High school is just a stepping stone towards your future.
We are going to look at different options for careers and job opportunities in different fields of engineering.
Regardless of where you think you will be in ten years… knowing your options and potential ways to make income and stimulate the economy is an important part of your role and responsibility as part of a healthy society.
Objective of Assignment:
Post Secondary options:
I will provide a list of some potential specialties and types of Engineering for you to research and report back on. You will put together a presentation to share with the class using your choice of media (Powerpoint, Google Slides, home made video/film, etc).
Presentation requirements
Individual assignment. NO ONE MAY PICK THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINEER. We will have a sign up sheet
Hand your presentation digitally as well as your printed out “script” hard-copy on the day of your presentation
**Should include both photo and video aspects**
Should be 5-10 minutes long
Video portions should not take up more than half your presentation unless it is footage you have written, filmed, and edited yourself. (See me for details)
We should be able to understand your talking and ability to answer appropriate questions
Be an “Expert” on the field of study requirements
Presentation should be accessible from any computer (google slides) or saved to a USB drive so we can easily hook it up to the projector
You should practice doing the presentation at home and time yourself so you meet the requirements.
Questions to Be Addressed (minimum)
At a bare minimum these questions should be answered in your presentation and written report. You should be able to answer questions during your presentation as well.
Timeline to prepare and to present:
You will have 5 days of in class time with a laptop cart to research, prepare, and create a multimedia slideshow presentation.
Day 1 starts Friday, January 31st 2020 - Chromebook Cart G
Day 2 - Tuesday February 4 - Chromebook Cart G
Day 3 - Thursday February 6 - Chromebook Cart G
Day 4 - Monday February 10 - Chromebook Cart G
Day 5 - Wednesday February 12 (flex day short class) - Chromebook Cart G
Day 6 - Presentations start - Friday February 14
Day 7 - Presentations finish - Wednesday February 19
How you will be graded:
No Boring Presentations
•Use a joke. Be interesting. Show a funny video or picture that is RELEVANT to your subject matter
•Engage the audience by asking them a question.
•If someone is one their phone while you are talking do something about it (while remaining calm and professional)
•No swearing or inappropriate content

At a bare minimum these questions should be answered in your presentation and written report. You should be able to answer questions during your presentation as well.
- Type of “engineer”
- Required post-secondary/training
- Specific role and job responsibilities. What do you do and how does it impact the economy, world around us, etc?!
- Future job prospects (will the jobs still exist in 20 years)
- Environmental impacts of this career field
- All interesting information about this career. Examples of everything!

How you will be graded:
- Quality of presentation material
- Multimedia (photos, videos, graphs, etc)
- Written portions are easy to read from the back of the room
- Subject knowledge. Do you know what you are presenting on?
- Clarity of your talking. Can we all hear and understand you in the room?
- Did you look up and actually try to engage with the audience or did you stare at your script the whole time?

A big list of types of engineering fields (and I'm sure there are more)
STEP 1:
Your first step in this assignment is choosing an interesting field of engineering to study and present on. This is a list I have compiled that includes some of the local post secondary choices. Choose one and sign up on the class sign up form so we do not have repeat presentations.
