The class of today is the principal model of pneumatic system. It’s also the first section of the following four pneumatic system study. The main purpose of the class is to learn the basic knowledge of the pneumatic systems. In this section, one complex pneumatic was built. The model consists components of cylinders, pumps, the air valve, the air tank, and the manometer. With the help of the model they built, the students learned the design philosophy and working principles of the cylinder, the pump, the air valve, the air tank, and the manometer, which built a solid ground for the next following advanced pneumatic application models.
The STEM information behind this section is the pneumatic systems including the cylinder, tubes, and the air pressure measurement instruments. All the students followed the tutor instructions and finished the designed model experiments.
Reflection to the Principal Model of Pneumatic: Different with the last semester, the students were required to build the most complex model only. It gave the tutor more time to teach the basic concept and skills of pneumatic system, which is the main purpose of the class.
