Calculation-based Engineering Design Applied to a Spring-Powered Mechanism
This lesson is designed for the Gunn HS engineering/robotics class or similar (e.g. a Project Lead the Way capstone course). The lesson demonstrates the use of mathematical simulation in design decisions, specifically designing a launch mechanism based on mechanical springs.
Comparing Design Concept
This lesson is designed to drop into the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) course on product design called Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) but it is suitable for any CAD class or engineering design curriculum.
Let's Go Rafting
In this ETP, students will be placed into five different groups. In each group, students will be given engineer roles and they will need to collaborate in order to meet the needs of their customer base. Each group will receive a base model of a Raft.
Manufacturing Work Instructions for a Symbol Project
The goal of this ETP is to expose students to the industry procedures and standards of Manufacturing Work Instructions (MWI) while creating and constructing a wooden Symbol Project.
Navigating Life In A Connected World - The Internet of (every day) Things
This lesson introduces students to the burgeoning Internet of Things. Students will develop schema by first reviewing the history of the internet from conception to current day and by playing a game called the IoE Cauldron.

Using Micropipettes
Students will learn how to use micropipettes in preparation for conducting gel electrophoresis and other molecular biology procedures. This importance of this skill was emphasized within the context of my work at JBEI, during which accurate measurement was critical in producing meaningful data.
Functions Working Together
This lesson supports students’ understanding of functions, algebraic manipulation with variables and constants, and collaboration through computer programming.
