Engineering Internship Project Activities

The video tutorial covers the final day of an engineering internship focused on plate motion. It begins with a warmup and reflection on the internship experience, followed by an overview of the engineering process. Students are introduced to examples of solutions for natural disasters and engage in a project brainstorming activity. They work in teams to select project ideas, define criteria, and receive feedback. The session concludes with final steps and a wrap-up of the internship.

What is the first activity students engage in during the engineering internship?

• Taking notes on the daily message

• Designing a tsunami alert system

• Brainstorming project ideas

• Reflecting on the internship

What was a key limitation of the tsunami alert system project?

• The project had no real-world application

• The project was not related to engineering

• Students had to work individually

• Students could not choose the problem

Which solution is suggested for preventing landslides?

• Building concrete walls

• Using wire cages filled with rocks

• Constructing levees

• Erecting earthquake-resistant buildings

What is the purpose of levees or dikes?

• To support earthquake-prone buildings

• To reduce flooding and tidal erosion

• To provide shelter during natural disasters

• To prevent landslides

What is the first step in the group activity involving envelopes?

• Brainstorming project ideas

• Writing criteria for a project

• Receiving feedback from other groups

• Passing the envelope to another group

What do students do after brainstorming project ideas?

• Start building a prototype

• Select a project idea to focus on

• Write criteria for all ideas

• Present their ideas to the class

How many rounds of criteria writing occur during the envelope activity?

• One

• Two

• Four

• Three

What is the final step in the engineering internship project?

• Reflecting on the internship experience

• Presenting the project idea

• Choosing three criteria for the project

• Collecting all envelopes

What do students do with the feedback they receive?

• Use it to start a new project

• Choose three criteria from it

• Ignore it

• Share it with other groups

What is included in the final project presentation?

• The engineering problem and selected criteria

• A summary of the internship experience

• A list of all brainstormed ideas

• A detailed prototype of the solution
