New and Exciting Lesson Plans  February 3rd, 2014

At this year’s teacher workshop we introduced two new teams of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering students.  These seniors at Oregon State University have created several new amazing lesson plans for middle school teachers.  We hope these lesson plans make their way into your classroom and help with the Middle School Challenge!

  • During the Teacher’s Workshop, teachers were taught the mechanics behind a push and pull manufacturing system.  Both systems can be seen in our everyday lives.  It is a great short activity that only requires paper and pencils.  We encourage you to check out this activity!
  • Instructions are also an important factor in the manufacturing process.  In this lesson plan students will decode different instructions and explore their clarity.

Our Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering team was thrilled to showcase these lessons at the Teacher Workshop and are excited to share more lessons on this blog.  Check back soon to see additional engineering lesson plans.
