Abstract
This is an example of a brief exit survey/assessment that could be used after the Become An Engineer learning object.
Learning Objectives and Standards
- Recall what NEES stands for
- Define what models are how they are used in an experiment
- Identify causes of a tsunami
- Build and test a Lego™ structure to determine if it can withstand a model tsunami
Participants will be interested in pursuing other engineering and science activities.
