Introduction to Engineering - Wednesday, 3rd Period

“Welcome back,” Goose said as he started the lecture for the second week and was wearing shoes, he grimaced a bit “I apologise for last week, I can assure you that it wasn’t normal,” they would have been able to tell that by the sudden lack of pauses in his sentences

“Today we’ll begin an overview of engineering and looking at how it’s advanced over time, for the purpose of this class we will be focusing on the history up to present time,” he paused and glanced at Alara, “and this is of course the engineering history of Earth,”

“There are many disciplines of engineering and we will be looking at some of these modules throughout this course but today’s lesson is designed to provide the historical context and noted achievements that have helped shape engineering today,”

He began to go through some of the earliest accomplishments in engineering, making note of early achievements such as those of the invention of the wheel through to the ancient era and how these designs were the foundations for how engineering would later develop and form to how it was studied and applied in modern times .

He also made note of the different kinds of engineering and what was involved with each discipline. The last topic he covered was a look at what was considered to be the greatest achievements in engineering in the twentieth century


“For today’s discussion, I would like to ask what each of you think is in an important achievement in engineering and why,” he nodded at the class to signal they could start the discussion.

Look, Troy definitely was glad that the goose guy quit it with the long pauses, but speaking normally was probably not going to help him from spacing out or just not paying as close attention to the lecutre as he should, but he did try, at least!

“I think the car was a pretty important invention Mr. Gooseman,” Jo decided on, “it allows for quicker travel rather than relying on a train or boat,” at least it was quicker travel with the way her dad drove.

“I think aerospace engineering is a pretty important achievement,” Alara said with a grin, “at least in regards to my time, Earth wouldn’t have formed part of the Planetary Union without being capable of space flight,”

Troy had taken a second to consider what his classmates said for a moment, and that he agreed with both of them and those were pretty good answers. He could try to think of a good answer to offer out in addition, or he could go with an answer that he felt was probably not as broad or whatever, but was honestly the best thing he could think of.

Especially once he thought of it and decided it was the best.

"Whatever sort of engineering went into making Easy Cheese a thing," he decided.
