12 Accreditation What is accreditation? Why is it important? What is included in an accredited university engineering program? Other requirements Engineering and an Engineer’s Duty to Society A presentation by MAC, 2007

13 Let’s do some Engineering!

14 Crash-Test Egg! Challenge: Design & build a helmet for your egg to prevent “injury” upon impact Suggestions: –TALK briefly about ideas first –LISTEN to everyone in your group –Work together as a TEAM Constraints: –Limited time & materials –Eggs will be dropped from 2-2.5m –Helmet must fit INSIDE ziplock bag –You ONLY GET 1 EGG –You CAN’T TEST BEFORE OFFICIAL TESTING

15 The Strongest Structure Challenge: Design & build a structure from which you will hang a cup filled with heavy stuff…without tipping over! Suggestions: –TALK briefly about ideas first –LISTEN to everyone in your group –Work together as a TEAM Constraints: –Limited time & materials –Structure must be able to hold the cup and contents without tipping over –You CAN TEST BEFORE OFFICIAL TESTING
