homemade cardboard construction set - 0 views

  •  
    "How to make your construction set: Get yourself a piece of sturdy cardboard. You'll want it to be stronger than a cereal box so it doesn't bend or rip easily. Now, simply cut your cardboard up into squares. Then along the edges or at the corners, cut some very narrow V-shaped slits."

Engineering Toy To Empower Girls - Core77 - 0 views

  •  
    "Sterling was aware that there was a significant gap in the formative space of play. Because of this, she was motivated to spend a year of research with over 100 children in order to develop GoldieBlox: a construction toy for girls."

Classroom-Ready STEM Lessons: Winter Tech - 0 views

  •  
    "As winter approaches, it's easy to forget that parts of the planet rarely rise above the freezing mark. These icy outposts often hold vast deposits of oil, gas, and minerals. They also present challenges for cold-region engineers, such as the effect of low temperatures on construction materials or how to keep pipelines flowing. Your designers will warm up to cryogenics with this month's activity. See if any need mittens! "

eGFI - For Teachers » Lesson: Solar Water Heater - 0 views

  •  
    "Student teams gain a better understanding of heat transfer and engineering by designing and building solar water-heating devices that mimic those used in residences. Once the model devices are constructed, students perform efficiency calculations and compare designs."

The Engineering Design Process - www.TeachEngineering.org - 0 views

  •  
    "The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineering teams use to guide them as they solve problems. Anyone can do it! To determine how to build something (skyscraper, amusement park ride, bicycle, music player), engineers gather information and conduct research to understand the needs of the challenge to be addressed. Then they brainstorm many imaginative possible solutions. They select the most promising idea and embark upon a design that includes drawings, and analytical decisions on the materials and construction, manufacturing and fabrication technologies to use. They create and test many prototypes, making improvements until the product design is good enough to meet their needs. "

What is Materials Engineering? - Materials Engineering, Purdue University - 0 views

  •  
    "New materials have been among the greatest achievements of every age and they have been central to the growth, prosperity, security, and quality of life of humans since the beginning of history. It is always new materials that open the door to new technologies, whether they are in civil, chemical, construction, nuclear, aeronautical, agricultural, mechanical, biomedical or electrical engineering."

Environmental engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    "Environmental engineering is the integration of science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation (house or home) and for other organisms, and to remediate pollution sites. Further more it is concerned with finding plausible solutions in the field of public health, such arthropod-borne diseases, implementing law which promote adequate sanitation in urban, rural and recreational areas. It involves waste water management and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, radiation protection, industrial hygiene, environmental sustainability, and public health issues as well as a knowledge of environmental engineering law. It also includes studies on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects."

Revelstoke Dam - 0 views

  •  
    "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"
