In this class, students will learn about designing and building basic engineering structures. Brian Oakes will cover basic principles of aeronautics, naval architecture, physics, and structural engineering, all with an emphasis on creative problem solving and real-world application. Our engineering experiments may include building a tower, gate, dollhouse, kite, etc.
