2. Instructional Team Dr. Nathan Delson Robotics, Biomedical Devices, Product Design,and Design Education Prof. Raymond de Callafon Controls, Robotics, Hard disk drives, Active Noise Cancellation Teacher Fellow, Brin Belyea Masters in Organic Chemistry Cluster Assistants: Evan Wooley and Zac Dooley

3. Course Objective: Introduction to Engineering 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

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

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

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

7. Controlling Your Kinetic Sculpture Click here for video

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

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

10. 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!
