Engineering is an incredibly broad field covering far more interests and content than can be covered in one (or three classes). Because of this, there is no reason to force everyone to learn the same things and do the same projects all year. Instead, I hope to let everyone take a higher degree of ownership for their own learning and to pursue knowledge and projects of their interest. Just letting you free to go work on whatever project can be overwhelming, however, and it is my feedback that guided instruction and learning is something which most of you still want. To find this balance between guided instruction and freedom of projects & learning, we will each create individual Learning Plans for the next approximate three week (tentatively ending February 8th, but subject to change!).
This learning plan will outline: 1. What is your learning goal for these three weeks
2. What final project do you hope to create (should tentatively take ~1½ weeks to plan and complete).
3. What you need to learn in order to create this project and meet this learning goal. These fall into three categories: 1. Procedural skills to master
4. What steps can we take in order to learn these? (~1½ weeks)
5. How will you know when you have learned these learning goal categories?
6. Are there any resources needed or anything else that needs to be addressed before you get started?
