"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."
Lift (force) - Bernoulli's Principle - since the air moves faster on the top of the wing the air pressure must be lower.

"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."
Hooper Bay Indoor Flight Competition - Students build, and learn how to fly, indoor free-flight rubber band powered airplanes. Hooper Bay invited Chevak and Nunam Iqua aviation students to the competition. Spring 2009.
This series of curricular units focus on themes that NASA engineers and scientists -- as well as future generations of explorers -- must consider when planning future human explorations into space. This includes such themes as Energy and Power, Transportation and Lunar Plant Growth Chambers (the STS-118 Design Challenges).
S.T.E.M. Education Through Aviation
Students of all ages learn science, technology, engineering and math (S.T.E.M) through designing, building, and flying their own virtual airplanes. The software, including curricula and training,
"Virtual Air Challenge
More Information Coming Soon!
Students participate in a virtual aviation event. Students from schools all over the country can compete in aviation challenge flying virtual planes of their design."
"One of the biggest challenges in teaching science, technology, engineering, and math is capturing the students' imaginations long enough for them to see all of the possibilities that lie ahead," the company wrote on the Learn with Portals site. "Using interactive tools like the Portal series to draw them in makes physics, math, logic, spatial reasoning, probability, and problem-solving interesting, cool, and fun, which gets us one step closer to our goal-engaged, thoughtful kids!"
"The 13th century empiricist Roger Bacon called mathematics "the door and key to the sciences." High-quality lesson plans, games, interactives and video from PBS"
" PBS Teachers offers hundreds of standards-based, online resources designed to help teachers promote understanding of science concepts and development of hands-on science skills. "
