Description

Instructor: Leigh Elkins

We are surrounded everyday by the products and systems designed by engineers, and all our lives are enriched by the work of engineers. Throughout the Teach Engineering collection, engineering is used as a vehicle to integrate math and science fundamentals through open-ended, hands-on discovery that poses questions to students—why does this work and how it is relevant to your lives? As technological literacy is enhanced, students begin to understand the role engineers play in everything we see around us, inspiring them to explore a world of possibilities. Projects throughout the course will be based on the students' interests.

Students must have completed Algebra 1, and it would be helpful to have had some physics as engineering is the application of science - especially physics.

Students will need calculator, pencil, paper, ability to print papers from home.
