Each of these units teaches students about one of the ten primary fields of engineering. Students will hear a guest presentation about the opportunities available in each field of engineering. Students will then complete a hands on project related to each field of engineering. Students will present the results of their project, write a lab report and take a quiz related that particular field of engineering. The ten fields of engineering are: Biological Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Construction Management, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering.
This lesson in each unit teaches students about each field of engineering and the career options available after graduation. This can be in the form of a guest speaker or video on the particular field of engineering.
Interact with a STEM professional
Demonstrate an awareness of the connections between each field of engineering and the wider world.
This lesson teaches students about working in teams to complete a project related to each field of engineering.
Conduct design based projects to gain better appreciation of each field of engineering.
