New topics in Engineering Design are provided as a continuation of our series designed to further STEM educators' knowledge and skills in the engineering design process. This highly interactive workshop covers key aspects of Materials and Mechanical Engineering, and how the properties and performance of materials will affect their applications and performance. Topics include forces and simple machines, motors, turbines, generators, and electro-magnetic devices. The afternoon portion, Soaring Through the Science of Space and Flight takes educators on a journey through the captivating world of aeronautics.
Teacher will discuss and reflect on key scientific principles underpinning aeronautics, including Bernoulli's Principle, Charles' Law, and the concepts of convection and temperature. This unique professional development opportunity combines theoretical understanding with hands-on application all while empowering educators to bring the wonder of flight into their classrooms, sparking curiosity, and deepening student understanding of aeronautical physics.
FACILITATOR: Engineers on Deck, Angie Moran This workshop will take place from 8:30 am - 3:30 pm.
