To all EVEN section students
Using newly acquired
knowledge students design their bridge through a set of rough draft drawings
and a final drawing which will be used as a template for their project.
The Engineering
Design Process is used for this project which involves designing, building, and
testing a structure, in this case a Balsawood Bridge. A major area of focus is
on the structures overall efficiency. Concepts such as Tension, Torsion, Sheer
and Compression are considered when deigning the structures.
The nature of this project
involves the use of sharp objects and cutting tools. Students are also
evaluated on how they follow classroom safety procedures. Key points which are stressed to all students
are:
1) Focusing on the task at
hand.
2) Displaying proper use of
cutting tools.
3) Work area is kept clean.
4) Listening and follow
teacher’s daily instructional plan.
Final Product is a Balsawood
Bridge which students take home.
