The Atlee MSiC Engineering Camp… Eileen Malick – Atlee High School
Are you an Engineer? Answering “Yes” Creative? Love Solving Puzzles? Consider Engineering as a Career! Good at Math & Science? Know how things work? Want to help the world?
The Idea… The Atlee MSiC Engineering Camp is a week-long camp for middle-school students to learn about several branches of engineering by applying math and science skills. APPLICATION+ Math Science Technology Engineering
Branches of Engineering 1. Aerospace Engineering 2. Electrical Engineering 3. Mechanical Engineering 4. NEW! Nuclear Engineering 5. Software Engineering 6. Systems Engineering
Why Nuclear Engineering? Nuclear Engineering Harness the power of nuclear energy & radiation! Nuclear Power Plants Aircraft Carriers X-rays Submarines
Triad of Rooms Yellow Room Green Room Blue Room Application Mathand multimedia lessons in a computer lab. Building and engineering a new item each day (Lab). Q & A session with actual Engineers in the field
Camp History… 2011 2009 2010 2008 • 2nd Installment of the Atlee MSiC Engineering Camp • 21st Cent.
