  2. Stats of BSS Engineering 2011 • Biology- 3 • Math- 12 • Physics- 1 • Programming- 4 • Creative/Building- 8

  3. What Can You Fit in Your Pockets? • Mirror • Knife - 5 • Waterproof Solar Tracker (pocketsize?) • Lighter • Water Filter - 2 • Canteen (pocketsize?) • Metal Cup (does it fold up? Not a functioning cup…) • Flare gun (Do we need a pocket seminar?) • Shoes (Are you not already wearing a pair?) • Pocket Boat

  4. Engineer vs. Inventor Always improving! Why Fix What Isn’t Broken? Observes a problem Makes a solution Solution fails Goes back for revisions Solution works! • Observes a problem • Makes a solution • Solution fails • Goes back for revisions (5 Step Engineering Process) • Solution works! • Improves Solution to be most efficient

  5. Sustainability • “Getting by with what you have” –Georgios • Sustainability- • Definition • Meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. • Includes inventing plus cost, environment (Green?), and ethical restrictions • Example- not asking for help • Ex- Borrowing Resources (Not Sustainable) • United States buying Oil from Asia • Asking Mom for more money • More examples? (Izzy, I’ll be calling on you)
