After completer chapitre 8, you try to solve these problems:

  1. Give three examples of engineered products that must be circular in shape and explain why. Any ball is not allowed as an answer!

  2. Give three examples of engineered products that must be triangular in shape and explain why.

  3. Give three examples of engineered products that must be rectangular in shape and explain why.

  4. Give three examples of engineered products that must be green in color.

  5. Give three examples of engineered products that must be black in color.

  6. Give three examples of engineered products that must be transparent.

  7. Given the following components and clues, determine what product(s) they describe.
    ● Diesel engine
    ● Pulley
    ● Heat from friction limits the engine power that can be used
    ● Most components are cast iron or steel
    ● Most manufacturers are in Europe, Asia, and Africa
    ● Applied pressure can be manually adjusted

    ● Auger
    ● Africa is one place this is commonly used
    ● Sieve
    ● Operates using shear forces

  8. Think of an innovative idea that you've had, perhaps for a new time-saving device or something that improve an existing producr. Write a brief description of application and your concept, and prepare several skethches that explain it.

  9.  Develop the concept for a new safety feature that can be incorporated in household ladders to prevent falling accidents. Write a brief description of your concept, and prepare several skethches that explain it.

  10. Explore a patent serach engine that is available on the Internet. By using a keyword search for a subject or an inventor's name, find a patent related to mechanical engineering that seems interesting to you. Prepare a one-page description of the patent's application area and its new technology. Explain how you found this patent's application area and its new technology. Explain how you found this patent, and why you think it is interesting. Submit the cover page of the patent and the text of the first claim. The write-up should be prepared on a word processor.
