Engineering Careers Web Quest: Hard Skills vs. Soft Skills
Many students don't have a clue about how to apply for a job or look at job descriptions. They don't understand that what they do in the classroom connects to their future performance on a job. This is a great exercise using www.Indeed.com. It requires that the students have access to a computer so that they can do their research. The actual assignment can be done via the computer (if the teacher converts this to a google doc), or this assignment can be printed as a worksheet to help the stu

Earthquake Building Lab w Flat Rate Boxes
This lab uses FREE small USPS flat rate boxes to model buildings in a earthquake zone. You can pick them up for FREE from your local post office, or have them delivered in bulk to your school. Challenge your students to produce buildings that would withstand more earthquake forces. You can also have your students use TinkerCAD to model their home. Your students then modify their building to withstand a greater magnitude earthquake. You can expand this into a building project like the toothpick b
