AI Thread Summary
Establishing a high school engineering club focused on mechanical and electrical engineering requires a well-structured curriculum. Recommended resources include "Digital Fundamentals" and "Make: Electronics," which provide hands-on projects for students. Utilizing DIY projects from MAKE Magazine can engage members with immediate, tangible results. Advanced projects, like building a mini Segway, may require teacher assistance for complex mechanics and controls. A practical approach will enhance learning and interest in engineering disciplines.

Hello.
I'm trying to make school engineering club, in high school, and I'm team leader.
We want to teach mechanical engineering&electrical engineering.
But I'm little confused because of setting curriculum of our club.
What books&What courses can be useful?
I'm thinking Digital Fundamentals/Electronics Fundamentals(floyd) and Make: Electronics, Arduino Cookbook will be helpful.
Any help that I receive will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Minseok

Welcome to the PF. I think using the MAKE Magazine DIY projects as the initial basis for your club is a great idea. It gives folks immediate tangible results, instead of just being another class to sit through.
 
When I was in high school, we had a digital electronics club and we used simple TTL components to make ripple counters, clocks, and other neat little electronic widgets like that. You could also go more advanced and make a small balancing inverted pendulum (like a mini Segway), but that would a bit of help from a teacher to get the mechanics and controls down.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
