They then must present their design concepts via drawingsand oral description. The main objective of this exercise is to develop communication skillsneeded for conveying design ideas.In the second project, a reverse engineering analysis is performed using the device used for thecreativity project. Here, teams of students open up the device with the purpose of re-communicating the actual design of the internals and their critique of its advantages anddisadvantages. They are also expected to perform at least one engineering analysis of the deviceand compare the results to either a

Symington has an initiative currently underway that would eliminate bothpersonal income taxes and property taxes which provides one-third of the income for the stateand is the primary source for income to schools. The income tax cut would be equivalent to$100 million reduction in revenue generated from income tax alone5. At present, schools inArizona are already feeling the strain from previous budget cuts causing salary freezes,elimination of school bus transportation for special events and inadequate technology forschools. The proposed additional tax cuts will only further reduce the quality of education.History may repeat itself. In the 70’s, California’s property tax cut, Proposition 13, caused theelimination of music, after school, and summer

The subscripts 1 and 2 refer to quantities atpoints 1 and 2, respectively. Here, A refers to the cross sectional areas at the indicated locations. The differential equation governing the height of the free surface above the level of the exit is then obtained by combining equations (1) and (2); it is found to be.’Wg+It is conventional to use the quasi-steady model to simplify these equations and obtainapproximate results.

Acceleration (from Dynamics course) The acceleration of a particle is a = k sin(S t/T). Knowing that both the velocity and theposition coordinates of the particle are zero when t = 0 and that T is a constant, determine 1. the equations of motion, i.e. v in terms of t and x in terms of t 2. the maximum velocity 3. the position at time t = 2T.The interesting thing about this problem was the difficulty which students had in integrating thesine function with the added constants.

The student is asked toimplement the simplified system for the project in the lab. To implement the bean counter, students used logic modules. Each module is simpleenough that its function is easily grasped. The input responds to a switch closure andthe output is a switch closure provided by a reed relay. Circuits within the module wereimplemented using 3M circuit strips. Each module was powered with 4 rechargeable AAbatteries. Light-emitting diodes were used to indicate power-on and logic levels.
