Advanced Manufacturing

Gene Haas Center for Advanced Manufacturing

Today Mitch visits one of the many Gene Haas training centers and discovers that in many industries that create the many items we encounter everyday, from car parts to Grandpa’s new hip, was once programmed and tooled by a machinist using advanced technology.

2.CCP.8 Compare positive and negative impacts effects computer technology has in the lives of people.

Telescopes

Vanderbilt Dyer Obsevatory

Today Finley visits the Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory to learn about how telescopes work to help us explore space.

“8.ETS1: Engineering Design
2) Research and communicate information to describe how data from technologies (telescopes, spectroscopes, satellites, and space probes) provide information about objects in the solar system and universe.”

Life Cycle of Product Development

Marleylilley

Product development is a process of many components. Today Zach experiences the process of designing a logo and getting it onto a product.

6.S.1A – 7.S.1A – 8.S.1A. Conceptual Understanding: The practices of science and engineering support the development of science concepts, develop the habits of mind that are necessary for scientific thinking, and allow students to engage in science in ways that are similar to those used by scientists and engineers. 6.S.1B – 7.S.1B – 8.S.1B Conceptual Understanding: Technology is any modification to the natural world created to fulfill the wants and needs of humans. The engineering design process involves a series of iterative steps used to solve a problem and often leads to the development of a new or improved technology.

Logistics and Electric Transportation

SC Inland Port

Today Zach experiences some of the Ins and Outs of howproducts move from where they are created to where they go to be purchased.

6.S.1A – 7.S.1A – 8.S.1A. Conceptual Understanding: The practices of science and engineering support the development of science concepts, develop the habits of mind that are necessary for scientific thinking, and allow students to engage in science in ways that are similar to those used by scientists and engineers. 6.S.1B – 7.S.1B – 8.S.1B Conceptual Understanding: Technology is any modification to the natural world created to fulfill the wants and needs of humans. The engineering design process involves a series of iterative steps used to solve a problem and often leads to the development of a new or improved technology.

Aviation/Aerospace Support

Celebrate Freedom Foun dation

Military Aircraft come in many forms and require support personnel of many types. From mechanics to pilots and drones to helicopters, Zach learns about many aspects of aviation today at Celebrate Freedom Foundation.
