Review “Writing as an Engineer”
http://engr1304.blogspot.com/2014/01/writing-as-engineer.html
The end of the semester is approaching fast! I am trying to give you enough time to do classwork in class, so that you will have time outside of class to get your project done.
Reminder: Class attendance is 10% of your final grade. It is very important that you make it to class, and make it to class on time!
April 24& 29 Project presentations.
May 1st Review for final.Final Exam: May5-11
Grades due in MyLoneStar (4 pm) May 13
Consider making a blog to share and gather info for your group rather than relying on emails. Just go to blogger.com, or blogspot.com, sign in, and start posting. Let one person be in charge of the blog, aloow comments for everyone else to add and edit information. Another alternative - create a fb page.
Your group report should have the following sections:

Your group report should have the following sections:
Heading:
Centered on page: Name of your product (pick a catchy name!)
List team member names with their responsibilities, with date, and" LSC ENGR Project".
The No Totter Water Potter
Jack – Research and Design, written report.
Jill – Construction & Testing
Mary – Construction & Testing
Centered on page: Name of your product (pick a catchy name!)
List team member names with their responsibilities, with date, and" LSC ENGR Project".
The No Totter Water Potter
Jack – Research and Design, written report.
Jill – Construction & Testing
Mary – Construction & Testing
Joe – Compiled data, created graphs, tables, and diagrams.
1. Introduction (5 points)Briefly state the product you decided to create, what need it will fill, who it will be marketed to, and why you chose this product.
ie – Jack and Jill have refused to go up the hill, so we created a clean drinking water transportation and containment system to deliver and store fresh hill spring water right inside their own house.
2. Research and Background information (10 points)As can be seen on the map in figure 2.1, on top of High Hill, at the headwater of Slippery Stream, lies Clearwater Spring. The spring water is purified through a natural filtration process where the groundwater seeps through rocks and soil (see ref #1). Etc. etc. This water was last tested on Nov 28, 2012 by AAAEnviroWet and was found to be exceptionally pure (2).
Notice - figures are referred to and discused within text.
Figures have figure captions with a short description of what the figure is on.
References are #'d, full reference at the very end of the report, in the order that they appear in the report.
Just format everything like your textbooks are formatted - with sections, subsections, figures, tables, etc.
.
3. Product specifications, diagrams, pictures, and user instructions. (25 points)
Older lead pipes on the High Hill property will need to be removed, and replaced with insulated polyvinyl chloride piping installed according to rhyme building code specifications (2). A splitter valve will divide the water flow into an above ground black solar hot water pot, and an underground cold water pot where it is stored until needed as shown in figure 3.1.
4. Testing , testing methods, modifications, and operation procedures. (25 points)
Water purity, pressure, and temperatures were tested throughout the system at various weather conditions as shown in table 4.1. After consideration of the data, a pressure relief valve was installed to prevent rupture of the solar heater during hot summer months, and an air injection line was installed to blow water out of lines susceptible to freeze in the winter. Operating procedures for both summer, and winter months are presented below….

5. Observations, Results and Discussion (25 points)The variable water flow rates resulting from seasonal weather changes in table 5.1 were used to calculate the storage tank size needed to ensure a constant water supply through the entire year. Seasons weather changes also affected the solar water heater temperatures, and additional gas or electric heating may be required in winter months.
.
.
6. Conclusions, suggestions for future work. (10 points)Jack and Jill’s new “No Totter Water Potter” network is a vast improvement over the previous bucket and muddy path water transportation system. Although this new system has many advantages, the spring snowmelt water runoff poses a possible threat to the water purity in late April and May, and future mitigation for this is strongly suggested. Etc.

Presentation:
Short, sweet, simple, entertaining.
Total presentation should be no longer than 10 minutes. Bring a USB drive with diagrams, slides, videos of your diagram, etc. to share. Presentations will be graded by your class peers on enthusiasm, clarity, organization, body language, voice projection, visual aids, content, etc.
Practice makes perfect! For the ethics unit, each groups will choose a case study of an engineering disaster to present. This will give you a heads-up on what presentation skills you need to fix before your project presentation.
