Human Exploration Project (HEP) Summary

• Curricular units for use at elementary, middle,
  and high schools.
• (2) Elementary School
• (4) Middle School
• (4) High School

3
Common Characteristics of Units

• Units resonate with the NASA vision.
• Units coordinate with the larger system of ITEA
  educational resources.
• Unit content is articulated across grade levels.
• Unit context reflects real-world delivery of
  technological literacy in the classroom.
• Units contribute to a broad student understanding
  of science, technology, engineering, and
  mathematics (STEM).

4

• Coordinate with EbD
• Engagement
• Exploration
• Explanation
• Extension
• Evaluation

5
Coordinate with EbD

• Articulate big ideas consistent with the
  backwards design educational model.
• Incorporate student assessment criteria and
  rubrics.
• Include learning activities with embedded
  evidence gathering.
• Identify and make use of available resources.
• Include strategies to teachers for
  implementation.

10
STS-118 High School Challenge

• Design and Assess
• Design and Build

11
Two Challenges

• The Design and Assess Challenge
• Ten (10) day challenge
• Teachers and students without technology labs
• Ends with the Preliminary Design Review (PDR)
• The Design and Build Challenge
• Twenty (20) day challenge
• Teachers and students with technology labs
  available
• Continues after the PDR with the students
  constructing their working prototype

12
Big Idea

• The Engineering Design Process is a
  comprehensive, valuable tool that can be used to
  provide
• solutions to complex
• challenges, on Earth
• and beyond.

13
Lesson 1 - Introduction

• The goal of all shuttle missions to complete
  construction of the ISS
• STS-118 First flight for Barbara Morgan
• One of her tasks
• work with a small
• growth chamber that
• will be left on the ISS

14
Lesson 1 - Introduction

• On the moon and Mars, some supplies will need to
  be manufactured/grown in situ.
• Challenge is to
• design a growth
• chamber to be used
• on the lunar surface
• to grow food for
• future astronauts.

15
Lesson 2 Plant Choice

• Resources required to sustain plant life on the
  moon (available nutrients?)
• Identify best type of
• plants to grow on
• the moon
• Other requirements
• (light, temperature,
• radiation protection)

16
Lesson 3 Sub-Systems

• Identify required
• sub-systems
• Active vs. passive
• Active
• Sensors
• Controls
• Passive

17
Lesson 4 Design the Chamber

• List all the requirements for the chamber
  (lights, temperature, water,
• nutrients, air, radiation)
• How will the chamber
• arrive on the lunar surface

18
Lesson 4 Design the Chamber

• Develop a plan Recommend plant species and
  requirements,
• descriptions, drawings,
• sketches, PowerPoints,
• and models
• Preliminary Design
• Review

19
Lesson 5 Build the Chamber

• Identify materials and supplies
• Safety training to use the
• tools and equipment
• Sub-systems are required
• in a project of this size
• and complexity

20
Lesson 5 Build the Chamber

• Test of sub-systems prior to assembly
• Test chamber with all systems
• Critical Design
• Review (CDR)

21
HEP Units in the High School Classroom

• Integrated Transportation Systems

• In-Situ Resource Utilization Technological
  Issues
• STS 118 Design Challenge
• Technological Design

22
Integrated Transportation Systems

• NASAs use of Intermodal Transportation
• Land
• Sea
• Air

23
Integrated Transportation Systems

• Students present their models

24
In-Situ Resource Utilization

• Students plan a business for the first Lunar
  colony

25
In-Situ Resource Utilization

• Students present their business plans
• Final assessment
• Panel of engineers

26
STS-118 Design Challenge

• Students plan and construct their Lunar Plant
  Growth Chambers

27

What Is Engineering byDesign?
31
Do We Teach engineering or Engineering?
engineering little e used as a verb to
teach all students to think or learn to engineer
or use engineering concepts Engineering big
E used as a noun prepare students to be
Engineers career oriented
