TEAM 2000 Will Be Held
June 7 - 9, 2000
By Al Womac
Tomorrow's Engineers And Managers (TEAM) is a course for high school faculty
specializing in either science or math. TEAM consists of hands-on demonstrations,
lectures, problem solving activities, and development of high school teaching modules/
lesson plans that use practical biosystems engineering examples to illustrate the
application of science and math concepts.
Teaming concepts are introduced and reinforced through cooperative projects
between high school and university faculty. The course is designed to capitalize on the
teaching expertise of high school faculty and the technical subject expertise of university
faculty in developing high school teaching modules.
The TEAM 2000 focus area is Heat Transfer with practical applications including:
- The Engineering Design Process
- A Heating Design Activity
- Energy and Mass Balance of Processes
- Spreadsheets
- Heat Transfer Calculations
- Living Organisms
- Microbial Growth Calculations
Use of Microsoft ExcelŽ spreadsheet to solve problems is introduced to simplify
repetitive calculations for examining "what-if" situations - and is applicable to grades
maintenance, etc.
Continuing education units are available or optional Graduate credit (1 hr) is
available with completion of a subject-related teaching module/ lesson plan following the
on-campus class work.
