My instructor for Principles of Engineering was Mr. Paul Kane. (Yes, that is the same Mr. Kane who has been in FIRST since 1992, and mentors Team 20.)
I don't recall ever doing this presentation, but I have heard of it being used. I think Mr. Kane just threw my name on there as an example when he was generating curriculum materials for PLTW (he was one of the driving forces behind parts of the curriculum).
So... yes my name, not my presentation.
(Though, it is possible they took a great deal of it from my Tensile Testing report. Which was 100% awesome.
)
FYI--
The things I learned in the tensile testing unit of Principles of Engineering has proved VERY useful to me as a mechanical engineering student. This course is really the first taste I got of Mechanics of Materials, and Strength of Materials; both of which would come up again, and again, and AGAIN en route to becoming an engineer, and also would be seen at work, and in everyday life.
Learn as much as you can now! It WILL help later.
So... who else from PLTW has seen my name pop up? Very weird.
