uploaded to a class blog. The formal assignment was to create a websiteexplaining some aspect(s) of German manufacturing and technology.Students toured as many sites as possible with cameras and camcorders provided by theCollege’s Engineering Communication Studio,10 documenting their excursions, with the specificintent of sharing them as a form of primary research. Typically, as shown in Figure 7, roles wereassigned (videographer, photographer) before each excursion, so that other students could focusmore on what they heard and saw. This division of labor worked well, and kept the focus ondocumentation of the trip through visual means. The videos were shared on the class blog, butwere also used later when the students composed their websites

The results of thissurvey suggest that knowing more about the structure did in fact make it more appealing in anumber of ways.In the future, the researchers are interested in using various aspects of the sculpture in a numberof different courses to determine if the sculpture, as a learning tool, can not only improve thedegree to which people think about technical, social, and environmental issues, but the degree towhich they can actually learn more about these issues.

Initially the project wasvery successful; between 1991 and 1994 the number of minority applicants to medical schoolsincreased by 40% and the number of matriculants increased by 27%2.

However, several teams did express the emissions in more meaningful units thang/kW-hr, such as total kg/year, or they normalized them to the baseline to show reduction withthe converter. In general, the technical discussion in the papers indicated that the studentsunderstood the basic operation of a catalytic converter, the effects of emissions on the humanbody and the environment, and the operation of small engines.

Whilethey were engineers, many of them felt Megamation was causing Robotics to migrate too faraway from their technological strengths and were not shy about voicing their opinions. It wasclear to Butch that these " whining wienies" as he called them, simply weren't "on the team"and he was in the process of driving them out of the company or, as a last resort, terminatingthem when they could "not meet their numbers." The disadvantage of terminating themimmediately was that Robotics always had to provide an attractive severance package inexchange for the employee's signature on a document that promised they would not sue
