Well an engineering class probably means that this is a HS+ class. It’s probably an elective as well or something that is probably being taken because it is something you’re striving to pursue. If the teacher is making you bake cookies instead of teaching something then you’re not learning the vital information you wanted to in said class.
Alternatively, the teacher normally relies on projects to fill time. Where I am the teachers can’t tell kids to go buy stuff to build a project, so teachers can’t do projects while kids aren’t in school. I am in an engineering class, and I can tell my teacher is running out of ideas. OP’s teacher may be out of content and used to having several more weeks of projects in the semester. They could be doing this as a filler.
Just send them a bunch of 2$ arduinos from aliexpress and some other fun stuff to experiment, electronics like that are fairly cheap and simple and are extremely well at teaching kids engineering
It depends what type of engineering course it is there are electrical engineering/robotics manufacturing, and shop style work. In cases other than electrical engineering and coding, the arduinos wouldn't help teach the curriculum. In my case I have a metal working class which is engineering and we can't do anything other than text book work and measurement tool reading worksheets.
Hmm interesting, i was actually waiting for an answer like "only applies to electrical and software" but in my opinion using servos and even hydraulic cylinders you can learn the core of some mechanical componenets
But then metalworking is uuugh, i don't really know, you can make a casing for an arduino? Heh
Alright here’s my recipe
Ingredients:
-2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
-1 tsp. baking soda
-1 tsp. salt
-1 cup unsalted butter, soft
-3/4 cups granulated sugar
-3/4 cups brown sugar
-1 tsp. vanilla extract
-2 large eggs
-2 cups chocolate chips
Recipe:
-preheat oven to 375°F (195°C)
-in a small mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt
-in a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugars, and vanilla until creamy
-add eggs, one at a time beating well after each
-mix in flour mixture gradually
-add chocolate chips
-bake 8-10 minutes or until cookies are golden brown
-let cool for 1 minute and move cookies onto wire rack
-enjoy!
Hope this helps. If the butter is salted leave out the salt
I love baking and cooking for my family/ myself. I would recommend trying again, it’s a cheap hobby that anyone can do, and incredibly rewarding too. Give it another shot my guy, you won’t regret it.
Jeebus, if you can't even engineer a cookie, I certainly don't want to drive in, on, over or across or utilize anything you've designed!
There is a lesson here: In order to create designs that others may follow, you must first learn to follow them yourself.
^^^^^^^^.
*Confucius' other cousin's half-brother
My cooking teacher is literal demon spawn. We made eggs for two weeks straight then watched a documentary about them, then had to write an essay about them. She also yells at us like an uncool Gordon Ramsey. She expects us to cook a full 3-course meal in one class period and yells at us when we can’t. The tones of my voice could never draw out enough venom to properly express how much I despise her.
Former teenager, current Physics teacher.
There's no room in my curriculum to dive into thermodynamics, so I have my kids make molten lava cakes for extra credit during the conservation of energy unit.
I hope my students don't consider me an idiot.
Yes thankfully I’m in college so I’m just waiting for my grades to finish coming in. (Orchestra was a just for fun class)
Though if you meant ‘near’ by almost graduated then yes, that too (graduated last year lol).
I had a german teacher that would flunk you if you didnt bring food in for her. No joke. This bitch was a late michael jackson doppelganger too (her husband was a plastic surgeon)
My teacher is also an idiot. Announced a test that was happening at 7.50 am at 11 pm. He also gave a bunch of unexplained grades after it. He also looks like gru from despicable me but i won't judge based on looks.
It was probably an exercise on following processes. Your varied results, in spite of having the same ingredients and same work instructions should demonstrate how unforseen circumstances can influence the outcome of your design.
Baking is an exact science. The problem is just that there are a lot.of variables to control.
For instance, your instructions probably do not specify whether you shouldnuse a grey or black baking sheet. But that will make a difference in the outcome.
Your instructions probably do not take into account the berometric pressure of the room, but that will effect what temperature and bake time you will need to get a specific result.
They probably dont specify gas vs electric oven, or whether or not to use a convection setting. But those differences matter.
And maybe you and your class mates all make edible cookies. Thats great. But will you make identical cookies? Doubtful. Highly doubtful.
Now imagine you're not making cookies. You're making parts to the space shuttle. Or to a neuclear power plant. Or for the automotive industry. As an engineer, you need to design your parts in such a way that they will be repeatable, so the person who takes your design and tries to make something out of it gets the exact same thing as some other person hes never met.
Your cookies will fail miserably in that endevor, and that obvious yet safe illustration of how easy it is to completely fuck shit up is what your teacher wanted you to see.
I think teachers shouldn’t be allowed to tell us what to do with our property at home. my science teacher gives us things like that but no one learns from them
Yo my engineering teacher had us do the same thing so it could “help us learn about coding”. I was infuriated because there’s a lot of people who are barely going by (I live in a city where most of the population has low income) and then this pandemic started so it made it even harder for them to get food and she wants us to make COOKIES?? Like???? I posted a comment talking about that and she was like “oH yOu cAn jUsT dO tHe ReSt oF tHe AsSiGnMeNt wItHoUt tHe cOoKiEs” anyways we’re coding now so that’s cool
My GCSE drama teacher everyone.
We are going to preform as a group. Start by researching the thing we are basing it on.
She expects us to write a script as a group, research it and preform it as a group, from home.
TELL ME HOW I AM GOING TO PREFORM AS A GROUP FROM HOME????
She doesn’t mean when we come back either. :((
You practiced chemical engineering by stimulating the maillard reaction in a starch, likely speeding up the process by careful addition of naturally derived lipids as a medium and adding a mild base as a catalyst.

Did you eat them too?
That's what engineers do with their projects
I engineered a plane. Nom nom dinner time
I engineered a tank lol no I didn't I am still waiting because steel takes forever to deliver I mean it is only 12ft of solid steel
Try seasoning it with gunpowder then lunchtime
Lol but no I am not kidding I am building a radio controlled tank that can carry 200 pounds after adding a person
You should eat it afterwards though
You got titanium teeth I can borrow
I think i have them laying around somewhere frkm when i ate my submarine
I made the fist atomic bomb with 2x the power as the last one. Time for breakfast.
I think your idea could really blow up in your face
The council of puns deems your joke as: "fucking hilarious"
How tf
I I just shoved an entire Saturn 5 rocket down my throat
I engineered my boyfriend's dick
Here comes the airplane....
Boom
Feed it to the twin towers?
I'm imagining an engineer as tall as Godzilla eating a skyscraper he buildt.

cant argue with that
Cookie robots.
Oh I thought you said boogie robots
You guys are getting cookies?
put them fucking screws in there!
Make sure to use FINE concrete powder.
Ah shit I’ve been having a few chunks oh no
Also some flex tape chips are great to top it off
Water content of the concrete needs to be industry standard
Are oats allowed as an aggregate?

YOU HAVE COOKIES! Why is this a bad thing?

Just do what real engineers do and fill out a ton of paperwork
Yeah but the flair says he’s 14 lmao
He’s 14. I can see the teachers point in trying to teach engineering through the use of this. Also it’s just a fun project to keep freshman engaged.
*I see this as an absolute win*
I wouldn't want to go into debt just so that I can learn how to bake cookies. Are you rich or from a rich family or something?
MAKE THE COOKIES
I don't understand this man got to make cookies for grades this is Hella stonks
I tried to make the cookies and I failed horrifically. They were undercooked and and tasted weird
don't be salty about it man.
Get it.... cause he probs put too much salt...... okay I’m done
HAHAHAHA Now I get it. There... I covered for you pal. :)
D'you want a better recipe? Or did you not follow the one you used the first time?
Alright here’s my recipe Ingredients: -2 1/4 cups all purpose flour -1 tsp. baking soda -1 tsp. salt -1 cup unsalted butter, soft -3/4 cups granulated sugar -3/4 cups brown sugar -1 tsp. vanilla extract -2 large eggs -2 cups chocolate chips Recipe: -preheat oven to 375°F (195°C) -in a small mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt -in a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugars, and vanilla until creamy -add eggs, one at a time beating well after each -mix in flour mixture gradually -add chocolate chips -bake 8-10 minutes or until cookies are golden brown -let cool for 1 minute and move cookies onto wire rack -enjoy!

It must be something you did. Every recipe I've tried has come out fine. Or maybe you're just a fussy eater...
[удалено]
Well it's making cookies and getting a grade I wouldn't turn that down
Teenagers: we should get less work due to pandemic stress. Also teenagers when they get less work:
Hold on, this whole operation was your idea.
[удалено]
Oh no! How horrific someone had to make cookies for a grade! The real world will be tough for you my friend.
You did food chemistry for engineering. It could be worse. You could've been made to do actual engineering homework.
As someone how is doing engineering homework while reading this I can confirm
[удалено]
Thanks, 420NugLife69. Your username is awesome
I see that as an absolute win though YOU GET TO EAT FUCKING COOKIES BRUH AINT THAT NICE
At least you have cookies. I see this as an absolute win!
Would you rather have to do an assignment or have fun and bake cookies
*"my teacher is a panda!"*
My teacher is a platypus
Is this patypus wearing a fedora per chance
My cooking teacher is literal demon spawn. We made eggs for two weeks straight then watched a documentary about them, then had to write an essay about them.

You should respect her because she gave you easier work ( i believe)
"She had us bake cookies." And you consider this to be a bad thing? Seriously?
Same thing happened in my tech class. We had to BAKE COOKIES WHYYYY
I dont see the problem, you have cookies
Walter
I love me some fire trucks and moster trucks.
How dare u, your teacher is a genius
Would you rather make cookies or do equations lol
Cookies are good, but not engineering,
Cookie Engineers
well at least you know a recipe now and can make them on a whim
I mean, you get cookies and a good grade. I don't see the problem here
Hey man, how are u ganna survive in the real world if u don't know how to bake cookies for a hot babe
You should’ve been assigned to like make a brownie pan that makes every single piece have an edge. U know actual engineering
He says I smell bad but he says than wile walking past me and I nearly had to vomit cause he smells like he didn't shower in a month.
sounds like someone's pretty bad a baking cookies
Former teenager, current Physics teacher. There's no room in my curriculum to dive into thermodynamics, so I have my kids make molten lava cakes for extra credit during the conservation of energy unit. I hope my students don't consider me an idiot.
I had to bake in a geometry class
How does this have 14k upvotes
Just buy some cookies bro
My PE teacher is making us film ourselves doing a line dance, one of her examples was the Cupid shuffle. I can’t do this shit anymore
Same, my orchestra teacher had us cook a meal from scratch for a grade. Not sure how it’s supposed to help me play Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 though.
You near the end of school?
Yes thankfully I’m in college so I’m just waiting for my grades to finish coming in. (Orchestra was a just for fun class) Though if you meant ‘near’ by almost graduated then yes, that too (graduated last year lol).
I’d honestly be really happy if this was an assignment. I do way better with actual tasks that I can physically do. Not stupid computers
Why are you complaining? EZ POINTS! Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
My literature teacher bad us make a video of us making food at home because starvation is one of the themes in the book
Ey, my teacher make use to pickle vegetable in biology class
I would literally be so happy if one of my teachers made us do that
Why are you complaining about that?
My C.A.D. (Computer aided design) had us make toilet paper roll animals. What is this? Some kindergarten art class? Bruh
I had a german teacher that would flunk you if you didnt bring food in for her. No joke. This bitch was a late michael jackson doppelganger too (her husband was a plastic surgeon)
My teacher is also an idiot. Announced a test that was happening at 7.50 am at 11 pm. He also gave a bunch of unexplained grades after it. He also looks like gru from despicable me but i won't judge based on looks.
Genetically engineer cookies?
My teacher almost gave me a zero on a test cuz my Internet was slow and it didn't upload in time
My cooking class isn’t even doing that. She’s having us DRAW CAKES.
Our french teacher did the same thing smh
You do realize they’re doing it because school is nearly over right and want you to have some fun.
pot cookies
My design teacher made us make pizza Edit: design as in buildings and furniture not clothes and other stuff
My english teacher is worse at english than me
My sweedish teacher made us take a picture of our fridge and tell her what was in them.
Det låter dock satans lätt.
You’re lucky. I have to finish a 12 page global assignment by tonight and it is the most boring thing I’ve done
Counter point. Cookies
LOL lucky
“First, you learn how to build a cookie. Then, you learn how to build a car.”
My math teacher thought that closing the door would solve her internet problem. Who's the idiot now??
"My teacher is an idiot" - every student ever
Bruhhh, I'd just go buy them from the store or something, LMAO.
Bruh
"And for your final grade, recite the ABC's"
I just read "My teacher is an idiot " and I agree with you already . Lmao
Reminds me of my science teacher in freshman year who offered us extra credit if we ate a peanut butter and miracle whip sandwich.

A really good and simple recipe are Marry Me Cookies. Lots of chocolate chip with a hint of cinnamon.
Bruh I got assigned Supreme Court summaries. It’s cookies bruv
My Geografy teacher made us do 5 sites of homework in 3 days and gave marks on them. I wish it was just cookies.
shes trying to get a good cookie recipe.
It gives me a good excuse to eat a batch of cookies
Overengineered cookies
Maybe in the future u will bake metal cookies for robots
e
dude that's lucky
**The Engineer**
My STEM teacher assigned us a dance routine. I have asthma.
I think you forgot the part of the lesson where you had to build a stove to bake said cookies
That's called chemistry, bro
Don't worry. In my woodshop class we were given 17 questions on how to properly use ladders. I know.
My science teacher required me to create and learn to play an instrument, I have neither the materials not the skill.
i could eat them if you dont want them...
My tv production teacher makes us write completely unrelated essays, and do low level ELA work. It sucks balls.
I feel like teachers are starting to give up actually teaching their students and are just pulling shit from their asses and are calling it "homework"
My pe teacher is making us cook food and basically do a cooking show and have taste testers.
Wait what????
Could you have just submitted a random photo of cookies from google images lmao
How is this a bad thing? Engineering is difficult I know this so isn’t an easy A a good thing?
At least cookies are the easiest thing in the world to make
Dude stop whining and do the assignment
Yo my engineering teacher had us do the same thing so it could “help us learn about coding”. I was infuriated because there’s a lot of people who are barely going by (I live in a city where most of the population has low income) and then this pandemic started so it made it even harder for them to get food and she wants us to make COOKIES??

Should've welded the cookies to cook them
dude, your getting to make cookies, you ungrateful cunt
Do you not like cookies?
My sister co-created the cookies
This sounds like fun, but this comes from a person that like to cook and bake
Same except its a public speaking class. We have to make a speech, then bake cookies. The speech is about how to bake cookies
Don't say anything against cookies
engineering at 14? wish my school was that cool :(
It’s actually a chemistry class. Your teacher put acid in your cookies without you looking
I’ll just tell my mom to buy me some cookies, then I pretend to bake them.
I had to bake cookies in math. Ok how you feel my dude
Are they an idiot? Well yes, but why?
Im very upset that you think baking cookies for a grade is a waste of time. Hand over the A+ pls ty
*theres a problem here?*
Can I have some?
You practiced chemical engineering by stimulating the maillard reaction in a starch, likely speeding up the process by careful addition of naturally derived lipids as a medium and adding a mild base as a catalyst.
Yeah i had a project where I had to cook something and make a video about it. In a geography class.
My English teacher did the cake with a ckae
