Published Engineering Unleashed Cards:
Judging Risk, Value, and Opportunity in Beam Design (Card #5111)
An entrepreneurial-minded engineering learning activity that engages students in evaluating structural design alternatives through the broader considerations of risk, value, and opportunity, connecting technical engineering decisions with stakeholder needs and practical constraints.
Design, Build, Break: Reinforced Concrete Beam Challenge (Card #6318)
A hands-on reinforced concrete design experience in which students move from engineering analysis and design to fabrication and experimental testing. The activity provides an authentic opportunity to compare predicted and observed structural behavior while developing engineering judgment, teamwork, and an entrepreneurial mindset.
