Where is the STEM in the Ten80 Student Racing Challenge: NASCAR STEM Initiative?

The 1:10 scale RC car arrives ready to run. Your challenge is to optimize performance through good setup and modifications (just like a real race team).

There are over 14 million ways to set up your team car.  Playing the technology lottery with trial and error will get you frustrated, faster.  Make a mathematical model of your car’s performance to narrow those 14 million down to a relative hand full of good options very quickly.  That is the essence of race engineering.

Teams seek to maximize performance and avoid disaster.  Through sound, data-driven decisions and practice, students learn to approach their car’s physical limits without exceeding them. Example activities include:

SCIENCE. Use Newton’s Laws of Motion and a skid pad test to calculate the coefficient of friction. Use that value to find top speed around a curve.  Science teachers can use supplemental lessons in their physical science and physics classrooms.

TECHNOLOGY. Students use a leading 3-D CAD program, SolidWorks, to design a more aerodynamic car body or improve chassis parts.  Spreadsheets are a must-have tool for most professionals and every student team.

ENGINEERING: When students apply math, science and technology to solve a problem, they are engineering a solution.  Using the new Mechanical Engineering Guide, students use 3D CAD to redesign and improve components of their cars.

MATH. Learning to make the tracks is an applied geometry lesson. To optimize any variable, teams build and use math models in the form of graphs and tables.  Math teachers can use supplemental lessons in their algebra – calculus classrooms

COST SAVINGS THROUGH DESKTOP VIRTUALIZATION

Turn one PC into Multiple Fully Functional Workstations with Sacrificing Performance!

SoftXpand is a software solution that turns any standard PC into up to eight independent workstations.

Each workstation operates totally independently and offers maximum performance and high flexibility. That means each user may run several heavy applications simultaneously, including, for example, a heavy graphic application, multimedia software, integrated learning systems and curriculum-oriented programs.

What is the difference in performance between a PC & a SoftXpand workstation?

Absolutely nothing! You will not notice that your SoftXpand workstation is not a standard computer!

Every application will work including:

• Internet & Email
• Microsoft Office
• Graphic Applications
• 3D Mechanical Design
• Classroom Management Software

Using CrossTec SchoolVue, an Instructor can broadcast their screen, multimedia files, or any student’s screen to other participants; record and playback screen sessions; monitor students as they work; restrict the use of applications and web sites; carry on bidirectional text or audio conversations and lectures; create, administer, monitor and automatically grade tests; remote control a student PC for one-on-one instruction and much more. More Info

• Send a Remote “Log in” to all Student PCs at the beginning of class.
• Blank Student Screens to gain attention.
• Lock the Student’s Mouse and Keyboard when instructing.
• Automatically re-connect to Students PCs on Reboot.
• Use layouts so the Teacher PC represents the layout of the physical classroom.
• Use individual Teacher profiles to deliver the features needed by each teacher.
• Give individual Students visual rewards to encourage effort or behavior.
• One Click “Request Assistance” option for Teacher needing Tech Support.

Printer Management

• Prevent Students printing in the classroom.
• Limit Printer usage by number of pages.
• Require Teacher authorization prior to printing.
• Prevent Printers being added, deleted or modified.
• Control access and usage for each individual Printer.
• Displays real-time Print indicator identifying which Student is Printing.

Device Management

• Prevent data being copied to or from USB storage devices.

The PT 7.7 study module allows students to investigate the operation of modern electronically controlled diesel engines used in heavy vehicles.

It includes a computer-linked panel trainer that simulates the operation of the engine management system for a heavy vehicle.

Computer-inserted faults allow the student to perform troubleshooting tasks on the panel trainer.

In addition to the panel trainer, the study module also includes a digital multimeter,interface cable and student laboratory manual.

When used in conjunction with a student personal computer (PC), the laboratory manual is fully compatible with the ClassAct computer managed learning system.

For each topic area, the laboratory manual provides background theory, practical activities, troubleshooting worksheets and student assessment questions.

Each chapter of the laboratory manual is designed around a list of performance objectives. These objectives are used by the ClassAct management system to generate a student competency report.

An instructor’s solutions book is available, providing solutions to all of the questions and practical activities

Typical topic areas include:

• Electronic Control Module
• Engine protection
• Engine exhaust emissions
• Engine management analog sensors
• Engine management digital sensors and switches

This comprehensive panel mounted system providers a fully operational 2-line Air Brake system as fitted to a heavy vehicle tractor and trailer unit.

It features quick fit connectors over the whole board. By limiting the spring actuators at full travel (200mm) and by using 8mm pipes we have slowed down system operation to allow students to observe the full operation of the various components.

All the components used are commonly available and are representative of typical system used on medium and heavy duty vehicles.

Topics that can be covered include:

Normal brake operation
Normal reservoir operation
Parking brake apply/release
Trailer connection and braking
Operation of trailer control valve
Tractor/trailer connection
Trailer park brake operation
Trailer disconnection and evacuation
