Today was the first day of brainstorming.
I, along with my group leader and members (Tsuyoshi Henry Nakajima, Rebecca Merson, Patrick Macellus, and David Misiaczuk) had the following ideas.
In terms of making a Powerpoint or handout, we will include:
(i) Global warming
(ii)Climate changes (e.g. greenhouse gases)
(iii) importance of new generation of engineers.
If climate changes is our main topic, we will have several subtopics as follows:
-differences between long time ago and nowadays (or past and now)
->Change in way of thinking (going green)
-why do we have have to do so?
-what engineers have been doing
->new projects-Future
->Future plans
As for the experiment, we decide to make a generator
-(Video sample about hydroelectric generator project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4eZJJbkABs)
-Materials: copper wire, magnet, metal/plastic, light bulb
Professor suggestions:
-Everything last for 25 to 30 minute
-Powerpoint is optional
