ENGINEERING

1. WHAT IS?

   • Is the application of sientic knowledge, practical knowwledge and empirical evidence. The field of engineeringg is very broad and encompasses a great range of more specialized fields.
     • Aerospace & Aeronautical Engineering
     • Agricultural Engineering
     • Architectural Engineering
     • Biochemical Engineering
     • Biological Engineering
     • Biomedical Engineering
     • Chemical Engineering

     • CARPENTER
     • AUTO MECHANIC
     • PC TECHNICIAN
     • WELDER
     • MACHINIST

3. WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY

   • Engineering and technology are intertwined terms in society. Technology can be knowledge of techniques and processes, or it can be embedded in machines, computers, devices , and factories.

4. DESIGN PROCESS

   • Is a series os steps that enginers follow when they are trying to solve a problem.
   • Identifying the problem and its requirements and ends up with a a proposed solution.
   • In this project we propose a series of steps which at¡re describes below.

5. IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM

   • Engineering ask critical questions about the problem and what they want to create, whether this is a space station, a skyscraper , a car or a computer.
     • What is the problem?
     • Define the problem is specific terms. Be as specific principles that underlie the problem?
     • which are the available materials?
     • What do we need to know in terms of scientific principles that underlie the problem?
     • What are the constraints of the problem?
     • Which are the criterial that must be met so that the solution i s acceptable?

6. DIVIDE PROBLEM INTO SUB-PROBLEMS

   • Is the solution to the main problem straight forward?
   • Does the main problem consist of smaller and simpler problems?
   • Engineers set smaller goals. Instead of trying to plan everything from the beginning that figure at the firs obvious step and then move to the next one

7. EXPLORE THE SCIENCE

   • After dividing, enginers investigate the scientific principles. The fundamental background science is essential for solving sub-problems.
     • What areas of science cover my project?
     • Which are the scientific principles that underlie each sub-problem?
     • Research background theory
     • Perform experiments-tests to understand the theory´s application

8. SOLVE SUB-PROBLEMS

   • DESIGN
   • BUILD
   • TEST
   • IMPROVE

9. COMBINE SUB SOLUTIONS

   • Does it work?
   • Does it solve the need?
   • Does the final design meet the criterial set?
   • Analize and talk about what works, that does´t and what could be improved.
   • Discuss how you can improve your solution.

10. PRESENT FINAL SOLUTION

    • Review and evaluate your work and present your final solution in front of an audience.

11. CRITERIA

    • The table must withstand a weight of 2-3 kg
    • The table must be sturdy and stable
    • The table´s surface must be inclined to make the use of keyboard easier.
    • The table´s surface must be ventilated, to prevent laptop form overheating.

12. CONSTRAITS

    • The available materials are 5 newspapers and 50 A4 sheets of paper.
    • The available tools are duct tape and a pair of scissors.
    • The available time is 30 minutes.
