adapted for effective delivery to DHH students by providing them access to short videos that are both English-captioned and ASL- signed. Module 2 (session B): The second module exposes the students to problem solving within the context of warehousing and order fulfillment activities. During this module, students work on a picking rack area where parts are located in the appropriate bins and the operator is directed by pick-to-light technology. The students work in teams of 2-5 members to build several orders for a “shift duration” of approximately 5-minutes. The objective of the worker is to fill orders as quickly as possible in order to maximize the number of orders that are shipped on a given day. Once the activity is

This allows students to adjust the pivot points in order to explore how their locationinfluences the type and range of motion. Furthermore, the students discovered that the magnetsmade it possible for the 4-bar mechanism to be affixed to the white boards on the walls ofstandard classrooms on campus.
