1. Kinetic Sculpture & Clocks The Art & Science of Mechanical Engineering and Design

2. In this course you will: Design and build working machines Use Computer-Aided-Design and Drafting Use creativity side-by-side with engineering equations Apply teamwork and project management to to meet an engineering challenge Communicate technical achievements orally and in writing. Create a webpage documenting your work

3. Model Clock Project: Weeks 1 AutoCAD for 2D Drawing Rapid Prototyping using the Lasercamm Machine design basics Timing analysis and verification Why the pendulum? Why the hanging mass? Debby Grunewald’s clock

4. Kinetic Sculpture Project: Weeks 2-4 Physics of ball motion, energy, and impact Creativity, analysis, teamwork, communication, project management Web Report

5. Kinetic Sculpture Controller Microprocessor control box developed at UCSD Measure ball events and speed Controls motors that move kinetic sculpture Programmable in Basic

6. Controlling Your Kinetic Sculpture Click here for video

7. Computer Simulation Kinetic sculptures are simulated and compared to actual performance

8. Creating Your Own Sculpture Each team will create its own sculptor to be presented at the final COSMOS presentation

9. Why Teach this Way? Engineers and Scientists of ALL disciplines will need to: Tackle open-ended problems Work in teams and communicate effectively Use engineering tools and theory Develop life long learning skills To develop high quality work one needs: A challenge, passion, hard work, and fun!

10. Design Studio Safety Safety is paramount Shop etiquette Lasercamm: worth $100,000 When in the Design Studio Safety glasses required at all times Wear closed-toe shoes to lab! Long hair, dangling necklaces and earrings, all need to be secured Lasercamm and safety quiz Wed morning
