Back-Ground:

These two tasks that we will do are both a divergent process (Brain storming) and a convergent process (Shaping) They are both fun and require lots of team engagement

Description:

Students learn the problem-solving process and implement it working as a team. Skills are practiced doing this activity

In this section of the exercise, we will do two major functions:

Many designs where we do a form of brain writing
Shaping the many possible solutions to select the 2 or 3 best

Learning objectives:

Students use on-learning learning tutorials.

Students can understand thinking skills, problem solving and decision making

Goals:

Students will understand that all problems as opportunities
Students will see learning as a fun activity

Time allocation: Two hours; Take one hour for each session and discussion

Life-Skills: The engineering mind-set are the life-skills the designer of the problem solution has to think about around the specific design. They need to think about the users/customer of the solution, the schedule and managing the processes, the financial considerations, the community needs and dealing with all the people involved.
