During my fellowship at Lockheed Martin, I learned about critical communication skills and the engineering and design process in the creation of satellites. The goal of this ETP is to introduce and practice the engineering design process through a hands on STEM challenge.
The students will learn the basics of heat treating metals. The terminology, process used in heat treatment and finally they will participate in properly heat treating low carbon with the “pack method”.
Consulting with the dispersed workforce of the Product Training team at Silicon Valley Bank proved the importance of listening in the collaborative process.
Students always want to see the results of their work immediately, and they move on to the next challenge as soon as they solve the problem once.
The goal of this ETP is to expose students to the Biomimicry process of using innovation from nature to solve problems. We will be using AskNature.org to identify a design principal (function in AskNature.org), which will be applied in the construction of a tower.
I created a lesson plan of projects for my students to develop a Business Mission Statement, Logo, and a Brand Mood Board. The activities provide my students with an understanding of the product they will create as a business for their clothing brand.
While programmers can keep track of their own code in their head, it can be difficult for beginning programmers to understand the importance of writing readable code.
Concerns about access to clean, potable water are projected to rise with the ever-drying climate and increase in global population.
In my fellowship I am helping develop a fractography program. The program will be used to assist failure analysts determine the mode of failure by automatically identifying and analyzing the features present on a fracture surface.
