The lesson will task students with performing three-point-flexural tests on pencils of different shapes in order to experimentally calculate the ultimate flexural strength of each pencil.
The goal of this ETP is to introduce and practice the engineering design process in a fun and high interest manner: by designing a balloon “rocket” that uses a straw and various types of string to travel a distance in the fastest possible time.
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 Engineering 115 we will study how to create title blocks with attributes. We will learn how to create a Layout or paper space. We will also learn how to place within the layout a view port to include in the model. We will adjust the scaling factor to reflect the actual scale of the model.
Students will design a method to promote heat loss from an aluminum can full of hot water and test modifications to their design. Modelled on removing excess heat from electronic components, the lab tests different methods of removing heat and meets the NGSS engineering standards.
The goal of the Education Transfer Plan (ETP) is to safely engage students in hands-on practical engineering experiences while building parts. Targeting 11-12th grade students in the International Baccalaureate Design Technology unit on manufacturing processes.
The new NGSS focusses on student discovery and adding engineering strategies to the science curriculum.
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.
