Inventor 101

Happy day everyone!


This week, we will start working on Inventor software. Now, think about the fact that all of you will be working with a software used by professional engineers. While you are using the software in class today, real engineers are currently using it to design houses, bridges, ipods, computers, cars, earrings etc.

Today's Do now:

Post a comment on my blog by answering the following questions:

1. What are the things that you would like to design on the software?
2. How do you think that software will help you in the future?
3. What is the thing you are most excited about?

Welcome AWESOME sophmores!

I have been missing you all so much!

You are my true inspiration! SO please do not disappoint the teacher! We are going to use the blog a little more this year! You will have to document EVERY project that you do in class. You will basically create an electronic portfolio, in where you will document all the things you learn in class.

Benefits of electronic portfolio:

Document your learning.
Do not take space.
Organize your projects.
Enhance your computer skills.
Student collaboration.

Good bye Freshman year!

Hello everyone!

I really hope that you had a wonderful semester in engineering class. I really enjoyed working with each one of you and I hope to see you next year.

Please follow the instructions provided below;

1) To follow up with the Field lesson, I would like you to visit the following website to find more information about the top engineering schools in the nation.

http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/rankings

-Find an interesting university and check if they offer the career in engineering that you like the most.

-Find the application requirements, tuition cost and scholarship opportunities.

-Record all this information on a word document.

2) Open a Google widow and type summer engineering programs.
Find at least three summer engineering programs and record information on a word document.
Find information about the program, requirements, cost and deadline to apply.


3) Send all the information to my e-mail: mariel.robles@ideapublicschools.org.

Have fun!

Semester is almost over!

I am very sad! The semester is almost over and I am very, very sad! I am going to miss all my students alot! Students in this class are super good with technology. I really hope to see all of them next year on Engineering 2. Before the leave, I would like to hear more about their experience in IDEA San Juan, I hope they like it!

Weekend !

What I did over the weekend was to spend time with my family!

I went to the movies and watched the blind side. I really enjoyed the movie and I hope you can go watch it.

Finally, my husband gave me an early birthday present; We are going to ski for my birthday!

We are going to Lake Oswego, Oregon and we will be skiing for that weekend.

Welcome to the Engineering blog site! This blogsite is dedicated to global warming! You will find useful information about what is currently happening with global warming and how we can help to fight it using Solar Energy.

The Sun is an essentially unlimited source of free energy—the amount of solar energy that reaches Earth's surface in just one hour is more than the total amount of energy that the world would use in a year. Furthermore, unlike the consumption of fossil fuels, the consumption of solar energy does not produce harmful emissions. The ability to capture and convert solar radiation into usable energy is a great opportunity to make use of an environmentally friendly and abundant source of energy.

Everyone can use Solar energy in your house instead of regular electricity y installing solar panels at the top of you house and to produce energy by absorbing the energy produced by the sun.

I will post a picture of a solar panel house.
