Engineers design and build the world around us. From buildings, to airplanes, to the computer on your desk, most of the "stuff" in the world was designed by or reviewed by an engineer at some point in its life cycle. This class will attempt to teach you how to think like an engineer. We will cover many basic engineering concepts and show you why the material you are learning in your science and math classes is important (though, we won't ask you to do much -- if any -- math!). Students will work in teams to design and build their own engineering projects, and we'll test them and compare the results. The first half of the class will have several small-scale projects, while the second half will focus largely on a much more detailed, long-term project.
