INTRODUCTIONAs part of a continuing effort to introduce high school students to the world of engineering,Omaha campus faculty at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Engineering andTechnology prepared a week-long series of workshops for high school teachers of math, science,and technology. The goal was to make engineering exciting to teachers and to give themworking projects they could take back to their classrooms, transferring that excitement andinterest to their students.Faculty were presented with the challenge of developing hands-on engineering applicationactivities which teachers could take directly into their classrooms. At the forefront of frustrationin developing these
