About This Lesson
The purpose of this unit is to expose our middle school students to the process of engineering and connecting what they learn to viable career options. We want students to walk away with an understanding of the many different areas of careers that fall under the title of engineer and connect some hands-on examples of what real world engineers do. Students will have a new understanding of the teambuilding and problem solving aspects of the engineering career as well as interview actual engineers who work in the field.
