Design and development of the steps of the EDP

Aspect of design and developmentEDP stepsContents
Designing problem-solving scenarios Children in urban areas need an educational toolkit to discover the sciences, especially the field of engineering (e.g. a lift electric model). The participants play the role of engineering students and design an electric model of an elevator for these children
Building the criteria and constraints of the productDetermining the problem using the criteria and constraintsDesigning an electric elevator that carries objects weighing 5 kg from the ground floor to a height of 1 m using wood, metal, plastic and a speed reducer motor with a dimension of 100 × 25 × 20 cm and a power supply of 12 V
Designing questions for determining solutions to the problem Providing a set of questions for seeking solutions to the problem such as sources of information related to motion, force, work of force, power, energy and the law of conservation of energy. In addition, the teacher also presents students with the engineering problem-solving process
Designing the learning material that helps students select an appropriate solution to the problemDesigning a guideline for engineering design methodology for students to select an appropriate solution to the problem that meets the criteria and constraints
Formulating questions that help students build the protocol for the solutionDesigning a guideline for students in building a protocol
Designing an assessment tool for validating the protocolDesigning an assessment tool for validating the protocol for the solution
