On Friday July 14th, the Massey Air Museum concluded the 2023 one-week summer course for high school students, ‘Introduction to Aviation Engineering.’ The five students came from Kent County High School, Worton, MD and First State Military Academy, Clayton, DE.
The course is offered at no cost to local high school age students who may be considering a career in aviation, whether as a technician, a pilot or an engineer. In addition to classroom studies, the program includes learning the basics of flight control by guiding each student in how to make and fly rubber band model aircraft and build and launch small rockets.
The course offers a variety of flight experiences including in-flight problem solving. Each student received individual flights in a Piper Cherokee (four place, cabin light aircraft) and a Stearman biplane (open cockpit, tandem seat, WW2 military trainer).
Europe District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, manages the construction of Wiesbaden Middle School. Contractors Wolff & Müller and Peter Gross broke ground in November 2017 and are scheduled to complete construction by the 2018-19 school year. The two-story school will house 540 students in sixth through eighth grades.
The school is designed to develop 21st-century “skills and habits” by accommodating student-centered education with functional spaces. And the building becomes a teaching tool with systems and building components exposed to provide real-world relevance and examples to reinforce the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculum.
The school has increased energy efficiency with teaching models of renewable energy production to reinforce what can be done for greater energy independence. Sustainable features: Anticipated LEED Silver rating, low-flow plumbing fixtures that will generate a 41 percent savings annually, over 90 percent of the classrooms and offices have views to the outdoors. Studies show that natural lighting increases math and verbal scores. There are CO2 monitors in classrooms. Studies show a correlation between lower CO2 levels and higher levels of learning.

Still obviously under construction, but it looks like a pretty interesting (and pretty imposing) building. Looks like there'll be a LOT of glass, and the view from this side (out onto the river) will be nice.

From the section on transporter bridges. The Newport Transporter Bridge still operates, run as a charitable organisation, open in the summer months. It was built in 1906. The Widnes-Runcorn Transporter Bridge was built in 1905, the first of its type in Britain and the largest in the world. It closed in 1961 and was demolished.
A very informative boys’ (in those days!) book on engineering feats published in the late 1920s or early 1930s by Ward, Lock & Co of London and Melbourne. Although it is not dated, it is possible to ascertain the rough period from the content. The Hudson River Bridge in New York is shown, described with an artist’s impression of the “proposed” bridge which was actually completed and opened to traffic in 1936.
This building is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever come across - such an amazing design. Taken in: Pretoria / Main Campus / University of Pretoria

FORT STEWART, Ga. – Members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District, Fort Stewart Resident Office visited Diamond Elementary School April 4 to promote careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Matt Kilmer, a mechanical engineer, and Craig Walters, a civil engineer, talked to an estimated 125 students grades K-6 about STEM careers offered by the Corps of Engineers. The “STEMposium” featured a day-long expo with presentations from the Corps of Engineers in addition to other community groups such as Georgia Southern, Savannah State University, Gulfstream, and Georgia Power. This event was hosted by one of the Corps' military customers, the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). The Corps' participation in this important STEM outreach event further reinforced its partnership with DoDEA and supports the Corps' commitment to serving warfighters and their families.

The Tool is a sixty-inch triple chrome-plated adjustable pipe wrench, forged by the Ridge Tool Company of Elyria, OH, USA. It is the only known fully chromed pipe wrench of its type in the world, and is the mascot of the University of Waterloo Engineering Society. Its history goes back to the early days of the University.
In the late 1960s, the Engineering Society had no official mascot. Being barely 10 year old, the Society decided to begin the process of selecting and acquiring an object that would become the Society’s official mascot and icon – something to represent the immense pride and spirit that Waterloo Engineering had.
Several ideas were discussed, but the two most popular ideas for a mascot were a pipe wrench (a symbol of the “Plummer and Proud of It” attitude championed by Ken Loach, Chemical ’71), and a sword. Through a public vote in meetings of both Society “A” and Society “B”, it was determined that the wrench would be the mascot, and it would be big.
Jim Pike, Society “A” President at the time, then began the search for the new mascot, and while on a co-op work term, found a suitable choice: the Ridge Tool Company’s straight pipe wrench model No. 60. However, at a cost of $350, it was unattainable for the young Engineering Society.
Jim decided to send a letter to the Ridge Tool Company and explain what they wanted to do, what the wrench would mean to the society, and if they would donate one. The company’s response was an overwhelming “yes” with only two conditions: that it would be known as “The Ridgid Tool”, and that it would retain its original orange colours out of respect for the Ridge Tool Company.
The Tool was chromed within a few hours of Pike picking it up from the supplier in the summer of 1968, although he admits that he “should have had a Chemical Engineer along to explain what happens to orange paint in a chrome dip.” As for the name “The Ridgid Tool”, he won’t say what exactly happened, except that it did get lots of mileage and notoriety before the official name change.
With The Tool coming to the University of Waterloo, it was determined that a group of dedicated students was needed to protect it and thus, the Action Committee was formed. It was their duty to be the official guardians of the Tool in public and in private. Over time, these students came to be known as Tool Bearers, and the Action Committee was dissolved. There are no publicly known details about the Tool Bearers today, except that whenever the Tool is around, they are as well, silently guarding it in their black and gold uniform.
