Description
Whether you want to build rockets, design robots, or create the next generation of smartphones, Principles of Engineering and Technology is the class for you. In this hands-on class, students learn important skills needed to have a successful career in the ever-changing world of engineering and technology. It all begins with the ability to identify, explain, and use the engineering design process. Students will explore current technologies as well as learn sketching and drawing techniques used in the design of new and existing technology. Students put these skills to use as they research, design, and build simple design projects and communicate these design solutions effectively with others. Students who successfully complete BOTH the OSHA-10 and the NC3:PMI certifications are eligible to receive a free local dual credit through Pellissippi State Community College.

Engineering Timeline Project in Google Classroom

Engineering Timeline Project

Technology is anything created by humans to solve a problem. With that in mind choose any piece of technology from the simple pencil to the iPhone. Create a timeline for your chosen technology. 

The timeline must include:
* A minimum of 10 (five per person) events pinned at the appropriate point on the timeline.
* The timeline may begin at any point in history but must end with the current form of the technology (e.g. iPhone 11, etc)
* Each event must include a descriptive name.
* The description for each event must include a minimum of one good paragraph (5-7 sentences) and must be in your own words.

Once you have finished, attach the direct link to your timeline to this assignment.

Measurements Practice in Google Classroom

Measurements Practice

Make ten measurements to the 16th of an inch using your tape measure. 
Record them on your data sheet.
Hide the column with your measurements.
Switch with your partner and make your measurements.
Unhide your column and compare the measurements.
If your measurements are not exact, go back and check to see which, if either, measurement is correct.
