Welcome back! Two things of note happening this week:
Mousetrap Car Competition RulesObjective: to create a vehicle powered solely by a mousetrap which can travel the furthest distance
Last day before the break! Additionally, this is the last day for me to put in grades for the 1st 6-weeks. If there is ANYTHING you want to have changed, get it taken care before class ends today. Here are my goals for today: First to finish previous SolidWorks lessons, get a head start on the upcoming project after the break (info below), and then to complete one more SolidWorks lesson as a group over creating drawings. Here is your priority sequence:
Mousetrap Powered Car Competition - see updated rules on post above (dates changed)At this point all grades are in the gradebook for the 1st 6 weeks. If there is ANYTHING which you wish to have changed, get this completed, turned in, and fill out the remediation form (on resources page) before tomorrow
Just as on Monday/Tuesday, we will be splitting into two groups. One group will continue in SolidWorks and the other will begin tool training! PSA: grades are due this Friday. The last grade entered into the gradebook will be the SolidWorks lessons part 2 (info below) and tool-training challenges, which will be posted by the end of day on Thursday. All other grades are posted. If there is any grade you would like to have made up or replaced, fill out the remediation form (linked on the resources page) and complete/turn-in the relevant assignment. SolidWorks Lessons The next SolidWorks tutorials (three more) are built in to the SolidWorks software. To find them:
Checkoff #2: Show me lesson two completed (receives a 100%) Tool TrainingThis is an exciting time in the this class. Today will be our first formal day of tool training. We will start by looking over THESE NOTES to become familiar with what is in this room, and then demonstrate proficiency in the three challenges:
Challenge #1: Cutting a piece of wood with precision with miter saw or miter box
Challenge #2: binding two pieces of wood together
Challenge #3: Create your very own wood block using the skills you have learned or the hand tools! Today (Monday, 2/9) we are starting CAD week! As we are limited in the number of computers we have, about 1/2 of you will be working on the learning SolidWorks, and the rest will be working on a paper assignment on identifying isometric and orthographic drawings. Don't worry, you will get to swap another day.
notes from start of class: notes_cadweekintro.pdf SolidWorks Lesson 2 (We're skipping lesson 1 because we're that advanced)
Orthographic Views The goal of this is to become familiar with the difference between two different types of 3D drawings: isometric (kindof like the traditional 3D drawings you are used to) and orthographic (where a 3D object is represented in a front, side, and top 2D projection)
Looking Ahead
Continuing off of yesterday when we introduced the six types of simple machines, today we will be seeking to understand the math behind Simple Machines and their mechanical advantages (ideal and actual) as well as their efficiency.
I have no notes to post over the worksheet, but I will go over some examples as a class and the attached worksheet to complete has example problems completed as well. To Do: Complete and turn in the following worksheet (I have print-outs or you can complete it on another sheet of paper): simple_machines_assignment.pdf After wrapping up the summative Civil Engineering assignment, we are going to jump into our learning of the next major Engineering field, Mechanical Engineering! In this unit, we are going to be covering simple machines, material sciences, tools & more safety, CAD software, and building mousetrap cars.
Agenda today: Civil Engineering Summative Assignment
For this unit's summative assignment (weighted at 50 points in the gradebook, as opposed to the 100 for the bridge building documentation), I will be banning taking a test as an option! If you still wish to take a test, HERE is one you can look at, reference and enjoy. Instead, you will have the two options listed below. Expect to finish by the end of day Wednesday but if more time is needed I can extend this.
-Turn in- Regardless, turn in your assignment at the link below as a PDF or turn in a paper copy of your notes/project https://forms.gle/dQxyte6avvJXTckY8 See the post below for details on the bridge documentation (rubric and template). It must be submitted as a PDF document at this link: https://forms.gle/AVrTwyLwUDgQ9Pvv5
If you can submit it today that is great, but if not tomorrow in class is fine as well |
