My time in the military has had the most profound impact on my life for sure. When I joined I was a young 18 year old with no real concept of the way the world worked. I found myself in a foreign country requiring me to grow up fast. Over my 22 year career I met many people from many different backgrounds, this went a long way in shaping my worldview. It also shows me how impactful a small group of motivated individuals can be.

Engineering Connection
Engineers often use the natural world as inspiration for design. Biologically inspired designs include air- and sea-going vessels, navigation tools such as sonar and radar, medical imaging devices, biomedical technologies like prosthetics, and water and pollution treatment processes. Biomimicry has resulted in many creative products, such as a materials inspired by the slick leaves of the lotus plant and its natural capacity to wash away dirt particles with every rainfall, and the Velcro hook-and-loop system inspired by the prickly plant burrs that stick to our clothes.
So in your own words what does "biomimicry" mean?
Let's break down the word
"Bio" means life and "mimicry" means to imitate.
So, biomimicry means to imitate life or nature.
Who has heard the expression, "Nature knows best"? Well, biomimicry is a way of learning from nature. It is a way to observe nature in action and use that knowledge to inspire new ideas. Engineers often use these ideas to develop cool new products or better ways to do things to help people. Today we are going to learn all about biomimicry and how engineers look at the amazing characteristics of animals and plants to create new or improved product designs.
Can anyone think of an example of biomimicry that was not in the video or what we have talked about so far?
Who created most of these products?
Well, engineers, of course! Engineers have also used biomimicry of animals to design things like prosthetics, agriculture methods, navigation tools, and even running shoes. Darcy Winslow, the general manager of environmental business opportunities at Nike, Inc. said, "The extent to which the natural world can provide technological solutions for the types of product performance characteristics we must provide are virtually unlimited. Biomimicry still requires exploration, innovation and creativity, but by thinking like or working with a biologist we must learn to ask a different set of questions and look to nature for inspiration and learning opportunities."

Which one surprised you the most!!!
Circle It
Nature's seven "rules" (below, source: http://www.interfacesustainability.com/mimicry.html ); following them might lead to ways we could engineer a more sustainable way of life for humans.
Biomimicry can be used as a model for engineering designs that are useful to solve human problems. With the concerns for the environment, biomimicry may offer suggestions of how industrial designs can be more sustainable and appropriate for different climates and cultures.

Day 3
Isometric Drawing
Who is great at Drawing?
Who Believes that you can become better at sketching?
Is it because you think there is just natural drawers and you are not or have you just not learned YET?
Engineering Design Skills
Where in this simple design process below will you need some drawing and sketching skills?
How to draw a perfect circle - freehand!
TRY ANOTHER IMPORTANT SHAPE
This is pure magic, who has never been able to draw a perfect circle?
Now let's try a simple Isometric drawing
Important Engineering Skill
Isometric drawings are commonly used in technical drawing to show an item in 3D on a 2D page. Isometric drawings, sometimes called isometric projections, are a good way of showing measurements and how components fit together.
Isometric Drawing Tutorial: Complex Shapes and Holes
Task 1: Select a figure and attempt to do an isometric drawing.
Task 2: Using our Sketching skills, attempt to sketch it freehand (isometric paper)
Scale Drawings
You will need to know how to scale your drawings in class and in life. Take this short pre-assessment: Link

Summative Assessment
ON a blank sheet of paper draw the object to ⅓ scale, you will use centimeters on a ruler. Label all measurements

Day 4
Creativity - Red Brick Challenge
What happens to your genius levels of creativity as you get older?
Examine each of the recommendations on how to improve Creativity
Have a leader in your group prepared to share a 30 second overview of how to be more creative!!!
Unfocused time
Focus on Challenges
Variety and New Experiences
Personal Creative Projects
Creativity Training
Mind Mapping
Strategy
(Brainstorming)
What is a Mind Map?
What’s a Red Brick?
Your challenge today is a simple one. I need you to generate ideas for how we can use red bricks. Let’s pretend I have a friend whose red-brick-making factory has made too many red bricks, and she needs some new markets for her oversupply.
Your challenge is to generate some new application ideas for my friend to think about. Let’s begin to list our raw ideas now!” Best Group Will Get Surprise During Tomorrow's Class
Structural Thinking
Structural thinking is not how you can use something but what are the characteristics of a product. This will be a KEY SKILL you will need to have success in Engineering, Design, & Applications.
I listed 3, you list 7 more characteristics:
Structural Thinking Examples
Share what you have?
Characteristic Evaluation
After this “characteristics evaluation”, we can develop a series of application suggestions for each characteristic- resulting in a broad and deep matrix of applications.
Example, let's look at one characteristic - “The Ability To Stack”. Based upon that one characteristic, NOW list 10 applications for red bricks when you can stack them.
characteristic Evaluation
Characteristic Evaluation
Some of these applications you may instantly recognize, and some may seem quite unusual. The point is that the characteristics-evaluation orders thinking so that new idea generation can be focused deep along one line of reasoning—“ability to stack the bricks.” This kind of idea generation can be duplicated for each identified characteristic
and will result in many more ideas generated by you—a broad and deep compilation of ideas.
YOUR TURN (60 Second Elevator Pitch)
You and your team will present a 60 second elevator pitch on your top 10 unique ideas how you believe Red Bricks can be used in the Frederick Area; ELEVATOR SPEECH OUTLINE Below
These 8 speech topics will help to write a carefully planned and prepared presentation that grabs attention and says a lot in a few words.

Day 5
Standards of Workmanship
A comprehensive approach to reinforce the classroom ethics, self-command, and safety aspects of Engineering, Design, and Applications
What rule is the MOST Important:
Standards of Workmanship Poster
Working in the lab is a fun and dynamic business. But it’s too easy to forget a lab workmanship standard and create a dangerous situation! Therefore, it’s important that we have constant reminders of the Lab Safety Rules that we have discussed.
For this assignment, you will be creating a one-page poster (digital or hand drawn) to highlight one of the standards from the Contract. You could choose to create a split-page “Do” and “Don’t Do” with pictures of someone being safe versus unsafe, or you could draw what could happen if someone were being unsafe. It’s up to you! You have creative freedom with how you choose to showcase your rule, as long as it’s visual and obvious!
Remember that diagrams in Engineering should always be labeled. Please label any lab equipment that appears on your poster.
On the back of your poster, you will need to write out your answers to the following questions. Please write in complete sentences:
