Youngsters see fun in engineering

Bill Swart, chair of Industrial Engineer­ ing and Management, has been working with a selected group of fifth and sixth graders at Orange Center Elementary School for one hour a week this semes­ ter, proving to them that engineering can be fun. His entree into pre-teen minds was the hamburger. "Everybody likes ham­ burgers, particularly kids. So I talked to them about building a hamburger and planning how to do it on an assembly line basis. "For an hour every Friday afternoon I work with a group of 24 youngsters. They are divided into six teams to com­ pete in designing a workplace, listing the steps to take, measuring their work by a time study and simulating by pre­ tending before they really do the job," he said.
