projectleadtheway - Activity 1.4 Engineer Webquest - 0 views

  •  
    "Engineering offers more career options than any other discipline. It's a profession that can take you from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space, from within the microscopic structures of the human cell to the top of the tallest skyscrapers. Whether it's cell phones, digital cameras, DVD's, or facial recognition devices that can pick out a terrorist in a crowded football stadium, engineers are behind almost all of today's exciting technology. Engineers are problem solvers who search for quicker, better, and less expensive ways to use the forces and materials of nature to meet today's challenges. Engineering students have their pick of many fields. From electrical to civil to aeronautical to biomedical, every discipline within engineering will lead to an exciting and rewarding career. In this activity, you will research one type of engineering"

Engineering in K-12 Education: Understanding the Status and Improving the Prospects - 0 views

  •  
    "Engineering: An Introduction for High School is an open-source high school "flexbook" created using software developed by the CK-12 Foundation by engineering and education faculty at Arizona State University. The flexbook format allows the book to be customized for multiple audiences. The text can be updated, expanded, and repurposed as necessary to support specific standards and classroom needs. The current draft has four content chapters that cover the nature of engineering, engineering and society, engineering design, and the connection between engineering, science, and mathematics."

Engineering in K-12 Education: Understanding the Status and Improving the Prospects - 0 views

  •  
    "Engineering education in K-12 classrooms is a small but growing phenomenon that may have implications for engineering and also for the other STEM subjects--science, technology, and mathematics. Specifically, engineering education may improve student learning and achievement in science and mathematics, increase awareness of engineering and the work of engineers, boost youth interest in pursuing engineering as a career, and increase the technological literacy of all students. The teaching of STEM subjects in U.S. schools must be improved in order to retain U.S. competitiveness in the global economy and to develop a workforce with the knowledge and skills to address technical and technological issues."

Agricultural engineering - Engineering - 0 views

  •  
    "Agricultural engineering is the discipline of engineering in agricultural, food, and biological systems. Agricultural engineers design agricultural machinery and equipment and agricultural structures. Some specialties include power system and machinery design; structures and environment; and food and bioprocess engineering. They develop ways to conserve soil and water and to improve the processing of agricultural products. Agricultural engineers work in research and development, production, sales, or management. "

Aquatic and environmental engineering - Engineering - 0 views

  •  
    "Aquatic and environmental engineering; an engineering topic, used sometimes as a synonym for Civil engineering. It is the application of science and engineering principles to improving the environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthful water, air and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to investigate the possibilities for remediation of polluted sites. Negative environmental effects can be decreased and controlled through public education, conservation, regulations, and the application of good engineering practices. "

Life with Moore Babies: E is for Engineer - 0 views

  •  
    "E is for Engineer The Community Helper I chose for E is Engineer; mainly because that is what their Daddy is. He is a computer engineer though, and I couldn't think of much to do with that! However there are many, many other types of engineers! To me an engineer would be someone who applies scientific and mathematical knowledge to design something with a purpose. "

Skylon Spaceplane | Interesting Engineering - 0 views

  •  
    "project to take the Skylon spaceplane into the orbit. During most of time it would be used as a normal airplane, like taking off and landing on conventional runways, but the main difference is in the power source of this aircraft. It will be powered by a Sabre engine, specially designed for its purpose. It will be working like a normal jet engine in the lower attitude, breathing in oxygen and when in higher altitude of outer space it will act as a rocket engine. So, we may call it some sort of a "hybrid engine"."

Top Engineering and Infrastructure Projects - Best Engineering Projects from ASCE in 20... - 0 views

  •  
    "For fifty years, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has recognized the best infrastructure projects in the world with its annual Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement (OCEA) award. The most recent winner was China's Sutong Bridge, a nearly 27,000-ft.-long bridge that spans the Yangtze River, and boasts several engineering "firsts," but also provided a safer, more efficient alternative to the ferries that local residents were forced to rely on."

  •  
    "students will become "rollercoaster engineers" by designing a coaster out of pipe insulation tubing found at most home improvement stores. Through an iterative process they will test their coaster design with their "rider" a steel ball or marble. This is a great way to address the scientific method, inquiry, and current/upcoming engineering standards in science."

Academics Blog » Civil Engineering * - 0 views

  •  
    "my engineering classes. "Perspectives on the Evolution of Structures" was definitely one of my favorites. It is taught by Dr. Schafer, my adviser and head of the department, and is typically taken by freshmen in their spring semester. The course covers the three "E"s of civil engineering design: economy, elegance, and efficiency. It's cross-listed through MICA, so you get the best of both engineering and artistic perspectives, while going through a history of design principles."
