Q1 of PLTW - Principles of Engineering

         2. Professional Interview

• Our goal for this project was to network in the engineering field and learn vital information on how to pursue a career. I was able to interview a mechatronics engineer, and he gave me advice on college credits and internships, and to apply to as many as possible. for my future in engineering and being able to get a job in the future.

  3. 1.1.6 Compound Machine Project

Our goal as a group was to lift a 1kg weight 5 inches with a certain range of Ima, and doing so as a group in a set period of time. We chose to bias the design off a ski lift. We learned to use simple components and gears to make a complex machine that we can turn by-hand to complete this task. 

    4. 3.1.7 Breadboarding Activity

• We got to make simple electronic circuits based on the designs we were given, and we learned about resistance, voltage, and current. The main thing I took away from this project was how to build and design circuits.
