studying these curricula, we noticed that studentscan be “hands on but not minds on”, in the process of solving the tasks. In particular, GuidedContent and Guided Practice tasks are lacking in the assessments. This implies that in realitystudents have limited opportunities to reflect or make inferences, given these items. In order tosolve problems in the context of applying engineering design in the science classroom, thestudents will need to have the opportunities to use the guided information to solve the problems,rather than being asked to simply record the observations or perform calculations. The intersection of TAGS and POD clearly demonstrated a lack of higher-level cognitivedemands in several important areas. For example, Evaluate

The crucial problem is the necessity of thinkagain the kind of education which has fragmented knowledge that drives people to an inability ofarticulating its several parts.

The goals of this game is to showcase thehumanistic side of engineering by facilitating a thought experiment how human motivation andinterest can be used to solve our society’s problems. Staying true to the aforementioned aspectsof making (i.e. learning and expression) players of the game would get to learn about differentaspects of engineering, and at the same time be able to color their end products with theirpersonal expressions.All players will work with a game kit which allows them to create a story of how an engineerwould use an engineering habit of mind

As engineers, we should not feel guilty, as this was the norm in most professionsin their early days. Over decades, things have changed. Physical strength is not a pre-requisite and mathematics and science are not in the monopoly of a select group. We,therefore, expect to see a fair representation of all in this profession.

Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops.

course expectations. It was not until the latter third of the coursethat students were able to formulate a clear definition in their own minds of concurrent engineering. Becauseof the general feeling of apprehension, students tended to wait to be told what to do, and to be anxious aboutassignments. It was difficult for students to take initiative when faced with risk, especially for the in-class casediscussions, which involved as many as thirty students. An interesting side effect to the team building sessions at Penn State was a noticeable improvement incase discussions held during the class periods following the team building activities.
