Introduction to Engineering Design (Section #3, Dr. X. George Xu) Spring 2005, Term Project and Individual Design Project Assignments “Using Engineering to Change Physics Learning Worldwide” Note: Further guidance on the form and shape that the physical representation of the design is to take to demonstrate the design will be provided as the design process proceeds. The focus of the design process is to complete full analysis and to specify all details before any fabrication begins. Guidance will include: • Fastener size and type for connecting components for both the full size design level and the scale model. • Deflection analysis of all load carrying elements. • Motor load testing using bench test methods. • Protoboard test circuitry of critical electronic and electrical systems. • Detailed wire layouts. • Complete fastening detail of all components. • Material size restrictions for both full scale design and scale model. • Demonstration expectations of software components. • The amount of trueness of the scale model to the moving elements of the design. • Standard electrical plugs and connectors. The instructors of this course have noted that the popular press is reporting a dismal state of science and math learning by the American student when measured by tests administered internationally. Press coverage of this testing outcome has appeared alongside coverage of the federal mandate known as “No Child Left Behind” which focuses on frequent standardized testing to measure school performance and extends rights to students and parents to switch out of under performing schools. While the popular press is covering education in America, the educational opportunities in third world countries are a concern of the United Nations, the World Bank, and the governments of those coun
