As a summary activity for the Environment unit, students individually create a book, newspaper or other published work to communicate what they have learned about engineering and the environment.
Engineers need to communicate well. They need to consider their audience—government representatives, company representatives, school teachers and students or community citizens—and choose appropriate vocabulary to explain the technical engineering concepts.
After this activity, students should be able to:
- Create a product to communicate their understanding of the multitude of engineering and environmental topics.
- Evaluate other students' projects.
