Abstract | This article showcases a lesson that employs a culturally situated design context to intentionally teach students about the engineering concepts involved in material selection and the application of dynamics. Students use their classroom time to work in groups addressing the issue of how to design athletic helmets to account for cultural attire, various customs, increased safety, size versatility, and the use of eco-friendly materials/manufacturing processes. Students in the class gather existing knowledge, investigate material classifications, and explore the properties of materials to design a helmet and present their design solutions to the class. Their teacher, as well as their peers, will evaluate the design to ensure the product has addressed target populations, material limits, aesthetic considerations, and cost requirements. (ERIC). |
