Most field studies have abroadly ethnographic goal, namely to adequately and thickly describe the specific qualities ofpractices, to understand and represent the meaning of those practices for people who participatein them, and to understand unique and locally situated forms of work culture and socialorganization. In the context of engineering practices, field studies have largely been conducted inthe workplace using observations and interviews. These include studies across both disciplinesand time, beginning with pioneering works such as Barnes’ comparative, observational study oftechnical groups in industry [5], and Youngman et al.’s in-depth, multi-modal analysis ofengineering job roles and work activities [6].

connected to the bus with minimal pins needed for each sensor. Theprotocol works by sending a start condition (S) from the Pi to one of the sensors, followed by thedevice address. The address for each sensor is a unique, seven-bit address that is written usingbits one through seven. This is used to identify each device that the Pi is powering [12]. The Pithen sends instructions in the bit zero to the sensor so that it knows to collect data from itsenvironment, allowing the Pi to read from the sensor, and the sensor sends a message back to thePi acknowledging its instructions before data is read from it. As shown in Figure 1, when the Pihas received all of the bits and it is time for it to read data from a different sensor, it must send astop

This paper focuses on the three remaining issues, namely, associativelearning from daily experience, critical thinking of a pertinent parameter, and causal reasoningwith a mechanism.Experiential learning has an important associative learning component. Using the trend on agraph to understand time of flight would clarify the mechanism other than a math procedure ofsolving a quadratic equation. Daily experience would show that an object would need moreinitial velocity v0 to reach ground when being thrown upward against gravity downward pulling(-9.8 m/s/s) at 120 meters below ground. The time of flight can be obtained directly whenapplying the quadratic equation formula to the kinematics
