Lesson 2 - Engineering in my community
Students have learned that service-learning involves a partnership with the community. In this activity, we want to make the connection to the students and their own community, in that engineering design is all around. Students will explore their lives, researching and identifying how engineers impact their standard of living. Students present their example of engineering to the class. These examples can be any type of technology that can make life easier, anything from a cup to an electronic devise. Students will bring in a picture or the actual item.
Video introducing this lesson will soon appear here.
