Each lessonwas analyzed in terms of how it could possibly fit into current science topics. We also usedsecondary science textbooks to align the lesson with current curriculum. From examiningapproximately 40-50 NSE classroom lessons, we narrowed the list down to approximately sixthat we felt could address broad science concepts important to NSE and we designed our initialworkshops around these lessons. An additional consideration was that the lesson did not requireexpensive equipment, could be done

The questions dealt with building with Legos, programming robots, teamwork,applying the EDP to solve robotics problems, sensors and their functions, and engineering andtechnology. Part II involved three questions. In it the students were asked to identify specificthings they learned in the class and to rate how the class contributed to their understanding ofproblem solving. Part III dealt with three types of questions: (a) Students’ understanding ofconcepts like engineering, technology, and the engineering design process; (b) Students’ interestin engineering as field of study or career and their view of the steps necessary to

intended to help students understand how and why engineers andscientists build knowledge. It makes research methods less abstract to the students and helps them learnto draw the connection between hypothesis formulation and well-designed experiments that buildknowledge. The activities encourage students (a) to explore their mental models for hypothesis testing,research, and experimentation, (b) to refine their models and to investigate connections among relatedconcepts, (c) to apply experiment design concepts and principles in order to create experiments and toreason about hypothesis-testing without recourse to the manipulation of equations, (d) to developproblem-solving skills anchored in an understanding of fundamental concepts and principles
