What is EAS? The Engineering Application Series (EAS) is an online collection of fun and exciting problem-based learning opportunities. EAS provides students the opportunity to master critical academic, workplace, and life skills while solving real-world challenges. How does it work? A team of 4-8 students are presented with a real world engineering design challenge. The team then organizes and solves the problem by navigating the design loop process using a unique “Challenge Script” and a variety of worksheets. Can EAS be customized? All presentation media and student handouts, including the Challenge Script, worksheets, and assessment rubrics can be downloaded, edited, and printed using a common word processor.
Challenge Portal: The Challenge Portal provides access to dozens of engineering design problems from a variety of categories including aerospace, agriculture, biotechnology, civil engineering, green technology, manufacturing, robotics, and much more. Challenge Script: The Challenge Script provides students with step-by-step guidance through the design loop process to solve an engineering problem. There is an online version of the script, or an editable version can be downloaded and printed for student use in a lab without computers. Student Handouts: Each step is prompted by questions posed by the Challenge Script and a variety of worksheets and forms. Assessment: A combination of student worksheets and rubrics are provided to help measure student performance. Virtual Design Challenge: Every month, the EAS web site advertises a virtual challenge. Register to solve the challenge, and the team that best solves the problem will win $100.00 for their in-school engineering program or club. Prototyping Equipment and Materials: To aid in prototyping, optional modeling packages for structures, mechatronics/automation, and robotics are available. See back for more. Unlimited access (single campus*):
* District- and state-wide subscriptions are available. Email us for a quote. Each of the following prototyping packages includes an assortment of modeling items which make the task of building prototypes easier and faster.
These exclusive VEX plates provide a platform and/or structural integrity for student projects.
