Analyze and Evaluate: Students will analyze the specifications of a TT motor using calipers, a ruler, and various datasheets and evaluate the necessary dimensions for a 3-sided motor bracket that can accommodate the motor and fasten with two M3 bolts. |
Arizona Educational Technology Standards
9-12.4.a: Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.
Arizona Engineering Standards
2.8: Document and report all results
5.2: Use measurement devices such as calipers, oscilloscopes, and digital multimeters to gather data for analysis |
Design and Create: Students will design a diagram of the motor bracket with multiple angles and labeled measurements and create a 3D model of the bracket using Tinkercad that matches the specifications of the diagram. |
