Create craft activities that can be related and
applied to each engineering discipline.

Civil Engineering Create craft activities that
can be related and applied to Civil
Engineering. Activity (1) Use gum drops and
toothpicks to build a build a bridge. Using
specified height, length, and width dimension
make the activity into a timed competition. Give
reward/prize for the design, strength,
etc. TORCH Activity should be linked back into
computer programs such as AUTOCAD or Paint. This
will allow CTC participants to use computer
programs to create designs electronically.
Similar activities may be substituted.

• Increase CTC participation and retention

Chemical Engineering Create an experiment that is
simple that can be related and applied to
Chemical Engineering. Activity (1) Create a
Hurricane in a bottle. Mix oil and water in a
clear bottle along with pieces of aluminum foil.
When shaken this will give the illusion of a
hurricane. Activity (2) Create slime polymers.
Use Elmer's White Glue, borax and water to cause
a chemical reaction that would create a slime
substance (putty). TORCH Coordinators should
use websites such as www.weather.com,
www.noaa.gov, http//earthquake.usgs.gov to show
CTC participant how to use such sites to track
changes in the weather for research purposes.
