This lesson is designed for the Gunn HS Principles of Engineering and robotics classes or similar (e.g. a Project Lead the Way capstone course).
In this lesson students develop and execute a promotional plan for a business they will develop in this course. Students will engage in one of two businesses the course will offer: either a screen-printing service or a laser cutting and etching service.
Engineers have historically been required to solve highly complex and technical real life problems. In today’s global village, engineers are required to design for a global set of users.
This project will engage students in Robotics and Engineering by allowing them to choose a complex individual or group project to work on over the course of the year. Students will research ideas and submit a proposal that details the process and estimated number of hours needed to complete.
This lesson will give students the opportunity to use the functionalities of Microsoft Excel to help them in their analysis of a real data set, ranging from sports to health to finance.
The professional development workshop described in this lesson plan focuses on ways in which modeling in the real world differs from traditional textbook "word problems." It exposes teachers to the complexity of modeling as a mathematical, scientific, and engineering practice, and simul
In small groups, students will design a product or idea that incorporates one of the major ideas covered in first semester of Calculus. The students have to use the concepts covered in class in order to explain why their product or idea would improve on the current status quo.
This exercise models the analysis that manufacturers must go through to determine whether a manufactured component meets acceptance criteria.
The focus of the project is on how students can improve each other's work through applying quality assurance protocols with the use of technology. Students will be collaborating to make math tutorial videos with either the Educreations App or the Explain Everything App on iPads.
