ENGINEER

Objectives

• I will– Investigate three types of Engineers of my choice– Create a PowerPoint Journal describing 3 types of

engineers: What they do, How they make a difference in the world, and 2 cool facts

– Design a roller coaster based on Engineering principles using a roller coaster simulation

– Reflect on my discovery and provide my opinion about the 3 types of Engineering I investigated today
