 26.639.6the propulsion system” and “design the software control system.” Having said that, the instructordeveloped the course learning outcomes in such a manner to provide the students with thefoundations of the

From this knowledge, a number of feasible design alternativesare fashioned and presented for analysis. Depending upon the phase of the product life cycle, thesynthesis can be in conceptual, preliminary, or in detailed form.The candidate design is driven by both a
