Engineering in the Geometry Classroom Lauren Migun Research Experience for Teachers – Algebra & Geometry Bearden High School - Knoxville, Tennessee EXPLORING ENGINEERING Overview: This lesson will be an extension activity in which students are able to explore possible future careers. They will look specifically at engineering but also will be able to answer questions about their own passions and talents. Duration: 90 min (with reading and discussion board) Materials: Resources Is There an Engineer in You? by Celeste Baine (Chapter 1 + Cover Art): http://www.engineeringedu.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=414&search=celeste+baine Engineering Your Future http://futuresinengineering.org/index.php 27 Questions to Find Your Passion http://liveyourlegend.net/ Access to Internet Reading Materials Organizational Chart Guiding Questions Discussion Board Pencil/Pen Highlighter (if possible) REGRESSION MODELS OF COAL PRODUCTION Overview: Students will use regression models to examine the future of the coal industry and the power grid overall. Duration: 90 min (with reading and discussion board) Materials: Resources Coal Picture Taken From: http://kvnf.org/post/bowie-announces-further-layoffs-coal-mine-near-paonia Everything You Need to Know About the Coal Industry Crisis http://fusion.net/story/256156/coal-industry-in-crisis/ Everything You Need to Know About the EPA’s Proposed Rule on Coal Plants https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/epa-will-propose-a-rule-to-cut-emissions-from-existing-coal-plants-by-up-to-30-percent/2014/06/02/f37f0a10-e81d-11e3-afc6-a1dd9407abcf_story.html The data used in this activity can be found at: www.nma.org/pdf/c_production_state_rank.pdf Access to Internet Reading materials Worksheet Graphing calculator (TI-84) Pencils/Pens Highlighters (if possible) SAGGING POWER LINES Overview: Students will use arc length, sector area, and segment area formulas to determine whether sagging power lines are a danger to the giraffes at the Knoxville Zoo. Duration: 90 min (with discussion board) Materials: Resources Conductor Sag Demonstration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPN1NZBz810   Why Do Power Lines Sag on Hot Days? http://www.atcllc.com/blog/why-do-power-lines-sag-on-hot-days/ How Does an Engineer Determine the Amount of Slack That Should Exist Between Power Lines? https://www.quora.com/How-does-an-engineer-determine-the-amount-of-slack-that-should-exist-between-power-lines    Visualizing the Grid http://www.npr.org/2009/04/24/110997398/visualizing-the-u-s-electric-grid  Internet Access (if possible) Worksheet Pencil Calculator Are the Giraffes Safe???
