The Briefing
During the briefing you "set the stage" for learning. You paint a picture of the module scenario, the mission that teams will face and the roles students will play. Since ETE modules are taken from actual problems in real life, you may want to stress that solutions are to be realistic as well. Who knows, perhaps students will come up with a solution that is original and warrants serious further research. Your ability to make the learning activity as meaningful as possible at this point cannot be overstated.
