9th grade to Fort Worth Museum

Energy Blast at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History was the prime focus of the field trip taken by freshmen engineering students in late October. The exhibit featured interactive stations for the students to explore, including a 50,000-pound seismic vibroseis truck, a 30 foot model of a drilling apparatus and a model city where students used renewable and non-renewable resources to “power” the city. The students also embarked on a Journey to the Center of the Barnett Shale, by viewing and experiencing the 4-D film. The video explained how natural gas formed within the shale deposits of North Texas. The outing concluded with the Coral Reef Adventure at the Omni.
