| Abstract: |
We designed a two-day laboratory exploration of fundamental concepts
in digital images for an introductory engineering course at Maui
Community College. Our objective was for the students to understand
spatial vs. brightness resolution, standard file formats, image
tradeoffs, and the engineering design cycle. We used open
investigation, question generation, and an engineering design
challenge to help our students achieve these learning goals. We
also experimented with incorporating Hawaiian
language and cultural awareness into our activity. We present our
method, student response, and reflections on the success of our
design. The 2008 re-design of this activity focused on better
incorporating authentic engineering process skills, and on using a rubric for
summative assessment of the students' poster presentations. A
single file containing all documents and presentations used in this
lesson is available
online. (http://www.astro.ucla.edu/ ianc/files/digital_images_inquiry.pdf) |
