This is a general engineering course. We will USE math
and science to solve challenges.
In this course you will
how it impacts society;
complex challenges using a process that is applicable to many subjects (not just engineering); and
habits of mind.

Team design challenges Individual work
Everyone on a team gets the same score for:
Final design quality Team documentation Team presentations
Notebooks Content assessments (quizzes, tests, homework) Peer assessments and self-assessments
We are part of a community of 77 Engineer Your World schools participating in research.
Yes! You are guinea pigs in an experiment!
Complete the survey questions as
best you can, regardless of whether you will consent to research.
These surveys will be returned to
the project researchers, but they will only look at the surveys of students who have consented.
…and Who are Engineers?

Individually identify three areas of your
life that engineers have affected that are not shown in the video. Put each idea on a separate post-it note.
Share your three things with your group.
Explain specifically (or give examples) of how engineers have affected these three areas of your life. (2 minutes)
Each group will pick one item (area of
life) from its collective list and explain how engineers have affected it.
With your group, identify at least
three areas of life that engineers have NOT affected. (3 minutes)
Each group will pick one area of life
from your list and explain why the group thinks engineers have not affected it.
All other groups will try to
demonstrate how the area of life was, in fact, affected by engineers.

What was the similar and what was different about the three engineering solutions offered to paralyzed humans?
A.Mechanical B.Electromechanical C.Biomedical Types of technological fixes: A.Enhance existing technology B.Substituting/providing a proxy solution. C.Fixing what is broken.
What do you say to those who claim that advances in science and technology are taking away jobs from humans?

Myth or Truth? Engineers are awkward, lonely introverts that work alone
“I am dependent on my team and my team is dependent on me to get the job done, regardless of whether it’s the proper execution of a football play or the completion of an engineering project.”

She uses nanoparticles to make solar energy better and cheaper.
Engineers iterate, innovate, and create
She is discovering how to create hydrogels for delivering drugs.

NPR Podcast Planet Money – Nick Steinsberger, Inventor of Fracking
Minute: 6:00 Podcast: Oil #3: How Fracking Changed the World August 17, 2016 • Third of five episodes. The Planet Money oil faces a test, we sell it, and we meet the man who set off the fracking boom in America. http://www.npr.org/sections/money/ STORY IN ATLANTIC MONTHLY: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/11/breakthrough- the-accidental-discovery-that-revolutionized-american-energy/281193/
More (and different) engineers = more ideas.
Students will share research on the value of diversity in many different fields.

Classroom norms are rules that we set for interacting with each other
NORMS FOR POKEMON GO
Look both ways before crossing Don’t trespass on private

day and go into the opposite sex bathroom to find Pikachu…
What norms do you want? (5 minutes)
Think about the norms you would like us to
Using the provided pen and post-it notes, write
What norms do your classmates want?

Consider all of the suggestions. What trends do we see?
What norms do we all want? (5 minutes)
Let’s agree on the basic class norms that we will
