Application
More WHAT
•Apply Concepts of Cognitive Science
•Heavy use of Hands-on Activities
•Use the Manufacturing Learning Module and the Engineering Learning Cycle
Critical Parts of Learning Cycle
• Exploration - new concepts should be introduced with minimum explanation and allow students to “construct” basic concepts
Exploration
Dialog
Application
•Dialog - present theory, standard terminology, and ideas in relation to what students have done in the exploration. The dialog can extend the basic concepts to the more complex leading to either an application or another exploration.
