Principles Of Engineering Syllabus
Unit 1 Energy and Power Lesson 1.1 Mechanisms: 1. Engineers and engineering technologists apply math, science, and discipline-specic skills to solve problems. 2. Engineering and engineering technology careers offer creative job opportunities for individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds and goals. 3. Technical communication can be accomplished in oral, written, and visual forms and must be organized in a clear and concise manner. 4. Most mechanisms are composed of gears, sprockets, pulley systems, and simple machines. 5. Mechanisms are used to redirect energy within a system by manipulating force, speed, and distance. 6. Mechanical advantage ratios mathematically evaluate input work versus output work of mechanisms. Lesson 1.2 Energy Sources 1. Energy source classications include nonrenewable, renewable, and inexhaustible. 2. Energy source processes include harnessing, storing, transporting, and converting. 3. Energy often needs to be converted from one form to another to meet the needs of a given system. 4. An understanding of work, energy, and power is required to determine system efficiency. 5. An understanding of the basics of electricity requires the understanding of three fundamental concepts of voltage, current, and resistance. 6. The atomic structure of a material determines whether it is a conductor, an insulator, or a semiconductor. Lesson 1.3 Energy Applications 1. Energy management is focused on efficient and accessible energy use. 2. System energy requirements must be understood in order to select the proper energy source. 3. Energy systems can include multiple energy sources that can be combined to convert energy into useful forms. 4. Hydrogen fuel cells create electricity and heat through an electrochemical process that converts hydrogen and oxygen into water. 5. Solar cells convert light energy into electricity by using photons to create electron ow. 6. Thermodynamics is the study of the effects of work, thermo energy, and energy on a system. 7. Thermo energy can transfer via convection, conduction, or radiation.

Lesson 1.4 Design Problem Energy and Power 1. Design problems can be solved by individuals or in teams. 2. Engineers use a design process to create solutions to existing problems. 3. Design briefs are used to identify the problem specications and to establish project constraints. 4. Teamwork requires constant communication to achieve the desired goal. 5. Design teams conduct research to develop their knowledge base, stimulate creative ideas, and make informed decisions. Unit 2 Materials and Structures Lesson 2.1 Statics 1. Laws of motion describe the interaction of forces acting on a body. 2. Structural member properties including centroid location, moment of inertia, and modulus of elasticity are important considerations for structure design. 3. Static equilibrium occurs when the sum of all forces acting on a body are equal to zero. 4. Applied forces are vector quantities with a dened magnitude, direction, and sense, and can be broken into vector components. 5. Forces acting at a distance from an axis or point attempt or cause an object to rotate. 6. In a statically determinate truss, translational and rotational equilibrium equations can be used to calculate external and internal forces. 7. Free body diagrams are used to illustrate and calculate forces acting upon a given body. Lesson 2.2 Material Properties 1. Materials are the substances with which all objects are made. 2. Materials are composed of elements and area categorized by physical and chemical properties. 3. Materials consist of pure elements. Compounds and mixtures and are typically classied as metallic, ceramic, organic, polymeric, and composite. 4. Material properties including recyclability and cost are important considerations for engineers when choosing appropriate materials for a design. 5. Material selection is based upon mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic, and chemical properties. 6. Raw materials undergo various manufacturing processes in the production of consumer goods. Lesson 2.3 Material Testing 1. Engineers utilize a design process and mathematical formulas to solve and document design problems. 2. Material testing aids in determining a products reliability, safety, and predictability in function. 3. Engineers perform destructive and non-destructive tests on material specimens for the purpose of identifying and verifying the properties of various materials. 4. Material testing provides a reproducible evaluation of material properties. 5. Tensile testing data is used to create a test sample stress strain curve. 6. Stress strain data points are used to identify and calculate sample material properties including elastic range, proportional limit, modulus of elasticity, elastic limit, resilience, yield point, plastic deformation, ultimate strength, failure, and ductility. Lesson 2.4 Design Problem Materials and Structures 1. Design problems can be solved by individuals or in teams. 2. Engineers use a design process to create solutions to existing problems.

Design teams conduct research to develop their knowledge base, stimulate creative ideas, and make informed decisions. Unit3 Control Systems Lesson 3.1 Machine Control 1. Flowcharts provide a step by step schematic representation of an algorithm or process. 2. Control systems are designed to provide consentient process control and reliability. 3. Control system protocols are an established set of commands or functions typically created in a computer programming language. 4. Closed loop systems use digital and analog sensor feedback to make operational and process decisions. 5. Open loop systems use programming constants such as time to make operational and process decisions. Lesson 3.2 Fluid Power 1. Fluid power systems are categorized as either pneumatic, which utilizes gas, or hydraulic, which utilizes liquid. 2. Fluid power is possible because in a system of conned uid, pressure acts equally in all directions. 3. The most basic components of all uid power systems include a reservoir or receiver, a pump or compressor, a valve, and a cylinder. 4. Fluid power systems are designed to transmit force over great distances, multiply an input force, and increase the distance that an output will move. 5. Laws about the behavior of uid systems and standard conventions for calculating values within uid systems aid in the design and understanding of such systems. 6. Standard schematic symbols and conventions are used to communicate uid power designs. Lesson 3.3 Design Problem Control Systems 1. Design problems can be solved by individuals or in teams. 2. Engineers use a design process to create solutions to existing problems. 3. Design briefs are used to identify the problem specications and to establish project constraints. 4. Teamwork requires constant communication to achieve the desired goal. 5. Design teams conduct research to develop their knowledge base, stimulate creative ideas, and make informed decisions. Unit 4 Statistics and Kinematic Lesson 4.1 Statistics 1. Engineers use statistics to make informed decisions based upon established principles. 2. Visual representations of data analyses allow for easy distribution and understanding of data. 3. Statistics is based upon both theoretical and experimental data analysis. Lesson 4.2 Kinematics 1. When working with bodies in motion, engineers must be able to differentiate and calculate distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. 2. When air resistance is not taken into account, released objects will experience acceleration due to gravity, also known as freefall. 3. Projectile motion can be predicted and controlled using kinematics equations. 4. When a projectile is launched, velocity in the x direction remains constant; whereas, with time, the velocity in the Y direction in magnitude and direction changes due to gravity.

Grading Guidelines

Assessments:

Documentation Grades, Class work & Homework Grades, Test & Quiz Grades (other than semester exams).

Students are required to keep a record of all learning activities, projects and problems in which they participate. All work/ documentation is due at the end of each unit or activity by due date. Assessments may be in any of the following forms: Examples of work that students have done Pictures and illustrations of learning process Notes of material read and important information Sketches Student interviews PowerPoint presentations Computer Files Presentations in front of the class Worksheets Computer Drawings Printouts of completed work Te s t & Q u i z z e s ( o t h e r t h a n s e m e s t e r

exams) Documentation of work is also used to provide students the opportunity to demonstrate skills they have been developing in other areas of their educational career. Students must be able to communicate what they have accomplished and what they have learned. Late Work Late work will be accepted up to one week late, and by the end of the current six weeks (with penalty of a late grade), and with approval of Instructor. Late work should always be turned in for credit! It will almost always be worth some credit, unlike a zerothat is worth NOcredit. Maximum grade you can receive for late work is a 70. The later it is, the less it is worth, and eventually it will be worthless. So hurry ! Students should turn in all homework ,class work & project assignments by the assigned due date. Homework is due at the very beginning of class on the due day, and will be taken up as students enter the classroom (unless instructed otherwise). Therefore it must be ready to turn in before you come to class. If the homework is not ready to be turned in at the very start of class, it will be considered late. If you are absent the day the homework is due (it is due at the start of the next class attended). Your absence must be marked as excused in the attendance system the day you return to class. This is marked by the attendance clerk, otherwise your homework will be considered late. Class Participation Students will be graded on class participation as well as participation within their groups, and the amount of effort shown by them. The more effort shown--the better the grade. Lesser effort equals less of a grade. (sleeping while working in a group, is no help to the group and results in no credit ) Engineers Notebook The engineers notebook is supplied by the school. It is intended for each students notebook to stay in class to avoid loss and damage. It is necessary to have your engineering notebook each and every day, to take notes and do certain assignments in. Portfolios will be graded, spot checks will be done by the teacher at random times, with more detailed grading done at end of each six weeks. Portfolio Students are required to keep a portfolio for each of the Project Lead the Way engineering courses that are taken at Global High School. In each course, students will keep documentation of all original ideas, sketches, projects, accomplishments, best works, and materials to support their work. You will need to be careful about what kind of documentation you keep in the portfolio, Just as copyright and plagiarism issues are important in research papers that you write for English and History classes, they are just as important here. A portfolio is about you: your ideas, your work, your thoughts, and your successes! The portfolio will be graded at least once each six weeks, so keep them current and organized. Semester Exams The semester and final exams are standardized tests created by Project Lead the Way. It is given and taken according to their instructions and standards, and by their rules. It must be taken by every student, and it is administered on-line by PLTW.

Classroom Procedures
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. All work and notes in engineering notebook are to be done neatly and completely. Units must be shown. Your team (at your table) should be your first resource for questions. Bring all required materials to class each day. Save all computer work on your FLASH DRIVE ---Never save your work on an individual machine there is no guarantee it will be there when you come back. 6. Make up work: Missed Homework and Notes: You will be allowed one day to make up homework / notes for each day missed plus one day. It is your responsibility to take care of this, I will assume that you have, so dont tell me later that you dont have the notes because you were absent. Missed Tests / Quizzes: Please schedule a time to take your missed test / quiz your first day back. (If a test / quiz, or project due date has been previously announced and scheduled, you will be responsible for it the day you return.) Missed Project Work: All project work is due your first day back. If your team is dependent on you and your contribution to a project, you must coordinate with them to submit your part with theirs on the due date, in order for the project to be totally complete. This is your responsibility, dont let your team down !! If you are on your death-bed and are going to be absent, and you have part of a group project. You must make arrangements to get your part to your team, to have for their presentation or to turn in on the due date. SCHOOL RELATED ABSENCES: You are responsible for requesting all work before leaving on school trips. Work is due the day you return.

4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Respect others along with the furnishings and equipment, sometimes this requires intentional effort. We will work in teams in my class often, and this requires effort from all participants. a. No cursing or put-down remarks will be tolerated at any time. Always be positive and polite. b. Raise your hand, in order for One person to talk at a time. c. Keep hands, feet, and other objects to yourself. d. Keep your area neat and clean and pick-up after yourself. Please return all supplies to their designated home neatly, before leaving for the day. Never remove my supplies from my room without my permission, or we will not have it for our next class to work with. e. Always leave your area cleaner than how you found it. Be on time and be in your assigned seat/workstation ready to work when the bell finishes ringing. Three tardies earns a referral to the office to discuss your problem getting to class on time. a. Stay in your seat/workstation and no talking at the beginning of the class, while I am taking roll and making announcements, this is stuff you will need to know. b. Stay in your seat/workstation and no talking during class while the teacher is talking to the class, this is more stuff that you need to know. c. Keep visiting and socializing during work time down to a minimum, that is not directly related to the subject matter at hand. Time is short during class, and you will need all of it. Follow directions the first time given. Follow all school & class rules. All school & classroom rules apply. Stay on Task, dont be doing anything you are not supposed to be doing your responsibility is your current assignment. Dont be working on other classes work during my class because what we are doing in engineering at that moment is the most important thing in the world at that time. No random surfing the internet, unless instructed to do so. We have limited time together in class to get our work done, so keep your surfing for homework. Unauthorized downloading of anything onto computers is subject to disciplinary action. No random printing, ask permission to print anything, unless otherwise instructed. Bring supplies to class. Be prepared to work. Not having supplies is not an excuse for not getting your work done. You will always be responsible for the work we are doing. Only you are responsible for this. No food, drink, candy or personal grooming at anytime in this classroom. Do not bring your lunch to my class to finish. Lunch is to be eaten in its entirety during lunch time in the lunch room. Restroom trips must be limited and kept short. If you abuse restroom visits, I will establish more structured rules. ( Freedom and responsibility go hand and hand ! )

Consequences: If you choose to break a rule, the consequences will be: 1st Offense Free Warning (verbal, eye contact or written). 2nd Offense Possible talk in hallway with teacher, and possible isolation. Citizenship/Participation grade may be lowered. 3rd Offense - Probably more talk-time in hallway with teacher, Parent contact, and a possible referral. Citizenship/Participation grade may be lowered again. 4th Offense Hallway talk-time with teacher must not be working, Therefore, Parent will be contacted again, a referral will be written to initiate talk-time with assistant principal. Citizenship/Participation grade will be lowered again.

Immediate Referral: 1. Severe disruption. 2. Talking back and/or argumentative towards the teacher. 3. Unauthorized use or abuse of equipment.

Rewards: If you choose to follow the rules, the rewards will be great: 1. There will be much Praise ! 2. Good participation / effort grades 3. Good citizenship grades 4. Positive environment for learning will be had by all !
