You may exempt the fall semester final for IED, if you meet the school qualifications. If you want to exempt any engineering final, it will have to be the fall. The spring exam will be an end-of-course exam that is required by PLTW, so you will not be able to exempt regardless of your grade and attendance. I will add that this exam will be a preview of that final, so it would give you some insight as to what the EOC will look like for this course.
Speaking of final exams, be on the lookout for exemption forms. Be sure that you get yours and, by all means, turn it in filled out and signed correctly by the deadline: next Tuesday December 11.
Any women interested in engineering? Would you like a free lunch and a chance to talk with engineering students and faculty at UT? The UT Society of Women engineers is hosting an Encounter with Engineers on Saturday February 9. The link will take you to their event page where you can learn more about the day's events and how to register. You must register by January 11, 2013. That is over a month off, but don't put it off if you are interested. You can apply online. Below is a summary from their web page to get you a little more information.
Encounter with Engineering (EWE) is a day-long program created to introduce engineering to high school girls. EWE is a great introduction the different engineering fields and is a great opportunity for students to find out about engineering, what they can do with a degree, and talk to engineering students. This event is entirely free, and lunch is provided. Many of our past EWE participants have been inspired to pursue a career in engineering. We strongly encourage girls in grades 10 and 11 to participate.
Make sure that you are checking on any missing work and getting your grades up now. Progress reports go out this week, but you only have a week left after that before finals start. You want to be first in line to get what you need from me or any other teacher before the semester ends.
