STEM Exploring Mechanisms
40042-7Description
The purpose of the STEM Exploring Mechanisms course is to enable students to take on the role of a mechanical engineer in a real-world scenario. The course explores, educates, and challenges students with the basic skills associated with civil and mechanical engineering. Using the mechanisms suitcase trainer, students are challenged with designing a plan to transport a house from its original location to a newly-prepared specialized foundation.
Our integrated approach to STEM emphasizes innovation, problem-solving, critical-thinking, and creativity using hands-on training systems that allow students to apply math/science fundamentals to complete projects using the engineering design process. Students learn concepts related to STEM disciplines in a “learning by doing” environment.
