Students are exposed to thescientific principles underlying the technology, and with this the students build or modifydevices to work in a manner that satisfies a human desire, which is the engineering component.Lab projects are constructed primarily with common, ordinary parts typically found in local retailstores. The use of simple parts helps to reduce abstraction and clarifies the underlying science ofthe technology. Engineering is explained primarily with natural language, demonstrations,teacher modeling, and hands-on lab projects
