  1. YOUR ENGINEERING NOTEBOOK By Mr. Gary

  2. Keeping notes during class is a task that you have come to expect. • A record of your work helps you to explain to others what you were thinking when you solved a problem. • Must keep record of the steps taken while developing a solution, the processes used in creating the solution, and a record of solutions. Why?

  3. It is the one of the main ways you are GRADED in this class. Also…

  4. Your thoughts and ideas • Sketches and pictures documenting the design process • Work session activities • Research findings • New TERMS you have learned • Notes to help you remember things Types of information you will document

  5. Explain what you accomplished during the class period. This should include statements such as: I researched . . I wrote . . . I drew . . . I built . . . I tested . . . I found . . . • Important dates for concepts, calculations, test results, improvements, and project completion.

  6. Briefly explain the importance of any performed activities. • Taking class notes, defining vocabulary words, or answering questions at the end of a lesson.

  7. Guidelines for Use: • 1. The notebook must be bound. Pages cannot be added or removed without disrupting the binding. NO SPIRAL NOTEBOOKS – use COMPOSITION BOOKS • 2. No pages are to be removed from the notebook for any reason. • 3. Your notebook should NOT leave this classroom. • 4. When the notebook is full, begin a new one that picks up where the other ended. • 5. All figures and calculations should be clearly labeled and printed in INK

  8. 6. Entries start at the top of the page, working left-to-right and top-to-bottom. Do not leave open or unused space. Simply draw lines through blank or unused space as entries are made. • 7. Markers that can bleed through the paper are not to be used. (ink-pen entries are preferred) • 8. Permanently attach inserted items with tape or a glue stick. Loose items do not belong in the notebook. • 9. Clearly indicate the date before or above each new entry. • 10. Cross out mistakes with a single line. Initial and place the correction nearby. NEVER erase an entry.

  9. GOOD EXAMPLE

  10. GOOD EXAMPLE SKETCHES NOTES CALCULATIONS DESCRIPTIONS DATE NAME

  11. GOOD EXAMPLE LOOSE DRAWINGS TAPED INSIDE NOTEBOOK DIMENSIONS DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES THEY HAVE MADE

  12. GOOD EXAMPLE LOOSE DRAWINGS TAPED INSIDE NOTEBOOK MATH SHOWN CHANGES NOT ERASED, BUT CROSSED THROUGH AND INITIALED

  13. WHY IS THIS NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE?

  14. WHY IS THIS NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE?

  15. Loose leaf paper used • The page number is not identified in ink. • There were several class days between 9/22 and 10/11 that are not represented by notebook entries. • There were no sketches or drawings to support the idea that the support bar, guide, or displacement arm was actually designed or being built. • The student offered no explanation as to functions of the support bar, wood guide, and displacement arm. • The entries do not show that the partners talked about their ideas or worked on their designs as a team. • Only fragments of ideas have been documented. There is no detail at all. • The student used inappropriate expletives in a formal document, and was openly disrespectful to his/her teammate. • 45 minutes of work cannot be accurately and completely summed up in one sentence.

  16. REVIEW OF MAIN POINTS: • Number each page at the TOP RIGHT CORNER • At the beginning of each day’s entry, be sure to put the DATE • Make entries in INK PEN, make sketches in PENCIL • NEVER ERASE mistakes – cross through them with a single line and make corrections, then add your initials • Any LOOSE items like sketches should be taped or glued into your notebook • Large sketches or full sheets should be FOLDED then attached to the notebook • Draw a LINE across the page at the end of each day’s entry • Don’t start a new page for each day, just add the new entry right below the LINE from the day before • Every day will have an entry
