Unit 3.4 Design Problems - Control Systems

Objectives

• In this unit students explore energy more deeply and useful applications of it through electrical circuits, fluids, and kinematics. They begin the unit by exploring the relationships between circuit components, derive formulas, and apply their understanding to solve problems. Students then move into the world of fluids, the deep mathematical principles that govern them, and apply their knowledge to design their own fluid power system. They end the unit implementing their understanding of energy in motion through kinematics. Students also continue their career exploration journey by examining the financial aspects of attending a postsecondary institution.
