Students review the what they have learned throughout the five lessons in this unit. This includes a review of many types of engineers, reminding students of the various everyday products, structures and processes they design and create in our world.
Engineering is everywhere. Engineers have a hand in designing, creating or modifying nearly everything we touch, wear, eat, see and hear. In particular, looking at engineering related to the Olympics helps us learn about the creative work aerospace, biomedical, chemical, civil, electrical, environmental and mechanical engineers do every day. Engineers use their understanding of science and math to create things for the benefit of humanity and our world.
After this lesson, students should be able to:
- Identify three different types of engineering and describe the responsibilities of each type.
- Explain that engineers use math and science to solve real-world problems, help the environment, help people and create things for the benefit of society.
