Introduction to the Engineering Design process through the creation of a catapult
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.
Modeling Electrodialytic Desalination
This lesson series asks students to use a simulation applet for electrodialytic desalination to explore the functional relationships between various engineering design parameters and output measures of practical interest.

Catapults (Stephen Curry Machines)
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).
Collaboration, Communication & Systems Engineering
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.
