Impulse

-in mechanics, something that changes the momentum of an object; the integral of a force with respect to time.

If we launch model rockets on the football field, what is the largest size engine we can use and have them reliably land within the open area of the field/track (assuming no wind)?

Support CHS

As I understand it, the better you do on this week's STAR tests, the better off our High School. None of us loves a standardized test, but since we're taking advantage of all that CHS has to offer in these new Engineering Courses, I appreicate you doing the best you can on the tests.

Thank you for making a difference for all of us!

4 Quadrant Feedback

When you test a prototype against a customer, you can use the following format to take notes and organize your observations:



"+" - desirable outcomes
"delta" - outcomes to change
"?" - questions raised
"light bulb" - ideas generated

Mike putting the 4 Quadrant Feedback system to use:

What is "Design"?

We've hammered it in that Engineering is "problem solving"...

So how do we define "Design"?

What could we come up with for an idea as far as what "Design Thinking" is all about?

A System of Systems

This video is not only entertaining but also very relevant to our class. What can we take away from this contraption?

What questions do we want to ask to support our understanding of this?

If you worked on this project, what subsystem would you build? Get your thinking caps on...

Leadership

What is Leadership?

What does it mean to you?

How can you be a leader now? How can you be a leader in the future?
