Bringing Guest Speakers to the Classroom for Career Exploration

In order to connect physics and engineering curriculum to the real world it is important for students to understand how their learning applies to possible career opportunities. For this lesson, I am inviting engineers from Dow to come to the classroom to explain what they do and what it took to get to where they are today. Students will take notes during the visit and ask appropriate questions. Using evidence from the speakers talk, they will write how their impressions of what an engineer does has changed.
