The first video is about 7 minutes and gives you an introduction or overview of the model. I suggest watching that before going through the site. If you find any other info like scholarly articles, let me know. The ones I found mentioned CBAM and some implementation of it, but the link above is a comprehesive overview of the model and its inception.

1. "Senior Vice President, Science and Technology Dr. J. Michael McQuade represented UTC at the 2009 Connecticut FIRST Robotics Competition, delivering a message about the value of science and innovation to 62 teams of high school students, representing nine U.S. states. 'We’re a company built on innovation and this principle dates back to our founders,' McQuade said, referencing the problem-solving discoveries of Willis Carrier and Elisha Otis. “Problem solving is exactly what each of you have done with your FIRST teammates and this is the same type of thinking that will make you successful in your careers down the road,” he told the students." http://www.shsrobotics.org/media/news/64

2. "The Shelton High School students beat 19 other teams of students from Shelton Intermediate School and Shelton High School in the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program (SSEP) to have their science experiment on the last flight of the space shuttle Endeavour." http://www.shsrobotics.org/media/news/98
