Goals for unit 1 are that:
Students will understand that:
1. Engineers and engineering technologists apply math, science, and discipline-specific skills to solve problems.
2. Engineering and engineering technology careers offer creative job opportunities for individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds and goals.
3. Technical communication can be accomplished in oral, written, and visual forms and must be organized in a clear and concise manner.
4. Most mechanisms are composed of gears, sprockets, pulley systems, and simple machines.
5. Mechanisms are used to redirect energy within a system by manipulating force, speed, and distance.
6. Mechanical advantage ratios relate input forces to output forces in mechanisms; efficiency ratios relate input work to output work
7. Working in a team requires effective communication, clear responsibilities, and attention to interpersonal relationships.
