 * Careers in Engineering**

This is a project that will last the entire semester. You and another person that I teach will be paired together. The computer picked who you are working with so you may not know them and they may not be in the same period as you. Whenever you finish work early in my class you may get on one of my students computers to work on this project. The due date for this project is May 18, 2012.

You and your partner are going to pick a career in Engineering to research. You will be making a powerpoint presentation about this career. This will be difficult since your parner may not be in your class. You can send emails over the wiki to keep in contact with each other, or you can leave a note on the project page. What I suggest is that each partner just add to the powerpoint whenever they are able to. You and your partner will always need to work at the same computer so that you can save it at that computer. You will not upload it to this site until the powerpoint is complete. You can temporarily keep information on your team page until you upload the final powerpoint.

Once you pick a career, you will need to research a few things. This is what must be included in your powepoint:
 * You will need to find the names of five people who do this job.
 * You will need information about these five people.
 * You will need to find out what they studied in college.
 * You will need to find out an average of how much money they make a year.
 * You will need to explain what do people in this career actually do.

As we get farther into the semester I may make additions to this list so please check back here, everytime you log onto Wiki. I look forward to some great presentations!!
