For our project for this very short Aerospace Engineering unit, we will be competing in a bottle rocket competition! We will start the design and planning today, and I intend for us to be launching our rockets on Tuesday. The grade components to keep an eye on are: 1. the design, 2. materials list, 3. the actual rocket, and then 4. documentation of course. Below is the outline for this competition. Bottle Rocket Design CompetitionObjective: Design a rocket powered from a bike pump that can travel the furthest distance. Constraints:

From our interest survey at the beginning of the semester, I discovered that the majority of you are interested in Aerospace Engineering (for some reason). As such, we are introducing a mini-unit covering the basics of Aerospace Engineering, some of the fundamental principles and we will have a short project over making bottle rockets.

Today we bid farewell to the Arduinos and the Electrical Engineering unit as a whole. Tomorrow (well Monday) we say hello to the Aerospace Engineering.
To Do:
We are officially in to the last 6 weeks of the semester and 2 1/2 weeks until Thanksgiving Break! There are a few loose ends in the Electrical Engineering Unit which I'm hoping we can get taken care of today and tomorrow, to start a very brief unit over Aerospace Engineering (by popular demand) and then we are in to the final project unit. So, without further ado here is what we have to do today.
11/6 Agenda
Plan on finishing your Arduino Projects by the end of day on Monday. Here is the rubric: compe_projectrubric.pdf
