Aerospace Engineering

• Design, develop, and test aircraft and spacecraft ranging from rockets and spacecraft to gliders and small passenger aircraft.

• processes and knowledge that can be used to extend human abilities as well as satisfy human needs and wants.

• Design, develop, and test the manufacture of electrical equipment and large-scale electrical systems.

• Design, develop, and test small electronic systems, such as appliances, telephones, surgical devices, etc.

Mock-up

• A rough model made of cardboard or other materials

• A to scale model

• A model that is 1/4 of the original

• an object, usually built to scale, that communicates information and represents a larger object

What is the earliest example of engineering

• Computer

• Automobile

• Archimedes screw - early water lifting device

• television

Brainstorming

• technique teams use for generating ideas where team members each suggest as many ideas as possible without regard to whether or not they are good.Thinking of as many ideas as you can and sharing them to come up with the best solution.

• Following group think mindlessly

• Thinking in a way that is new and refreshing

• Well-founded on evidence and corresponds accurately to the real world.

Engineer

• A person who is trained in and use technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems

• processes and knowledge that can be used to extend human abilities as well as satisfy human needs and wants.

• A person who designs any of a variety of things. This usually implies the task of creating drawings or in some ways uses visual cues to organize his or her work.

• A person who drafts models of a craft

Model

• A representation of an object that is not similar to the original object

• A visual, mathematical, or three-dimensional representation in detail of an object or design, often smaller than the original.

• A pictorial representation of an object in which all three dimensions are drawn at full scale

• Well-founded on evidence and corresponds accurately to the real world.
