Great to meet so many parents! If you couldn't join us today, sorry we missed you. Linked below is a quick survey about our student, the Prezi I presented, and my website.
I look forward to a great year!
Take care,
Jon Jasinski

Google Classroom & Student Info Survey
Welcome to Principles of Engineering!
Looking forward to an exciting year! We'll talk about more details soon, but first, let's get down to business. You have two homework assignments tonight, due September 1st, Tuesday morning, 8:00 am:
1. Join the Google Classroom
- classroom.google.com
- Log in with @student.medwayschools.org google account (not your personal one)
- Click + in top right corner
- Enter class code: 2xr58oy
2. Student Info Survey
Please spend a few minutes filling out this student info survey (also found on the classroom). You must log in with your @medwayschools.org account (if you haven't already). Keep an eye on the assignment due date and time. This is due Tuesday morning by 8 am. Each entry is time-stamped; 8:01 am will be late and 1/2 credit. Email me if you have difficulties with your @medwayschools.org account. If you need access to a computer, use the library or my room during study hall, before school, or after school.Sunday, May 3, 2015

POE Bridge Contest
100 popsicles stick.
2 meters of string.
5 days.
5 bridges.
...none will be left standing.
After spring break, our 5 bridges will each be put to the test holding up loads hundreds of times their own weight! Before we do, we need to hear from you!
CLICK HERE to VOTE for the strongest, the most efficient, and the highest quality bridge.

Statics & Centroids!
Unit 2 - Statics and Materials.
Statics is the basis for the study of engineering mechanics and specifically rigid-body mechanics. Statics is concerned with the equilibrium of bodies that are at rest or that move at a constant velocity. Using measurements of geometry and force, Archimedes studied statics concepts in ancient Greece. Most of his work centered on simple machines for construction of buildings. Our first static structures: the paper towers we built today. These 15 short rolls of paper held over 16 kg (35 lbs) without flinching. In this unit you will learn how to identify and calculate forces acting on a body when it is in static equilibrium. You will determine the centroid, moment of inertia, and the modulus of elasticity of a structural member. You will calculate internal and external forces of a truss. Finally, you will use this knowledge to design, build, and test your own bridge.

Midterm grades posted
Midterms have been graded and posted on the portal.
Good job everyone! Very pleased with the results.
We'll finish the robotics events Wed, Thurs, and Monday after midterms and get those grades on this quarter. I'm currently double checking the quarter 2 grades I have and will let you know when they are finalized.
