Today's Lesson:

Hello, everyone.  Today we will start a new unit where we get into another area of technology called Engineering.  There are many types of engineers and today we'll get a glimpse into this field.  We will take a quick survey to see what type of engineer you would be and then play a "physics game" for you to get a taste of what engineering is like.
