Mastery Objectives:
SWBAT explain the engineering design process to create a product.
SWBAT use a 3D printer and software to design a product.
Background: In the news there are always stories about engineers designing million-dollar prosthetic devices. Very few insurance companies actually allow for these devices, even in the United States. Watch this video: https://youtu.be/Kll-yYQwmuM.
Directions: Your job is to design a prosthetic limb. Keep in mind what you learned from the videos that you watched. You will need to do a sketch, and a reflection.
Requirements:
There are a couple of things you need to turn in:
Sketch of the limb you designed either a paper version or on the computer.
Reflection of the limb you designed and the reason behind your design (2 paragraphs). This will be created in google docs. Discuss the cost, the material chosen, how it will be manufactured, and how you will make it stand out.
