Engineering Ambassadors visit North Hills Middle School

On their fourth visit of the semester, the Engineering Ambassadors took a trip to North Hills middle school. The Engineering Ambassadors challenged the student's perceptions of what an engineer does and students learned about the diverse career options available to engineers. Several classes were visited by the Engineering Ambassadors and students were asked to put their engineering thinking caps on for a hands-on activity. Some students stepped into the shoes of electrical engineers, learning how to light up an LED using play-doh "squishy circuits" while other students became roller coaster specialists, building roller coasters with dips, dives and loops, while making sure their marble passengers made it safely to the end of the ride. The EAs capped off the day with a special assembly talking about the many career opportunities available to engineers.
