Students will create a water bottle rocket while working collaboratively in groups. The groups will be asked to collect and analyze data and then improve upon their design. After a further launch they will then present their findings and data in a classroom presentation.
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.
The goal of this ETP is to help students develop data collection and analysis skills which is crucial in any STEM related field.
In this series of lessons, students will engineer patterns of solar panels using low, medium, and high efficiency solar cells.
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.
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.
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.
This lesson 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 semester.
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.
