They conduct research using print and internet resources to investigate engineering disciplines and the work of engineers. The students will examine the educational requirements necessary to become engineers and the purpose of engineering professional societies. Finally, student groups evaluate the impact engineers and engineering has on our everyday lives and create a multimedia public service announcement aimed at increasing public awareness of engineering and promote engineering education. || media type="custom" key="695349" ||   ||
