Introduction to Engineering - Wednesday, 3rd Period

[notagoose]

“Welcome back,” Goose nodded to his class, “for today’s lesson we’re going to start looking into specific engineering modules and today we are going to be looking at mechanical engineering for the next couple of weeks, this week we will look at the general history and overview of mechanical engineering and next week we will look at specific sub genres and disciplines,”


He began to go into a general overview of thehistoryof mechanical engineering, making sure to highlight specific achievements and what it involved.


“For something different, I thought we would also start the practical components of this course and for this project we will look at the mechanics of an old analogue wall clock, which I realise is probably outdated for most of you, myself included but the principles of mechanical engineering still apply here,” he said, “so you have different options for designs and the tools needed to build and see how you go following the tutorial.”

During the Lecture

[notagoose]

Listen to the lecture, take notes, start thinking of clock designs etc.

Jo found it weird that something like a wall clock would not as commonly used today. She took careful notes during the lecture and was actually looking forward to the project, it reminded her of carpentry classes at her old school.

Class Activity

[notagoose]

There are moddable designs and tools and the instructions needed to try and build a working wall clock.

Jo decided to go with a simple design and it took most of the lesson to do it but she was able to mostly follow the instructions and by the end of it, she was pretty happy with her end result.

Alara was doing okay with the project until she started putting the pieces together and then pushed too hard and ended up breaking it in the process.

She sighed and then started the process all over again.
