"program combines geometry with an Introduction to Engineering and Design in a freshman-year class that all New Tech ninth-graders must take. - combination gives students a way to apply their geometry knowledge to a real-world field so they can better understand its importance in a possible, eventual career. - second year, which combines Algebra 2 with Principles of Engineering,"

"Although young women currently make up only 18 percent of engineering majors, there are many bright spots including such disciplines as biomedical and environmental engineering, where in 2011 these fields awarded 39 percent and 44 percent of their degrees, respectively, to women."

Encouraging students to use critical thinking is more than an extension activity in science and math lessons, it is the basis of true learning.

Lift (force) - Bernoulli's Principle - since the air moves faster on the top of the wing the air pressure must be lower. --g+*& - general interest, pictures, illustrations, animation, extensive advanced material and references

"The basic design requirements of the Open Course Library are simple enough. The material must be available online and accessible to anyone, says Mr. Green. Faculty designers, hired for their teaching experience and expertise in the subject, can use material from anywhere and anyone, as long as they abide by licensing agreements. Instructors can then use and revise the material as they see fit, dropping and adding components to customize the course for their own students. And now they have peer-vetted syllabi, lecture notes, and teaching materials, available with a few clicks of the mouse."
