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

Aboriginal Access to Engineering

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?

4)Take a moment to consider the down stream affects of how your solution could affect generations to come, explain why there would be minimal affects or potential ones. 


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

Did you Know.....? Wouldn't it be cool if?

            

Did You Know....?  You are not competing against whom you think you....







  I ask you to "do this", you say "why?"
                                        I say "why not.."
                                                 You say "but how" do I 
                                                                  I say that's a " good question, now get started!"
                                                                        
                                                                      
                                               Wouldn't it be cool if you had a pet Elephant.                   


Let's look at the potential of harnessing the creativity, knowledge we developed for different applications....

Assignment
Now that you have watched these videos post a comment below in the comment section.   

Research inventions over the last 100 years that have changed human life in a positive way, you have 10 minutes to research and 5 minutes to do a share out across the class .

1) Now that you have some background on types of inventions that have changed the world, enter the comment around what YOU would invent, innovate or change to make a measurable difference in someones life.    

Please start your comment like this:  
"If I could I would.....create a seeds for crops that are accessible to everyone and do not need water to grow. ....."

Additive & Subtractive Manufacturing Technologies

Product Case project
Image result for stratasys printer      Laser information

Follow the link to the project so you can explore the problem of creating a product case.

FOR TODAY YOU SHOULD:

1) Create a document for the project where you should first; identify the problem statement.  Articulate what you see as the problem.  Be concise and avoid including the parameters in the problem statement.

Create some 2-3 basic sketch ideas before you do your "Research"
  
Think about it this way.  If  your just going on to google to 
find something someone else made, what are you learning? 
 from my perspective.  Nothing.  Create you ideas and refine
 your ideas based upon your research. 

2)Think of a design you would like, can be almost anything think, just think about it then do your best to ketch it out.  Once you have your sketches which should include a few views which should include some of the information that a 3 view, top, front and RT side, as well as an isometric would include.
