What is S.T.E.M.?
S.T.E.M. education emphasizes the using your knowledge in real-life situations. A S.T.E.M class is typically based around finding a solution to a real-world problem.

4. In our modern world, challenges are everywhere!
How can we waste less? How can we build smarter and safer cars and trains... better roads and bridges? How do we understand the functioning of our brains?
50 minutes
These are big ideas that engineers and scientists work on to help improve the world we live in.

5. Today’s S.T.E.M. focus will be learning about how to be Engineers.
Engineering is the science or profession of developing and using nature's power and resources in ways that are useful to people.

6. Who are engineers?
Engineers are people who solve problems and focus on making things work more efficiently and effectively.
Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop economical solutions to technical problems.

7. What is the Difference Between a Scientist and an Engineer?
Uses knowledge of math and science to create something new
Characteristic activity: creative design
Work in disciplines such as:
Civil Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Electrical Engineering
A practitioner of engineering is an engineer
Scientist:
Develops knowledge from analysis and study
Characteristic activity: research
Work in fields such as:
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
A practitioner of science is a scientist
Obtained from Wikipedia under science and engineering

8. What is the Difference Between a Scientist and an Engineer?
Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was.”
Theodore Von- Karman, Aerospace Engineer

9. Engineering of the Past
Evidence that engineering was practiced more than 4,500 years ago:

10. Engineering Today
What are engineers working on today?
Alpine Mega Tunnel – a 95 mile tunnel through the Swiss Alps – the longest tunnel in the world
Perdido Spar (Shell Oil) – worlds deepest oil well. Located in more than 9,000 feet of water, 2 miles off the coast of Texas

11. Engineers are Everywhere!
Orbiting in space
Designing bridges
Designing cars
Exploring the ocean
Creating soles for your sneakers
Developing your next favorite candy bar.

12. Engineering Disciplines
Electrical Engineers
Work with electricity, electromagnetic fields, and light
Design products such as cell phones, computers,
antennas, televisions, and appliances
Design power generation and distribution systems
Mechanical Engineers
Work with machines and systems that
involve the production and use of heat
Design cars, heating and air conditioning systems,
and manufacturing systems
Biomedical Engineers
Work with the mechanical and chemical
properties of the human body
Design prosthetic devices and medical diagnostic systems

13. Engineering Disciplines
Civil Engineers
Work with physics and materials
Design buildings, roads, bridges, storm water systems
Chemical Engineers
Work with physics, chemistry and biology
Design medicines, fertilizers, semiconductors, food
additives (such as flavorings)
Aerospace Engineers
Work with aerodynamics, propulsion and navigation
Design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, missiles, and rockets
There are many more disciplines!

14. What does it take to be an Engineer?
You don’t have to be a genius to be an Engineer…
People who become Engineers:
Are CURIOUS about how things work
Solve interesting life problems
Design and experiment
Calculate using math and science
Work with others as a team

15. Why be an Engineer? Fun Lots of Job Opportunities
Great variety in your work
You get to build or improve things
You get to use your creative ideas to solve problems
You get to work on a team
Lots of Job Opportunities
Engineers are in high demand
There are more engineering jobs than engineers
Your Education Continues
You will need to continue studying to remain relevant

26. Engineering Challenges
Steps To Follow
Collaboratively work in pairs to solve the task card.
First, identify the problem.
Next, discuss how to solve the problem.
Thirdly, make a plan to share the workload.
Then solve the problem.
At the end (when you are done), reflect on how you could solve it differently next time.
