This series of activities in this unit provides background knowledge for students to ultimately understand the science of papermaking at a molecular level. These activities will include learning about carbohydrates, building models to demonstrate how polysaccharides form in condensation reactions, watching videos describing the general steps in the papermaking process, and learning about how additives to pulp can enhance the overall strength of a finished paper product. This knowledge will be used to provide the tools for students to explore papermaking in an inquiry-based format. Upon demonstration of the basics of making handmade paper with a papermaking kit, students will be challenged to change variables to determine which set of parameters results in the highest quality paper. This will truly be engineering design, but at the molecular level.
When talking to numerous departments at Reinhart Foodservice, all department heads emphasized the need for communication between departments and wanting to hire employees who possess excellent soft skills.
For this unit, students will complete a job experience, job shadow, or community service experience where they will observe communication at the workplace as well as note examples of soft skills in the workplace. Students will also explain how they used communication skills and soft skills. Finally, they will present their findings in a PowerPoint presentation.
This will be a 2-3 day lesson where a student will learn how to cut a slot for a keyway in a pulley, sprocket, or wheel.
This lesson plan is designed to enhance understanding and awareness of essential soft skills and employability skills for success in the workplace. Students will create a cover letter for a job they want and incorporate their strengths and weaknesses into their letter.

Students will be using real-life energy use data to learn how to use spreadsheets and create graphs to better organize and view data. Discussions can then follow to analyze the data and explain the usage. Real rates are then provided, and students can use the electricity consumed data to create a utility bill for the consumer and compare the standard Residential Service charges to if the member were instead billed by the “Time of Use” rate.
Students will choose an engineering sub-discipline of their choice and present information about it to their peers in a presentation style of their choice. The presentation must include some type of multimedia format (Powerpoint, Prezi, Slides, Keynote, etc.)
Students use research and observation data (field trip) to objectively rank potential career opportunities to help guide their individual career choice and pathway.
Learning goals/objectives:
After completing this unit, students should be able to utilize an objective method for evaluating potential careers. Students will determine what career types and opportunities are best suited to themselves personally and defend their choices.

Students will increase their understanding of the forest as a renewable resource by learning about forest management techniques and developing a forestry management plan.
In an earlier lesson, students learned about the steel making and forging process. In this lesson, students will create a die using a 3D printer and then forge a part using play-dough. The lesson culmination will be a trip to the local business “Walker Forge” located in Clintonville, WI.
This lesson will allow students to think about and understand the route that a food service product takes in order to get to the customer from start (customer ordering) to finish (delivery to customer). Students will also brainstorm and research the different departments/specific careers that are needed in order to accomplish this goal of food service distribution. ServSafe will also be explored since we are discussing products that are food related.
