PREREQUISITE: ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY I

This activity and research based class continues to explore the methods and practices used in engineering relating to power and energy and, more specifically, alternative energy systems.  Activities include the continued refinement of skills in ProDesktop and the investigation and application of heat transfer, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic principles in the development of useful alternative energy devices. Activities are completed by engineering teams and a prototype and engineering notebook are presented to the class upon completion. To complete the prototype, students will brainstorm a solution to a power and energy problem, complete research on the materials used, do a limited patent search, apply the laws of science and mathematics, learn how to safely use the equipment needed to make the prototype and verify the solution with mathematics and scientific laws. Teams often take advantage of on-going collaborations with the University of Massachusetts, HampshireCollege and SmithCollege. This is the second of two courses that prepares students for the Technology/Engineering MCAS test option.
