Pre-TestHow would you distinguish between discrete
and continuous data?What is the difference between
domain/range for a function and domain/range for the problem situation?
University to Classroom Connection
Day 1: Introduction to Engineering
○ What is an Engineer?○ Who is an Engineer?○ What is a project?○ What is Engineering Design?
Remember when? TVs were in black & white Computers first came out
What could tomorrow bring?
Objectives for Today: Introduce you to what is meant by
“Engineering”More Specifically:
What is Engineering? Who are Engineers? What is a Project? Where do Projects
Originate? What’s the difference between “Good”
Engineering and, ah, er, well…you know?!’ What is the design process?

Remember when? Cell phones
Engineering Design then, is:“… the process of applying various techniques
and scientific principles for the purpose of defining a device, a process or a system in sufficient detail to permit its realization.
…Design may be simple or enormously complex, easy or difficult, mathematical or non-mathematical; it may involve a trivial problem or one of great importance.”
(From “Design of Machinery” by R.L.Norton, 2004)

Og Gas/Fluid Inventory Determination Accurate inventory determination is
challenging due to a few factors:Substance orientationSubstance propertiesMeasurement technique
Several RFPs have been granted to develop new technologies to provide better accuracy in 1g and 0g conditions
Gas Stations Today
“Gas Stations” Tomorrow
What’s The Goal? Develop a non-intrusive, reliable, simple
instrument to accurately determine the inventory levelUse ‘dumb’ sensorsUtilize simple physicsTake advantage of ‘random’ nature of fluid
Classroom Application Students will research prototype design

Classroom Application Introduction to Functions
Students will collect data by experimentation, analyze collected data and given data, interpret the scatterplots to make predictions, and fit the graph to the most reasonable parent function. Students will make predictions using representations of the data.
Classroom Application Relations and Functions
Students will collect data by experimentation and analyze the data to determine if it represents a function. Students will determine characteristics of the relationship and model the data using various representations. Students will interpret the representations to make predictions and fit the graph to the most reasonable parent function
Classroom Application Changing Parents
Students apply geometric transformations to relations. Students determine rules to predict effects on changing parameters on parent functions. Students determine graphs and equations from the predictions.
Classroom Application Linear programming
Students will be expected to formulate systems of equations and inequalities from this particular situation, use a variety of methods to solve, and then analyze the solution in terms of the situation.
TEKS 2A1. Foundation for functions. The student uses
properties and attributes of functions and applies functions to problem situations. The student is expected to1A: Identify the mathematical domains and
ranges of functions and determine reasonable domain and range values for continuous and discrete situations.
1B: Collect and organize data, make and interpret scatter plots, fit the graph of a function to the data, interpret the results, and proceed to model, predict, and make decisions and critical judgments.
TEKS 2A.3: Foundations for functions. The student
formulates systems of equations and inequalities from problem situations, uses a variety of methods to solve them, and analyzes the solutions in terms of the situations. The student is expected to3A: Analyze situations and formulate systems of
equations in two or more unknowns or inequalities in two unknowns to solve problems.
3B: Use algebraic methods, graphs, tables, or matrices, to solve systems of equations or inequalities.
3C: Interpret and determine the reasonableness of solutions to systems of equations or inequalities for given contexts.
TEKS 2A.4: Algebra and geometry. The student
connects algebraic and geometric representations of functions. The student is expected to:4A: Identify and sketch graphs of parent

4B: Extend parent functions with parameters and describe the effects of the parameter changes on the graph of parent functions.
TEKS 2A.7: Quadratic and square root functions. The
student interprets and describes the effects of changes in the parameters of quadratic functions in applied and mathematical situations. The student is expected to:7B: Use the parent function to investigate,
describe, and predict the effects of changes in a, h, and k on the graphs of form of a functions in applied and purely mathematical situations.
