“Thank you to all for creating, maintaining, and growing such a greatprogram…I am very excited!”. Summer trainings will continue in 2008 and will be opento any schools interesting in implementing an EPICS program.The teachers themselves ranged from retired engineers teaching engineering classes, totechnology education teachers to science teachers. One school brought a team led by ascience teacher and included a technology education, special education and an Englishteacher. They were looking at integrating the engineering-based service-learning into thescience and also the service-learning requirement of the school. Like many schoolsaround the country, they had a service-learning requirement of the students but it was notconnected to science

As will be evident in the discussion of theproject worksheet, the Wooden Shoe Regatta project reflects a balance in the steps ofdesign and also the types of literacy required to complete the tasks assigned. This is whythe project is received with so much enthusiasm. If the rest of the curriculum could besimilarly balanced, one result might be that engineering students might be far moreenthusiastic about their studies.What are the possible consequences of an unbalanced approach – one that favors oneparticular design step, or one particular type of literacy? In his book, Cultural Literacy(1987), Dr. E.D. Hirsch discussed mental schemata or structures as related to literacy andunderstanding. “We know that schemata

Recognizing this is worth one point (of the three total for this level). The proposed process is not good (as indicated by the word “Negative”), however, in that no other areas besides structure are analyzed for the shopping cart. Recognizing that other areas need to be analyzed is worth one additional point and giving at least one example of an additional analysis that would be needed is also worth one additional point.

This final project, which Johnson et al4describes as “formal” cooperative learning, required the team to complete an assembly fromseveral individual component parts. The teams were selected by the instructor to ensurediversity of talent, culture, and performance level. Each team of four was assigned a number ofsmall component parts of an assembly, varying in difficulty. The team structure allowed forgroup roles to be self-assigned, therefore each group leader had the opportunity to distributeassignments according to ability. Upon completion of the project
