Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum

 
 

The Copper-Hewitt National Design Museum is located on 2 east 91st street New York, New York. The museum has more than 200,000 objects that you can view, ranging from objects created over 100 years ago, to objects created this year. It focuses on contemporary and historic design. It is located in New York which is a very popular place for engineering.

This trip would be academically relevant because it is a design museum, and designing is a huge part of engineering. Also, we could go to the Andrew Carnegie mansion on 5th street, which has a similiar to the museum because it has a lot of special pieces and inventions. It is a reasonable place to go because it is very relevant to our cirriculum, and it would be a great place to go and learn about how valuable designing is in engineering.

  1. I'm in. I agree that designing is a huge part of engineering. This field trip will help us learn to design aesthetically and still fit the function of the object.
