Class Field Trip
In our Applied Engineering class, Mr. Adkins is letting us choose where we would want to go on a field trip. I think we should go to Six Flags. Six Flags would be a great trip for this engineering class because it is a fun place and the whole park is based off of amazing engineering possibilities. This should take place in the spring, like in april or may. This is within a reasonable time to get there, which would maximize time at the site.
One possible idea is to contact the Six Flags engineers and have them give us a tour and teach us about how these rollercoasters are possible to build, and what makes them so fun. Everyone would enjoy the rides, and no matter what ride you are going on, there was a ton of engineering put into it that makes them work, and this would teach us a lot about the real-world engineering jobs and what they have to do.
This link shows how Six Flags is a combination of Science, Physics, and Engineering:
