PR. 4 Engineering Class

 

       PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING I 

Good Afternoon.  Today 10-6-21 you will continue working on the crane problem.  You should have all completed the below for the crane problem to date:

1) Problem statement

2) Research ideas saved to google doc with problem statement

3) Sketch ideas created, discussed among team members

4) Best solution selected

5) Collect materials and begin redesign build

NOTES for class:

All materials needed will be on the front table next to my desk.  I think most groups have supplies to begin the project.  Remember the supplies follow the guidelines as attempt #1.

If you complete the crane and are ready to test, go to the cantilever page on the blog and complete "Crane strain #2"  

         

           BEFROE WEIGHT TEST IS PERFORMED 

YOU MUST WEIGH YOUR CRAINE

MAKE THE PREDICTION BEFORE YOU TEST IT

COLOR RED WHERE YOU EXPECT FAILURE

TAKE A PICTURE BEFORE YOU TEST

TAKE A VIDEO OR SEVERAL PICTURES AS YOU TEST

ASSIGNMENT  Create a document and submit it to the google assignment and answer the questions below. 

1)Explain the areas most interest you and what specifically about this area peaks your interest.   Beyond saying it's "cool"  what makes it cool, interesting, exciting, well paying etc. 

 

2)If you were working in the field of your choice, and you could choose what project you would be working on what would it be? why that?

YOU DONT NEED TO DO THIS SECTION 
I would also like you to create 3 questions that can be used for the questions and answer sessions with the Engineers at Husky.  They do not have to be specific to their operations and practices, however they may be if you wish.  Any questions you have thought about in your research around engineering, college, the transition, we can discuss this more in class
