Hydraulic Systems 

Pre-Assessment

Proficiency to be studied

Abilities for a Technological World

Students will develop the ability to intentionally apply the design process,
implementation of tools and machines to model, test, troubleshoot, observe, investigate,
and analyze the relationship between solutions and assess impacts on all
technological products and systems.

Standard 12.  Students will develop the abilities to use and maintain technological products and systems.

These will be added to and updated.

Assignments ~ Please follow the links to complete each assignment below.  Please do them in order as they appear.  Please make certain you read the description of each activity and the directions in their entirety as you work through the experiments.  

#1) Pneumatic Vs. Hydraulic Activity Sheet~ This experiment helps you form a basic understanding of the difference between pneumatic  and hydraulics.  Please follow the directions of the sheet to perform both activities.  Please read the questions before you do each activity, so you have an understanding of what you should be observing during the activity.



#2 How Do Hydraulic Systems Work? 

This document gives you an overview of how how systems work together as they are integrated with either hydraulics or pneumatics' 

#3 Wisc Online Tutorials ~ Go through the tutorials below learning how Hydraulic cylinders provide forces where needed and how they act when certain forces are applied back as a load 

     A) Hydraulic System 

     B) Hydraulic Pump Example  

    C) Pneumatics Vs. Hydraulics 

#4)  States of Matter
I will present this topic to the class.  You will need the information contained with in this presentation to answer the questions for the document in #4 & #5 

#5)  Hydraulics~Energy & Power

#6)  Fluid Power Systems Questions 

Pascals Law 

Watch the video below to develop an understanding of how Pascals Law works with-in a system

#7) Assignment: Complete tutorials below submit your final score to the assignment in the classroom

Understanding Pascals Law 

Before we get the the robot design elements.  Lets research concepts behind the mechanisms that will be used to make the robot operate. More explanation in class

History of Technology

                 THE HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY 

The History of Technology has been evolving ever since humans have walked the earth. Let's explore some of the key areas that have changed human life for the better. 

Technology of the future

In the world of AI

PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING II INTRODUCTION

                                   

 PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING 

                        DESIGN THINKING HAPPENS HERE 

     ~THINK~ DESIGN ~ CREATE ~ 

Here we will work to Design, Create, Innovate & Invent new exciting designs and products through many different mediums, including additive and subtractive manufacturing, explore careers, explore robot construction, run CNC, Use Rapid Prototyping and lasers to fabricate parts  But first lets review the class and complete the pre-assessment.


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.
Pre Assessment. 




Assignment: #3

Work Power & Gears

 SIMPLE COMPOUND MACHINES Pre-Assessment

 Follow this link and begin to create an understanding on gears.  Each subsequent heading relates directly to this entire project.  Each heading is linkable with the bullets below representing the main topics discussed.

GEARS GEARS & MORE GEARS PP    

Check out how gears work together

                

Simple Machines ---A Review 

• A review of the simple machines

Please follow the links below and explore gearing, compound machines, gear ratio and work/power concepts.  Each link will bring you through a short activity guiding you towards mastering each concept.

Work VS. Power we will complete this as a class

• Work Vs. Power what does this mean? 
•   How to calculate (W)ork
• How to calculate (P)ower
•  Calculating power in rotational mechanisms 
• Complete the Work power, Horse power experiment 

Gears a Historical Perspective Information on the history and components of a gear.

 Gear Nomenclature

 What is Torque

•    What is torque?      
• How to calculate torque?
• Calculating for Horsepower RPM and torque.

1)Gear Ratio Concepts

2)Gear Ratio Concepts #2 Dynamic science

• Focus on the relationship of Input and out put gears.
• Relationships of distances traveled for input and output gears.
• Ratio vs. Circumference
• Number of rotations. 

Biomimicry

How Mother Nature Has Influenced

Engineering

ways engineers have been inspired by design..

The Innovators Using Nature's Design Principles to Create Green Tech

Examples of Biomimicry design 

                                            Using Mother Natures Genius in Architecture 

 

Biomemetric materials 

    

Key Questions to consider before you begin your design.

1. Do shapes influence design?

2. Do Animals/environment  influence engineering /design?  

3. Does animals adaptation influence design concepts?

4. Think about what type of things could improve peoples lives

Application steps.

1) Think about answers to the questions above on your own

2) Find animal influences or something specific in mother nature

that influences you to INVENT or INNOVATE the design of a product

          

     FTWE (feathers, teeth, wings, eyes) 

Design your product...Concept must come directly from the above...Color changing chameleon.  Octopus rope...Does not have to work but has to have the conception of how something specific can be applied for a new product.

Used clay, straws, glue guns...very simple stuff 3 class periods to design/build/present 

Standards to be addressed

PBGR 1: The Nature of Technology

Students will identify and demonstrate the interrelationships between technologies and other fields, working to become technologically literate and adaptable in all situations.

PBGR 2:Technology and Society

Students will develop an understanding of the role technology played in

society throughout history as well as the influence/effect technology currently

plays culturally, socially and environmentally and how technologies can continually

evolve to benefit society.
