Engineering 101, Wednesday Period 2 - Lesson 1, January 10

Geordi sat behind his desk as he waited for his students to enter the classroom. Once everyone was seated and the noise had calmed down he stood up and walked around to the front of his desk. He surveyed the class before he spoke, “Good morning and welcome to Engineering 101,” he said in a clear voice, hoping that his nervousness wasn’t visible, “I’m Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge, you may address me as either Commander or Professor LaForge, I have no preference as to which.”



He paused, “as you can see from the syllabus on your desk this is going to a pretty intense course and it is important that you keep up to date with the work, however it is has also been designed for those who have had little or no experience with engineering so if the latter concerns you there really is no need to worry. If for some reason you discover that you’re having difficulties with any of the topics covered throughout the course feel free to see me and I’ll be happy to help, my contact details and office hours are on a separate sheet of paper on your desk,”

He leaned against his desk, “now today is going to be a basic class, just to cover what you should expect in this course and general introductions. Now I’d like for each of you to give me your name, year, one fact about you and why you’re taking Engineering 101,” he gave a small smile, “I’ll start, I’m Geordi LaForge, I’m a teacher, I’m currently taking leave from my position as Chief Engineer on the Federation starship Enterprise and I’m teaching engineering because I was offered the position as Engineering Professor even though I haven’t actually taught at a high school before,” he motioned at one of the students for them to give their introductions.

[wait for the OCD is up!]

"My name's Bridge Carson, I'm a Cadet at the SPD Academy, and I'm here because I've spent most of my life building and repairing electronics and things, but I'd like to get some formal training."

"Hi! I'm Rikku, and I'm an Al Bhed, and ... " She bounces a bit and tries to reword her thoughts. "It's kinda like what he said." She points at Bridge. "I can take things apart and put them back together but I don't know how they work or why and all that and I want to."

Rikku is so excited that she's going to burst at this point.

"A starship ... is a starship like an airship? You mean, you fly on one and you know how it works and if it breaks you can fix it? And you can teach me?!?"

Rikku scoots her chair over near Bridge's. "You, too? I mean, you like tinkering with machina and making it work?"

"My name's Lucas. Computers are my thing, mostly robotics and AI, but I can pretty much figure out how anything works if I've got the schematics or enough time. I used to live on a submarine called the SeaQuest where I was a computer engineer...and now I'm here." He didn't sound too happy about it, but he was getting used to the idea.

"Hello!" Kaylee greeted excitedly. "My name's Kaylee and I'm from the future. I'm here because I'm the mechanic on my ship back home. Even though I keep her runnin' and I know how to repair things, I ain't ever had formal trainin.'"

"My name is Willow Rosenberg," Willow said. "I'm a junior and I love working with anything computer related. I figured this class would help add pep to my computer step."

Peter stared at the syllabus and tried very, very hard not to headdesk. The signup sheet really needed to indicate they were talking about spaceships and not siege engines.
