In fact, the title of the course, “Engineering a Catastrophe”, explicitlydid not mention ethics to appeal to the widest audience. This seminar was described as exploringboth the engineering and cultural implications of recent and historical disasters with examplestaken from: natural (such as levee failures and earthquake damage), engineering (nuclear powergeneration and aerospace), and conflict (terrorism) tragedies. Students were prepared that theywould learn and discuss which factors led to these cataclysmic evens and how engineeringdevelopment, public policy, and society have responded.

replaces each of the 7 individual department’sintroductory course. Combining all of these individual introductory courses required closecoordination between the departments. The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, ChemicalEngineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, and EngineeringTechnology Industrial programs met to determine the critical topics that should be introduced tothe freshmen engineers. The many topics discussed by the course development team werereduced to the following set of introductory subjects deemed to be important knowledge for allof our engineering students. The technical subjects to be taught in ENGR100 are: • The Engineering Design Process • Flow Diagrams
” science topics included in the NGSS (such as Heredity, Biological Evolution, or Earth’s Place in the Universe) that saw the fewest alignments exist ubiquitously as fundamental topics for many engineering fields such as environmental engineering, aerospace engineering, genetic engineering, and biomedical engineering, among others. A great opportunity exists for K-12 engineering curriculum developers to focus on these overlooked science topics to creatively teach the concepts in the context of their real-world engineering connections.3. In order to differentiate the true engineering design process from trial and error design, K-12 engineering curriculum must incorporate both mathematics and science into engineering
time.The paper also discusses developing engineering mobile apps as a non-computer scientist. Thework determined that Abobe AIR development framework allows relatively easy development ofweb and mobile apps when compared to native programming or HTML5 with JavaScript. AIRalso avoids programming the same app three times (web browsers, Android and iOS).Programming with AIR framework requires using ActionScript which is similar to JavaScript orC#, and is reasonably easy to learn. Unlike traditional desktop (and laptop) computers, mobiledevices generally must download software through specific web sites such as Apple's iTunesApp Store and Google's Play Store.1 Introduction and Purpose of Torsion HPCBasic undergraduate aerospace and mechanical
