Hello everyone! We are fundraising for this year’s class of seniors in engineering. We have started an engineering academy that combines English for Engineering, Physics in Engineering, and Engineering Design and Development. The Engineering Academy course is an engineering research course in which students work in teams to research, design and develop an original solution to a valid open-ended technical problem by applying the engineering design process. At the end of the course, student teams must submit a final written report as well as report and defend their final solution. In addition, students will complete smaller group projects during the first semester. This course is a look to the world of engineering while examining it through the lens of physics. In this course we will examine the tools and processes that engineers use in their work. We will work on design and building challenges which get students to go through the engineering process themselves while applying the laws of physics to help us understand how to design a working model and, later, to help us understand how our designs work. Lastly, this course will help you to hone the critical reading and thinking, research, and writing you will need to succeed in your career. This course is also preparing students to write as engineers in professional environments. You will learn to synthesize information, find answers, and present ideas to some of the different audiences you will encounter. Learning to write well will enable you to present yourself in an authentic and professional manner, as well as guide you through processing the work you complete with internal reflection. You will learn how to communicate your knowledge, plans, and ideas in a professional manner, but more importantly, you will learn to do so with intellect and advanced diction. By the end of the course, students should be confident in utilizing this knowledge in the construction and completion of a writing portfolio and self assessment.
