Concepts of EngineeringBeside will be the schedule of the next 9 weeks leading up to Christmas. Please remain on time and schedule as it relates our work!

Weeks 1&2 (10-20-14 to 10-31-14) Defining engineering, its branches, types, and subtypes (2 minor grades, 1 each week)

Start of week 2 (10-27/28-14 (Test (major)

Weeks 3,4, &5 (11-3-14 to 11-21-14) Work independently on your Engineering PowerPoint Presentation Portfolio (I recommend keeping this on a thumb drive, work will be checked weekly for a minor)

Assign Final 11-15-14, due 12-12-14 Start Week 5 (11-17/18-14(test

(Major) Weeks 7&8 (12-1-14 to 12-12-14)

Present your PowerPoint Presentations to the Class (Major)

Week 9 (12-15-14 to 12-19-14) Finals

ENGINEERINGWhat is engineering? Find me the definition

ENGINEERINGWhat is engineering?

Engineering (from Latin ingenium, meaning "cleverness" and ingeniare, meaning "to contrive, devise") is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to invent, design, build, maintain, and improve structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes. The discipline of engineering is extremely broad, and encompasses a range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied science, technology and types of application.

The American Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD, the predecessor of ABET)[1] has defined "engineering" as:

The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation or safety to life and property.

Now over the next 3 weeks you are going to make an Engineering portfolio in a PowerPoint Presentation. You will provide a picture for each of the branches, types, and sub-types of engineering with a description and a reason for why that picture falls under that type of engineering. You will have 3 week to do this. At the conclusion, everyone in class will present their PowerPoint to the class and will be graded by your peers.(Major 60% Mr Sheehan, 40% the average of the class.
