Portal History

There is a hope to increase the amount of learning materials regarding engineering and technology, and this page has served as a framework to assist in the organization of content.

An engineering portal and technology portal are viewable on Wikipedia.

Selected biography

Thomas Young (*June 14, 1773 – †May 10, 1829) was an English scientist, researcher, physician and polymath. He is sometimes considered to be "the last person to know everything": that is, he was familiar with virtually all the contemporary Western academic knowledge at that point in history. Clearly this can never be verified, and other claimants to this title are Gottfried Leibniz, Leonardo da Vinci, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Johann Wolfgang Goethe and Francis Bacon, among others. Young also wrote about various subjects to contemporary editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica. His learning was so prodigious in scope and breadth that he was popularly known as "Phenomenon Young."

Here are some tasks you can do: Create a pre-engineering curriculum, i.e., a list of coursework common to most all engineering disciplines. Add learning materials for the School of Engineering Build courses based on available learning materials on Wikiversity Add courses based on the classes that you are currently teaching/taking. Add a page on the contents of each day of class at the end of the day. You will learn the material better and help us all learn.

• Create audio files, like Blues basics for use as background music in cisLunarFreighter
• Create Foley Effects like Rocket Engines at liftoff and thrusters when manuevering cisLunarFreighter
• A design study is needed[1] to support business planning for a LOX Plant at Lunar Boom Town.
