It was originally part of the U.S. Armory at Harpers Ferry and is situated between the Potomac River and the armory canal, whose original head gates still stand two miles upstream. The first building was a tilt hammer shop, constructed c.1830s, which was replaced by a rolling mill in 1854. Following John Brown's raid in 1859 and subsequent burning of the armory, Thomas Savery constructed a pulp mill on the site in 1888. The Harpers Ferry Paper Co. was powered by water from the armory canal, utilizing seven flume bays. In late 1898 plans were made to place a dynamo in the pulp mill to generate electricity for Harpers Ferry. Savery continued simultaneous operations of the

Page 15.200.3Note that besides the concepts of ask, imagine, plan, create, and improve as presented in thedesign process model in the “Engineering is Elementary” unit, we also added test, time anddocument in the process. The test concept is an implicit activity that links create and improve—after a design is created, it can be tested to identify opportunities for improvement. This testingprocess is included in the Engineering is Elementary units, although it does not appear in theirdiagram. The time concept came from Bailey’s original rubric. As teachers need to design lessonplans to carry out design process and also monitor students’ process, we choose to include it inour rubrics.

The instructorserves as a coach and manager of the design projects. Some other schools may consider that a one-hourweekly lecture may be necessary to provide students with basic system design concepts that are notcovered in the machine component design course, and a thread to bind course materials and tools fromother undergraduate courses. The proposed plan was to develop core material consisting of 12-units oflecture notes.

One noticeable omission at the K-2 level is the lack of any problem scoping behavior (thatdoesn’t occur until 3-5th grade level). The design process that Design Squad uses containsidentification of the problem; brainstorm; design with a cyclical build, test/evaluate and redesignprocess; and finally share the solution.7 Lastly, the Engineering is Elementary program uses acycle of ask, imagine, plan, create and improve.8 While these three design processes have bothsimilarities and differences, they all tackle the task of
