proposes a focus on the process of problem-solving and does not want to limitthe process to particular kinds of problems but to those that "influences one's adaptivefunctioning in the real-life social environment" (and engineering problems are some of those.)D'Zurilla et al.'s model uses the term social Problem-Solving for such problems. The modeldevelops the concepts of "problem-solving," "problem," and "solution," specifying that problem-solving "refers to the process of finding a solution." In contrast, "solution" refers to "carrying outthose solutions in the actual problematic situations." The model comprises "problem orientation"and "problem-solving skills." Through these components, they developed the Social Problem-Solving Inventory, which

ProjectsThe project for this class could be described very succinctly as the fabrication of a vibratory motiondevice. Students were encouraged to pursue ideas that sparked their curiosity with the overall goalbeing the creation of a simple, profitable device that performed some practical operation(s) usingvibrations. The project was developed such that there were both individual and team deliverablesthroughout the course of the semester and was designed to encompass four different parts. Eachgroup completed a team contract at the beginning of the project. The team contract is included inthe Appendix section.The first part of the project was all about idea generation. No limits were put on the deviceproviding students the opportunity to dive into any
other organisms. The necessary reactants forphotosynthesis, in addition to sunlight, are carbon dioxide and water. There is an overabundanceof carbon dioxide on earth, but water is not always readily available. This activity concentrateson suppling plants with a steady source of water without the cost or depletion of aquafers causedby using some type of irrigation method. Students will develop hydrogels that help to retain soilmoisture while being biodegradable and nontoxic. This activity can easily be adapted to be ashort lab activity or extended into a long-term project.The first part of the lab will determine what component(s) will dehydrate and then reabsorb thehighest percentage of water.
