WS1 - Civil Engineering - design competition on support
structures
SUMMARY:
Students become civil engineers and learn how to constructively
function as a team. Students will have the task of creating
a supporting structure sturdy enough to hold a book. Surface
area, time & materials are a few constraints students will
compete to overcome.
OBJECTIVE:
To build a structure at least 6" tall to hold a book.
TERMS TO LEARN:
stress, strain, structure failure, safety, compression,
torque
INTRODUCTION:
Engineers use the concept of design, build, test everyday.
You will become a civil engineer to design a structure at
least 6" tall to hold a book. Think about how a chair is
made, a table, a bridge, etc?. think about shapes like circles,
triangles, squares, cubes, cylinders etc.
WS2 - Internet I - Digital Imaging
SUMMARY:
Lesson1: Digital Imagery Overview
Lesson 2: Image and Video Capture
Lesson 3: Digital Image Editing
WS3 - Internet II - Intro to HTML
SUMMARY: This class will teach you the basics of web site
creation.
Lesson 1: HTML Overview
Lesson 2: Building a web site
Lesson 3: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
Lesson 4: Web Design/Questions
WS4 - Robotics I - Robotics, why do we need them?
SUMMARY:
One has only to watch the news to know the emergence of robotics
in our scientific and private communities. In the microelectronics
industry 80% of the equipment used to manufacture our much
needed chips depend on robotic technology to handle our product
(humans are far to dirty and an unacceptable source of contamination).
Also take for instance the police and fire departments. Both
utilize robots where it is to dangerous to commit human beings
to. Police bomb squads use a robot to retrieve suspected un-detonated
bombs. Police swat squads use armed robotic units to enter
hostile premises to negotiate in hostage and terrorist situations.
There are robots in use by the fire departments that can see
through smoke, operate in toxic environments, and are equipped
to retrieve a downed human being from a room engulfed in flames.
We successfully landed a research robot on Mars and retrieved
much needed scientific data. We send them to debts in the
ocean to explore deeper than is safe for manned exploration.
Radio Shack sells a robotic lawn mower that will cut and mulch
your grass while you sip lemonade in the shade. For $1500.00
you can purchase a fully autonomous robotic dog from Sharper
Image. Robot Wars is one of the most popular TV imports from
England. I will demonstrate how the avrage student can enter
the high tech world of Robot Technology.
