Engineering Studies

NETS-101 students put the engineering design process into action by designing, building, and testing mousetrap-powered cars. They defined the problem, established criteria, brainstormed solutions, and modeled ideas in Excel before developing prototypes in Fusion and presenting their designs to clients. After receiving client approval, students were given mousetraps and the go-ahead to build. The challenge: create cars that could travel at least 15 feet on flat carpet and use the angle of the trap spring to stop at a specified distance between 5 and 10 feet. The randomly selected stopping distance was 7 feet. Students enjoyed testing their cars, with varying results, and will now document their work in technical memos.

Counseling and Academic Advising Services

The NTID Counseling and Academic Advising Services team developed a centralized tutoring guide: Fall 2026 NTID Tutoring Information. Please share widely with your students. Special thanks to Kelsey Wall for putting this together.

Cross-registered Student Advisory Board

The Cross-registered Student Advisory Board hosted a luncheon on October 14 in the SHED Atrium for cross-registered students and the faculty who support them. More than 80 people attended, creating an opportunity for students and faculty to meet, mingle, and build connections within the cross-registered community.
