ASSIGNMENT 

As we discuss the realizations, Engineers and Scientists may have not considered the impacts and  Downstream affects of critical decisions, consider the actions which have led to the extreme pollution across the world, answer the following questions.  

You can find these questions as a link in the classroom.  Complete and submit assignment.

In your observations of the videos identify obstacles which would hold back or hinder the collection process of the ocean clean up and the interceptors 

Take a stance on whether these types of collection devices are serving the symptom or the cause in the fight against pollution and environmental inequality for some across the world?

           HOW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT HAS UNINTENDED DOWN STREAM AFFECTS

 ASSIGNMENT  # 2 

1)  USING THE DESIGN THINKING APPROACH YOU WILL ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION BELOW.  ANSWER THEM ON THE DOCUMENT POSTED IN CLASSROOM, THEN SUBMIT THEM TO THAT ASSIGNMENT. 

DESIGN THINKING 

Take some time to think....now think some more. Your task is to come up with an example of a specific global problem/situation/social ill this type of design thinking would allow you to create a solvable solution to.

It is very important to not let the lack of technology control you thought process or solution to the problem.   

1)  Identify the problem you are intending to solve.  Create an approach/solution/s which current technology does not currently support but most certainly could in the future.

2)  Next take a moment to consider the down stream affects you're solution could potentially have on society and the affects generations yet to come.

3)  Lastly identify areas you think you could consider improvements.  Identify the improvement's as well as the resources needed to produce this technological product/s.

 "Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible"                                                            ~ Albert Einstein

Now that I have your attention!
Imagine you are laying there on a summer day with your little cousin watching the clouds float by across the summer sun and they said to you, lets build a ladder to the sun.....

WOULD YOU DO IT!

NOW THAT YOUR MIND IS IN THE CORRECT SPACE, PRETEND YOU ARE 6 YEARS OLD...CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BRING YOURSELF BACK TO THAT TIME...FEEL THE CREATIVITY FLOW.. 

ASSIGNMENT #1 

YOUR CREATIVITY TASK:

INVENT  SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST...

EXAMPLES:

THE LADDER TO THE SUN, SPRAY ON SOCKS, A WINDOW THAT TRANSPORTS YOU ANYWRE IN THE WORLD.

THE KEY TO THIS IS YOU HAVE TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST.  THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF YOUR PRODUCT.  

DELIVERABLES

1) Sketch your product clearly, sketch it large, label each part

2) Write a crazy good description, you want to sell this product 

ASSIGNMENT #2

Assignment:#1
1) Log into you H drive and create an Engineering folder, this is where your CAD files will be stored. 
2) Log into your Google drive, this is where your research and online docs will be housed. 
3) Answer the following questions on a GD in your folder.  You will submit this to a google classroom assignment Engineering Design Questions

Define what Design and Technology means to you?

Discuss social & environmental implications Engineers must consider as they create new products or innovate existing ones?

What influences/drives engineering concepts and innovations of product?

What are some of the Core Elements of Engineering design?






Assignment: #2
Once you have completed the questions above, please follow the links below and complete the online assessment and the specific course pre-assessment.  Remember this is not a scored assessment.  Rather it is used as a starting place in which to determine your learning and connections you make throughout the semester.

                                        COMMUNICATION  

Developing new products, inventions and innovations are always communicated through engineered drawings, which are used as a way to communicate information to Designers and Engineers.
Interpreting The importance of Engineering Drawings, the information they communicate about the design/information is critically important.  

Uniform standards 

By using uniform standards, processes and tools it creates a level playing field for like or common information across all sectors of the world.   The current conventions you will use to communicate drawing information is called ANSI, American National Standard.  By using specific conventions, Engineers and Designers have a uniform way to communicate all information needed to create a part, size, material, tolerances and more.  This is important these areas are standardized so no further information needs to be communicated to the fabricator, for production.  This decreases the need for lead time and any confusion about final production.
