Extra-Curricular Activities Credit

You can earn up to an additional 4% extra credit by doing one or more of the following. You will need to show some documentation or proof of the activities:

· (2%) Join (must submit written proof) a national or international technical professional organization such as:

o ASME – American Society of Mechanical Engineers

o AIAA – American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics

o ASC – American Society for Composites

o SAE – Society for Automotive Engineers

o SAMPE – Society for the Advancement of Materials and Process Engineering

o Or others (check with me to see if the organization qualifies)

· (2%) Make a 5 minute presentation in class about an interesting machine, technical article, job, engineering/science story that is somehow related to this class. Send me a short powerpoint file (10 slides or less). I will review and let you know if it is appropriate and schedule it sometime during the semester.

· (2%) Volunteer to help with a department, college, or local technical event. This could be helping with a new student orientation, lab tours, judging a science fair, participating in a research project, or working on a student design competition such as Human Powered Vehicle or Mini–Baja. (15 hours of activities over the semester).
