The Aussies score again. Did You Know There's An Entire Type Of Aircraft That Relies On The Ground Effect To Stay Aloft? Take a look...I can see many, many coastal and inland sea applications and ferries. Only 1.5 cents per passenger mile is very cheap and it uses a chevy engine!!!! Its Chevy engine is similar to our Caprice 396 we had for 30 years as a family car.

This site is designed specifically for middle school girls to see all the applications and benefits of an engineering degree.

In 2010, the girls entered the worldwide FIRST LEGO League science and engineering challenge, which focused on robotics applied to medical issues. Having decided to work on hand and arm prosthetics, they met with prosthetics manufacturers and doctors.

"careers in science. The featured scientists for this module are Corene Matyas (Geography), Arnoldo Valle-Levinson (Coastal Engineering), and Pete Adams (Geology)."

"This activity is designed for middle school or high school teachers who are interested in introducing a real world, open ended problem that introduces engineering concepts. The curriculum presented here has been implemented quite successfully in a middle school in 6th and 8th grades."

"As students are working through their various build sessions, we pause ocasionally to talk about the variables they are changing (independent), the expected outcome (dependent variable), and the records and/or graphs they are keeping on the flight times of their rocket (data collection and repeatable expeirmentation)."

"Using simple, everyday materials, marshmallows and toothpicks, your students can build marshmallow structures. They practice math skills by adding together materials used to get the total number. This product offers background information to set the stage for this science and math project - talk about plate tectonics, earthquakes and why they occur, etc. Through this project, the students will learn about earthquakes and seismic testing of buildings."

"Helicopter Drop by Bryce Hixson Take a single strip of copy paper and make three cuts and five folds to create a ready-to-fly helicopter. You can experiment with surface area and friction, and have a lot of fun adapting the design. Great way to teach the effect of gravity and friction on a falling object, experiment with torque and changing forces, and open the door to imagination and engineering."

""Engineering Principles" description of the concepts, a "Thoughtful Questions" sheet, and an unit outline for teaching the course with a hands-on component. "

" includes 4 experiments you can do easily in the classroom with items you have handy! "

"Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is the leading provider of rigorous and innovative Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education curricular programs used in middle and high schools across the U.S."

"Students are introduced to static equilibrium by learning how forces and torques are balanced in a well-designed engineering structure. A tower crane is presented as a simplified two-dimensional case. Using Popsicle sticks and hot glue, student teams design, build and test a simple tower crane model according to these principles, ending with a team competition. "

"Science360 Knowledge Network provides series that showcase the latest wonders of science, engineering, technology and math. "

"The Central Florida Aerospace Academy exists to provide a meaningful and content rich education that will inspire and motivate students at all levels. Students are challenged to reach high levels of achievement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics in preparation for high-tech careers in the fields of aviation and aerospace."

"low-cost, multi-unit, home-made 3D radar system, Budisteanu was able to achieve excellent results. In fact, the vehicle performed flawlessly in 47 of 50 simulations, only failing to recognize some people at a distance of 20 to 30 meters. For Budisteanu's efforts, he was awarded $75,000, and a Romanian company has already offered to fund his research and give him the opportunity to create a prototype driverless car. "

"For Civil Engineers, the alchemy of earth, rock, steel and concrete formed by man to hold back and harness that most powerful force of nature, water; is an awesome sight to behold, worthy of photographing, inspiring the young and old to imagine the weight of the wall of water behind the stark grey walls, wondering at the cold, murky depths below the calm surface. On a quiet day, the dam can seem tame. The moving parts are hidden away, only a faint hum or vibration may be evidence of the great transformation from potential to kinetic to electric energy taking place below your feet. Looking downstream, the flow of the river continues, thousands of cubic meters of water"

"For the second year in a row, engineer is the hardest job to fill in America. "

"JoVE Bioengineering focuses on techniques in which the principles of engineering, mathematics and physics are applied to problems associated with the life sciences."

"For scientists and engineers in the new social robots field, finding out what gives a robot the appearance of emotion or personality is essential. In the case of these little LEGO walking bots, it is mostly a matter of the way they move. The particular motions and speed create a pattern of movement that we interpret as a personality"
