2023 National Engineers Week
National Engineering Week February 18-25, 2023
Nichole Rehm, PE and Sharon Walsh, PE spent the afternoon with our future engineers at Romig Middle School. The duo discussed how engineers develop and deliver consumer goods; design the transportation network of highways, air and rail travel; create and improve the internet; mass produce antibiotics; create artificial heart valves and other life saving medical devices; build lasers; and make wonders such as imaging technology and conveniences like microwave ovens and compact discs even possible. In short, engineers make our quality of life possible.
Romig students were able to participate in an engineering team task to either build a bridge or a tower using toothpicks and marshmallows. Students who chose to build a bridge were awarded for the longest span, stability, and most interesting. Students who chose to build a tower were awarded for height, stability, and most interesting.
