Instructor for the STEP Program

The instructor’s main role in the program is to learn from the developed leadership and decision making course curriculum and be a teacher and a facilitator of learning using the material. Instructors can expect to work with a class size of up to 16 middle school students. Course description listed below:

Engineering design is a process. In engineering, you develop a diverse set of skills that blend theoretical knowledge, practical problem-solving, and technical proficiency. Engineering is a broad field with many sub-disciplines (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, computer, and chemical engineering), but the skills learned are often transferable across different types of engineering. In this course students will practice researching, brainstorming and building, testing and improving, and using creative thinking to find practical applications for scientific discoveries. It involves problem-solving that is both academically rigorous and creatively demanding. Students will experience the “human side” of engineering, tackling a series of building challenges designed to get them thinking about ways that thoughtful design can improve people’s lives. Students will gain exposure to fields at UW-Madison that may be new to them, such as biomedical and transportation engineering. Students will discover the essence of engineering problem-solving and acquire the knowledge, skills, and mindset required to tackle real-world challenges with positive impact in the field of engineering.
