  1. IEEE Teacher In-Service Program Training Workshop“ On a path to introduce Engineering Literacy at Secondary School level, a perspective”WELCOME ADDRESS M.G.P.L. Narayana Vice President, BS&CC, TCS Chair, IEEE Hyderabad Section mgpln@ieee.org Venue: Taj Krishna, Hyderabad 8th May, 2011

  2. “Children enter school as question marks and leave as periods” - Neil Postman How to make children learn just as they play?

  3. “ The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get to the office.” - Robert Frost

  4. Barriers - Mental Locks to Creativity “You mean I can put a different disk in the computer? You are kidding.” -A user who kept the same floppy in her computer for over a year, 1993 • The attitudes that get in our way. • “The Right Answer”. • “That is not logical”. • “Follow the rules”. • “Be Practical”. • “Avoid Ambiguity”. • “To err is wrong”. • “Play is Frivolous”. • “That is not my area”. • “Don’t be foolish”. • “I am not creative”.

  5. Socratic Teaching • The capacity to ask the right question. • The ability to listen carefully to the meaning behind the answer.

  6. Motivation • Extrinsic Motivation • Intrinsic Motivation

  7. What is intelligence? • The ability to solve problems that one encounters in real life. • The ability to generate new problems to solve. • The ability to make something or offer a service that is valued within one’s culture.

  8. Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences • Linguistic: Walt Whitman • Logical-mathematical: Albert Einstein • Spatial: Frank Lloyd Wright • Bodily-Kinesthetic: Michael Jordan • Musical: Mozart • Interpersonal: Mother Teresa • Intrapersonal: Sigmund Freud • Naturalist: Rachel Carson

  9. The Seven Da Vincian Principles • Curiosita – Unrelenting quest for continuous learning. • Dimostrazione – Test knowledge through experience, persistence, learn from mistakes • Sensazione – The continual refinement of the senses, as the means to enliven experience. • Sfumato – Willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox, and uncertainty. • Arte/ Scienza – Balance between science & art, logic & imagination, “whole brain” thinking. • Corporalita – Cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness, and poise. • Connessione – ..appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and phenomena. “Systems Thinking”. From “How to Think like Leonardo Da Vinci” by Michael J. Gelb.

  10. The Predilection Gap Design Thinking Analytical Thinking Intuitive Thinking 100% Validity 100% Reliability 50/50 Mix From Roger Martin’s “The Design of Business”

  11. Engineering Versus Science • Scientists • Understand why our world behaves the way it does (“laws of nature”) • Study the world as it is • Thinkers • Engineers • Apply established scientific theories and principles to develop cost-effective solutions to practical problems • Cost effective • Consideration of design trade-offs (esp. resource usage) • Minimize negative impacts (e.g. environmental and social cost) • Practical problems • Problems that matter to people • Change the world • Doers

  12. Building on Experience To make full use of the experiences of each assignment, identify ways in which one could do things differently, and better, in the future. Four-stage learning cycle that puts this reflective process into a framework for action. Experience Reflection Conceptualization Experimentation : Innovate “Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes” - Oscar Wilde

  13. The design-science learning cycle Create Design Design Evaluate Outcome Connect to Big Ideas Generate Reasons Generalize Results Science Analyze Results Test Ideas Source: Adopted from Apedoe et al, 2009

  14. Engineering in the Higher Secondary ClassroomBroad objectives & Purpose of TISP • Develop & Present technology-oriented projects to local school educators • Emphasis on volunteer-teacher interaction • Sustained program involving several schools every year. • To enhance technological literacy of school educators • To establish partnerships to promote applied inquiry-based learning. • To expose teachers to career options for their students in engineering and other technical fields.

  15. Appreciation is must, Build the trust Customer is first, Do our Best Empower the most, Freedom to last. Long Live Volunteers - “ABCDEF” Song http://www.ieeehyd.org/
