Other 2011 Penn honorary degree recipients included Renée C. Fox, the Annenberg Professor Emeri
Art in Engineering - Moving Art
Students learn how forces are used in the creation of art. They come to understand that it is not just bridge and airplane designers who are concerned about how forces interact with objects, but artists as well. As "paper engineers," students create their own mobiles and pop-up books, and identify and use the forces (air currents, gravity, hand movement) acting upon them.
Watt meters to measure energy consumption
Students use watt meters to measure the power required and calculate energy used from various electrical devices and household appliances.
Solving Energy Problems
The culminating energy project is introduced and the technical problem solving process is applied to get the students started on the project. By the end of the class, the students should have a good perspective on what they have already learned and what they still need to learn to complete the project.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton
This 2:31 video is student done and contains some images of Stanton. The verbage lacks insights and skips over the many events that should have been mentioned. At best this could be shown to students as a quick overview of what they could do with the cavet that more research is needed.

somewhat mathematical, but I do not wish for anyone to get hung up on the math. I will cover
mathematical topics as we need them. If you need any additional help, please ask in class, ask in
my office, or ask in math-help. The four (4
