ASSIGNMENT:

Download COMPLETE CHIP TEMPLATE file.  Save it in your H Drive
Pay special attention to the diameter chip you select.
Analyze the circle diameter and change if necessary.

Tutorial #4
 Please open tutorial #4 and work on the tutorial.  It goes hand in hand with what we have done in class with MasterCam so far.  When the directions send you to get the "sports image" don't follow them.  You can access the sports image with the below link,  It will bring you to my web page, scroll down to mastercam then sports image. Download the file on your "H"  drive then follow the directions to access the file in the tutorial.

  RENEWABLE VS. NONRENEWABLE ENERGY

RENEWABLE

• Environmental impacts of renewable resources
• Renewable National Geographic

NONRENEWABLE

• Effects

Assignment Directions:

Take a few minutes to explore topics in both areas above, Once you choose an area check with me if it has been chosen, so the class can cover as many areas as possible.  Then open a GD in your Folder, identify a topic in either area of renewable or nonrenewable energy.  

Research the area and report out on the main points.

• Give an overview of the resource.
• How is the product to produce energy collected and where from
• How much energy does this resource provide?
• What is the trend of the resource as compared to when the first data for energy production was available?
• What is the impact on the environment using this resource?  The direction you can take the response to this question can vary.
• What are some interesting facts you uncovered about this resource?

PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING PRE-ASSESSMENT

HOVERCRAFT PROJECT

HOVER CRAFT PROJECT

Focus PBGR's :                                                                                                           

1) Students will develop an understanding of the attributes of design.                      

 Learning Targets:
~The design process includes defining a problem, brainstorming, researching and
generating ideas, identifying criteria and specifying constraints, exploring possibilities,
selecting an approach, developing a design proposal, making a model or prototype,
testing and evaluating the design using specifications, refining the design, creating or
making it, and communicating processes and results.
~The design needs to be continually checked and critiqued, and the ideas of the design
must be redefined and improved.

2) Students will develop an understanding of engineering design.

Learning Targets:
   ~Established design principles are used to evaluate existing designs, to collect data, and to
   guide the design process.
 ~Engineering design is influenced by personal characteristics, such as creativity,
   resourcefulness, and the ability to visualize and think abstractly.
~A prototype is a working model used to test a design concept by making actual
  observations and necessary adjustments.
~The process of engineering design takes into account a number of factors.

Hovercraft Assignment

Directions:  Get into your assigned group for this project and read the Hovercraft Vehicle Design Brief bellow.  You and your partner are to sketch out designs for two complete Racing class hovercraft's and two complete Hauling class hovercraft's.  Use either graph or blank paper for your sketches.  Be sure to add notes that describe the parts and any other information that would be important for others to know about your designs.  You may use the internet for ideas to help get you started but you need to create original designs.

Problem

You and a partner will work together to design and build a hovercraft. Once you complete your prototype your engineering skills will be put to the test in two categories; Sport and Hauling classes. The Sport class test will be a race to see whose hovercraft can travel the given course in the shortest time possible. The Hauling class test will identify whose hovercraft has the greatest load carrying capacity. The vehicle that can carry the most weight the full length of the course will be declared the winner. The length of the track will be 8 feet. All crafts must be designed and built so that they meet the following criteria and constraints.

Design Criteria and Constraints

1. Craft size cannot exceed 7 inches in width and 11 inches in length. 2. The craft must be powered by the provided power source. 3. A maximum of 2 toy motors can be used and they must be the motors that are provided. 4. 3 blade propellers must be used to lift and propel the craft. 5. You must include lift and propulsion shrouds. 6. Vehicle must have an on/off switch wired to the motor to cut the power. 7. Any materials that are not available in class that are needed for your design must be provided byyour group.
