This has been hailed by parents as the best lesson they have seen.  Getting your students to understand it is okay to fail is going to be your biggest challenge.  Show them how professionals deal with it every day and allow your students to explore their own...

Engineering is problem solving, plain and simple.  However, how you solve the problem requires information, analysis, and the ability to see where the problem lies.  This unit allows students to explore how this can be done with a simple stress test that will get your...

Communication is not just spoken and this unit hammers it home.  Students must use technical drawings, technical reports, and an oral presentation to show how they are adept at all facets of Engineering communication. Technical Writing-Directions Technical Reports-...

Taking up where the last unit left off, now the student is ready to communicate using drawings.  The following lessons give the student a wide array of practice in how they can show what their design should look like.  These two units form the basis of how students...

Product testing and planning and succeeding does not sound like important units.  However, students will be exposed to product testing, skills of a Systems Engineer, and an Experimental Drug Developer through this unit.  Not to mention the fun of playing with products...

Input, process, output, and feedback is the corner stone of what an Engineer does in testing the solutions they are working.  Technical and Engineering Communication is reinforced here as students must defend their solution to the class. Systems and Optimization...

By examining Moore's Law as the example in this unit, students gain valuable experience and knowledge in the world of Computer Engineering, Electronics Designing, and how to be a better consumer when it comes to buying such products. Moore's Law Time: 4-7 Hours

Exploring what makes a ground breaking Engineer historical is great fun, especially when you have the students build the very thing their chosen Engineer is famous for. History and Evolution of Engineering Activity Time: 4-5 Hours

Honda has a saying, wait until someone gets half-way up the ladder, then kick it out from underneath them.  Why?  To get them to think differently.  We suggest this unit as you start your new semester, try something different. Kick Out the Ladder Time: 1 Hour
