Mini-unit: Innovation in History How this fits into semester objectives: We focus strongly on people/human side, cause and effect, and leadership characteristics. Profiles in Engineering: Matching-Pre-test (do this without using your notes or powerpoint. Your teacher will check your work in 5 minutes) _____ Nolan Bushnell _____ Thomas Edison _____ Leonardo DaVinci ______ Isamgard Kingdom Brunel ______ Charles Proteus Steinmetz _____ Henry Ford _____ Dr. Robert Goddard ____ Wilbur and Orville Wright _____ Grace Murray Hopper ____ Joseph P. Strauss _____ Leo Szilazard A. Nuclear engineer B. Incandescent light bulb, universal stock printer, cylinder phonograph, started GE C. founded Atari and Chucky Cheese D. Rocket engineer E. Model T creator and improved work conditions F. Electric Car G. Movable bridges and flamethrowers H. Wind tunnel practice for first flight I. Reshaping art and technology in architecture. J. Coined phrase computer “bug” K. Suspension bridge “Golden Gate” Do this while reading the powerpoint: Check this site out. You can play ONE game of Pong before moving onto content. http://www.bafta.org/awards/video-games/play-pong-online,678,BA.html 1) In 1972, Nolan Bushnell is responsible for founding ________________ , the first video game system. You just played Pong. If you play other video games, you can thank Bushnell for laying the foundation. He sold the company in 1976 after making 28 million dollars. Bushnell had an engineering degree. A few years later, he founded Chucky Cheese. How are you going to associate Bushnell with Atari and Chucky Cheese so you can remember it on a quiz? 2) Thomas Edison is perhaps the greatest inventor ever. He had over 1,000 patents. He told others he “failed his way to success.” An extremely innovative person, he laid the groundwork for many technological advances we have today. Left home at age 15 to work as a telegrapher so it would make sense that he would invent the Universal Stock printer which automatically printed stock __________________. Created the _____________________ and received $10,000 in profits. If you like music, you can no doubt thank him for part of the spread of music. Most famous accomplishment-=incandescent ___________ ____________. 3) Leonardo Da Vinci is probably best known as an artist. Does the Mona Lisa ring a bell? (Her eyes follow you around the room). Well, Da Vinci used his creative mind for other things. Keep in mind, this was all done between 1452 and 1519. For one, he laid the groundwork for some of today’s military weaponry (SO….visualize the Mona Lisa popping her head up out of a tank with a flamethrower in her arms and it might create a striking image in your mind that may help you remember DaVinci’s inventions). In addition to tanks and flamethrowers, he helped advance the concept of helicopters, construct movable ____________, take water out of ____________, dig tunnels without making ________, and design ships and weapons for the sea. A real jack of all trades. 4) Isambard Kingdom Brunel went to college at 14, was an apprentice at 16, and a resident engineer by age 20. Extremely diverse and talented engineer (railways, bridges, etc) He’s credited with reshaping art and technology of ____________________________. Designed everything for the Great _________________________ ______________________ project. 5) Charles Proteus Steinmetz had over _______ electrical patents. His greatest accomplishment was in _____________________. If you live next to a power line, thank him, because he created a device to protect them from _______________ strikes. 
Steinmetz also did design work on electric cars (in the early 1900s). How are we going to remember this? “Proteus,” his middle name, sounds like a car name to me. Maybe that will work. 6) Henry Ford disliked life in Dearborn, Michigan so he moved to Detroit to work as an apprentice in a small engines shop. Moved home and opened his own shop and then worked on a design for a car at Detroit Edison Shop as he made his way to Chief Engineer.
Here is his quadricycle. A buggy and four ______________ tires. Also designed the Model ____. Advancements in society include the assembly line, the ____day workweek, and a franchise system. As we learned in Roaring Twenties unit, many felt Ford’s cars were the bee’s knees and allowed them to live a more mobile lifestyle (Sunday drives, dating at movie theaters, drive thru, vacations, etc) 7) Dr. Robert Goddard, the lone doctor on our list, used his advanced schooling to create the modern rocket. His unique method of lifting the rocket didn’t utilize ________ fuel but bi-fuel. Fuel and __________________ was mixed right before ignition. Designs similar to his were used in space vehicles, and to deliver warheads and satellites used in communication and _______________________. People didn’t probably fully realize Goddard’s innovation until the Space Race. Robert the Rocket Man.
To be successful in this class and in many careers, you’ll need to be innovative. We’ll practice innovation over the course of the semester. To be successful on the Moodle test, you’ll need to place people with concepts. We will look at the human side of events, and key concepts driven by historical leaders over the course of the semester in various units using various activities. Our end of semester culminating activity will revisit the human side with a focus on a Great Leader. Complete your practice POST quiz with me on paper before proceeding to Moodle on-line to take the official quiz.
