Kees Dorst9, the design educator,researcher, and practitioner, emphasizes how this backstory characterizes expert design work:“When you design, you are actually creating two things in parallel: the design itself and the storybehind it. This story consists of all the choices you have made during your design project and thearguments that you used in making them. It is the

Secondary Level Engineering Education Numerous K-12 engineering initiatives have emerged across the U.S.1 These initiativeshave generated considerable interest within the science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) education community and beyond. Potential positive outcomes includeenhanced student achievement, increased awareness of engineering, and increased levels oftechnological literacy.2 However, a recent study of engineering-oriented teacher professionaldevelopment projects detected some significant concerns.3 One disturbing finding was the lackof a well-defined concept base. In the absence of a conceptual foundation, pre-collegeengineering tends to focus on engaging design-based activities without an appropriate

My sophomore students have tobe retrained in the way they build projects, so that they test each part of the deviceindividually before incorporating it in the overall project. This is now necessary in orderto overcome their expectation that everything will work perfectly the first time they tryit. In other words, they need to learn, by experience, “Murphy’s Law”.

Its success, however,depends on student motivation - without it, students may struggle to engage fully, potentiallylimiting the positive outcomes of the pedagogy.The key feature of active learning is that it is learner-centred and therefore places moreresponsibility on the student than teacher-centred methods.
