High School Engineering Design Training
Day 2
Copyright 2013, Oregon University System, All Rights Reserved
Workshop Goals
Increase understanding of the Oregon Science Engineering Design Standards
Engage in the Engineering Design ProcessUse teaching strategies that engage students in “Science as Practice” by incorporating engineering design to learn science content
Agenda Day 28:00-9:45 How the Engineering Design Process applies to
teaching and learning science in high school
9:45-10:00 Break
10:00-11:45 Hands-on lesson featuring the Engineering Design Process for learning Life Science
11:45-12:30 Lunch
12:30-1:45 Hands-on lesson featuring the Engineering Design Process for learning Physical Science
1:45-2:00 Troubleshooting as a learning opportunity
2:00-2:15 Break
2:15-3:15 Formative Assessment of the Engineering Design Process
3:15-4:15 Using Engineering Design in Your Classroom
4:15-4:30 Closing discussion
Engineering Design StandardsForm Two Groups
Create a Poster Description of ED Standards –Words–Sketches–Callouts–Diagrams–Use Space Needed
ED Standards Poster Tour– Visit 5 posters– 5 minutes at each– Provide feedback with sticky notes
Review your Poster Feedback– 5 minutes to discuss
Whole Group Share– 5 minutes to discuss
Engineering Design Standards
The Engineering
Design Process
for High School
Index Card Chair Engineering
Build a chairUse index cardsSupport at least one can20 minutes to build and test
Index Card Chair EngineeringEngineering Criteria‒ Must resemble a chair or a chair with an attached
footstool
‒ Be able to pick up the chair as one piece
‒ Support the weight of at least one can
Engineering Constraints‒ Use only 6 index cards and 1 foot of tape
‒ No paper clips, glue, staples, etc.
‒ Free standing -- not attached to anything for support
What Should Students Know About– Identifying a
problem?– Proposing a
potential solution?– Designing a
prototype?– The EDP in
general?
– Defining a problem or a need?– Listing criteria and constraints?– Describing a possible solution
using science principles?– Designing and constructing a
possible solution?– Describing the cost, safety,
appearance and environmental impact of the solution as well as what will happen if it fails?
Additional QuestionsWhen you were given the challenge, what did you do or think?Which designs were the most effective? Why?How many designs did you try to build before you got one that could support the weight?Did you brainstorm different solutions? Did that help you make a decision as to what would be the best chair to build?Would it have helped to have other tools to build your chair?What would happen if the chair failed?
