1. Engineering Design Central Concepts: Engineering design involves practical problem solving, research, development, and invention/innovation, and requires designing, drawing, building, testing, and redesigning. Students should demonstrate the ability to use the engineering design process to solve a problem or meet a challenge. Ma. Science and Engineering Framework 2006
1. 1 Identify and explain the steps of the engineering design process: identify the problem, research the problem, develop possible solutions, select the best possible solution(s), construct prototypes and/or models, test and evaluate, communicate the solutions, and redesign. Identify the problem Research the Redesign problem Communicate the solutions Test and evaluate Ma. Science and Engineering Framework 2006 Develop solutions Construct a prototype Select the best solution
Step 1 Identify the problem Student - Design, build and program a robot to: battle in the sumo competition The bot must be heavy and have an Effective way to destroy the competition. Ma. Science and Engineering Framework 2006
Step 2 Research the problem Explore other options via the internet Student: List the internet sites that were helpful. Site 1 http: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Gear_ratio Site 2 http: //nxtprograms. com/mini_sumo/index. html Site 3 http: //www. thenxtstep. com/2008/05/nxt-mini-sumo-bot. html What did you learn from your research? A We need to create a bot with torque B Our bot needs to have an offensive attack C Our bot needs to be solid with no detachable parts Ma. Science and Engineering Framework 2006
Step 3 Develop solutions BRAINSTORM COLLABORATION Student : Share your ideas with your design team. List your ideas below. 1. Small, compact, solid bot. 2. Attack point 3. Unbreakable Ma. Science and Engineering Framework 2006
Step 4 Select the best Possible solution(s) Student: Describe which solution(s) best meet the need or solve the problem. Describe exactly what idea or mixture of ideas your design team decided on for the first robot prototype? Use the next slide for your response. Ma. Science and Engineering Framework 2006
The Somerset Berkley writing rubric will be used for assessment. Student : Skillfully and imaginatively describe what your first prototype will look like. Our prototype is compact and well built. The small, heavy bot will make it harder for competitors robots to move our bot. We built a compact bot, with a low center of gravity to ensure that no one could get underneath it. We built a strongly supports poker from the top of our bot aimed to keep the competition away from out bot. The poker will hit the other bot and crush its weak foundation.
Step 5 Construct a prototype Build a robot with your NXT lego kit Create a computer program for your robot. Use the next slide(s) for the digital pictures of your prototypes and computer programs. Ma. Science and Engineering Framework 2006
Step 5 evidence 1 st Prototype picture and computer program
Step 6 Test and Evaluate the solution(s) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Does your robot work? Did it perform as expected? What changes are necessary for the robot and the program? Does it meet the original design constraints? Is it safe? Lab work- Modify your robot project and use the next slide to post a picture of your improved robot project. Ma. Science and Engineering Framework 2006
Step 6 evidence 1 st modified prototype picture and computer program
Step 6 evidence 2 nd modified prototype picture and computer program
Step 7 Communicate the solution(s) Provide the You. Tube link of your video that shows how your robot meets the challenge. You. Tube video link : http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=7 T Wzpsaz. Pg. Y&feature=youtu. be Ma. Science and Engineering Framework 2006
Redesign Overhaul the solution(s) based on information gathered during testing and self-assessment activity. Ma. Science and Engineering Framework 2006
• Demonstrate the ability to use technology for research, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, communication, collaboration, creativity, and innovation.
