IED Character Theme Assignment

Designing using a theme

Project: Pencil Box Project

Design Statement: You are to Design and finish the outside of your pencil boxes using a given theme and the principles of design.

Theme: Character

Introduction:

We all know this quote:

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”(Martin Luther King, Jr.)

What does the word character mean? What does knowing this word have to do with Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)?

Lesson:

You are to define the word character by listing all of the traits that a person should possess in order to have character. You will have to do some research but if you are successful you will find at least 8 traits (we are calling them elements).

What you should do: Open a Microsoft word document and write the elements/traits that you think make up the word character. For each trait:

1.      Define it

2.      Give an example of how this trait/element is shown by someone who possesses it

3.      There should be 5 to 8 traits/elements

4.      Raise your hand when done so that you can review your work with the teacher

Save this document in your Z drive as your name character research (example Tom character research)

Lessons for Monday October 28, 2013

Good morning:

Please find your class below and read your instructions for today's work:

 

Period 1 and 3:

Civil Engineering and Architecture:

Continue to work on your Architecture model projects. Here are some suggestions on what you can do:

 

1.    Sketch out what each wall of your model will look like and give it dimensions.

2.    Make a schedule of work.

a.    How long will it take to cut out your walls from cardboard or foam core?

b.    How long will it take to glue your pieces together?

3.    Create more sketches of your design. Think about the different sides of your project. What will it look like from the back or from the left or right side?

4.    Please be ready on Tuesday to show me what you accomplished

5.    Good Luck!!

Period 2:

Principles of Engineering:

Please go to Khan Academy and view the following video’s on Mechanical advantage:

Mechanical advantage Part 1

Mechanical advantage Part2

Mechanical advantage Part 3

Here is the link:

http://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/work-and-energy/mechanical-advantage/v/introduction-to-mechanical-advantage

 

Please go over the work that we did on Friday. Tomorrow there will be a Test on calculating the MA of Gears, Levers, and Pulley’s. Here are some suggestions on what you can do:

1.    Search Mechanical advantage lessons on the web. See if you can find another site besides Khan that can teach you about mechanical advantage. Write down the site and I will give you extra credit on the test if you list this site on the exam tomorrow

2.    Type in “Mechanical advantage of gears” problems in a search engine. Are there examples that you can practice for? Try the MA of Pulleys and the MA of levers. What did you find

Good Luck!!!
