 How Science Inspires Engineering
 July 9-20, 2012
 (10 Days, Monday -Friday)
 
 For Upper Elementary and
 Middle School Educators
 
 Explore! Investigate! Invent! How Science Inspires Engineering will
 explore how inspirations for many of the products we use today and
 engineering solutions applied to human society are built upon
 understanding and observing the natural systems and living organisms
 in the world around us.
 
 "	Investigate the connections between science and engineering
 and get ready to meet the forthcoming science and engineering
 frameworks.
 
 "	Learn how to present the engineering design process to your
 students and how it relates to science inquiry.
 
 "	Explore examples of how science has provided engineers with
 the foundations to create solutions to real world problems such as
 flight, machine design, building practices and the development of
 items you use every day.
 
 "	Examine how the natural sciences (chemistry, physics,
 biology, earth, space and environmental sciences) inform engineering
 design and in turn, how engineering applications can lead to new
 questions for scientific research.
