Engineering Internship Activities and Concepts

The video tutorial covers the final day of an engineering internship focused on applying engineering skills. It begins with a warmup and reflection on the internship experience, followed by completing an exit survey. The session then transitions to an overview of the engineering process, specifically designing a tsunami alert system. Students are introduced to examples of solutions for natural disasters, such as landslides and flooding. The main activity involves a group project where students brainstorm and select project ideas, define criteria, and receive feedback from peers. The session concludes with sharing project ideas and criteria.

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

• Discussing the tsunami alert system

• Reflecting on the internship

• Completing the daily intern exit survey

• Starting with a warmup

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

• Students could not choose the project criteria

• Students had to work individually

• The project was not related to natural disasters

• The project was optional

Which solution is suggested for preventing landslides?

• Erecting earthquake-resistant buildings

• Constructing levees

• Using wire cages filled with rocks

• Building concrete walls

What is the purpose of levees or dikes?

• To prevent landslides

• To reduce flooding and tidal erosion

• To support earthquake-prone buildings

• To provide shelter during natural disasters

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

• Receiving feedback from other groups

• Writing criteria for a project

• Brainstorming project ideas

• Passing the envelope to another group

What do students do after brainstorming project ideas?

• Select a project idea to focus on

• Write criteria for all ideas

• Discard the ideas that are not feasible

• Present their ideas to the class

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

• Four

• One

• Two

• Three

What is the final step in the engineering internship project?

• Receiving feedback from the instructor

• Choosing the best project idea

• Collecting all envelopes

• Sharing the project idea and criteria

What do students do with the feedback they receive?

• Choose three criteria for their project

• Ignore it

• Start a new project

• Return it to the instructor

What is included in the final project presentation?

• Feedback from other groups

• A detailed project report

• The project idea and selected criteria

• Only the project idea
