This language arts lesson plan is for students to watch two videos, and then read an article about how women and minorities are currently being underrepresented in STEM fields.
This lesson is designed to drop into the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) course on product design called Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) but it is suitable for any CAD class or engineering design curriculum.
In this ETP, students will be placed into five different groups. In each group, students will be given engineer roles and they will need to collaborate in order to meet the needs of their customer base. Each group will receive a base model of a Raft.
This lesson will engage students in Robotics and Engineering by allowing them to choose a complex individual or group project to work on over the course of the semester.
The goal of this ETP is to introduce and practice the engineering design process in a fun and high interest manner: by designing a board game which will help reinforce previously taught content.
The main objective of this lesson is to enable students to practice the engineering design process and recognize different actions as part of specific steps in the design process.
The goal of this ETP is to engage students with a hands-on engineering design challenge. Students will spend time designing, testing, and redesigning small-scale catapults. They will make two catapults: a prototype (what this lesson covers) and a final design (not included in this lesson).
The Gratta group is working on building a detector for neutrino interactions in liquid xenon. This phase of the project involves designing, building and testing a prototype detector as a proof-of-concept.
The recently adopted Next Generation Science Standards include both content and engineering standards. In order to encourage engineering thinking and design skills, a current adaptation lab was reworked to add an engineering component. Give Me a Beak!
