Preface: |
In Lesson 1.1 Mechanisms, you will gain an understanding of mechanisms through the application of theory-based calculations accompanied by lab experimentation.

Essential Questions: |
Students will keep considering:
1. Choose an engineering degree field. What are four possible occupations that represent a wide range of job responsibilities? 2. If each member of a team is working in different physical locations across the world, how might each form of communication be best accomplished? 3. Identify a mechanism in your household. Why that mechanism is designed the way it is? 4. What are some strategies that can be used to make everyday mechanisms more efficient? 5. Describe one situation in which an engineer would want to include a mechanism with a mechanical advantage greater than one? What is the advantage in this case? 6. How could designing a solution to a mechanical problem without regard to efficiency be problematic? |
