Time to Choose

Before the meeting:

1. On half sheets of paper list the three engineering disciplines: civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering.
2. Set up meeting space so Cub Scouts can fill out their choices on paper.

During the meeting:

1. Review the three disciplines with Cub Scouts:
   • Civil engineers plan, design, construct, maintain, or operate infrastructure — like roads, bridges, and water plants — while protecting the public and environmental health.
   • Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, or power generation equipment.
   • Mechanical engineers plan, design, construct, maintain and/ or operate machines that use power, generate power, or involve force or movement.
2. Pass out the paper and pencils. Ask Cub Scouts to write their choices in order of interest listing their top choice first.
3. Tally the votes and announce the winner.
