Topics for S4E D&T MYE 2010

Hi,

All topics that were taught last year will be examined.

The paper is a 2 hours paper. Part 1 comprises 40 marks mainly on design questions. Part 2 comprises 3 elective questions of 20 marks each on electronics, mechanisms and structures question.

For the design question, the following topics in the text are important

(1) ideation technique (SCAMPER, Shape Borrowing, Relay Thinking, etc)
(2) research
(3) Ergonomics and Anthropometry
(4) 3-D drawing (Isometric, Oblique, etc)
(5) 4 stages of design model (Situation, Ideation, Development & Realisation)
(6) Development of project and Evaluation
(7) Planning and Monitoring of Project

For the elective questions, the following topics are important

(1) Electronics
(a) parallel and series arrangment
(b) Resistors, LDR
(c) transistor and sensing circuit
(d) thyristor
(e) Electrolytic and non-electrolytic capacitor
(f) Switches (SPDT, DPDT, etc)

(2) Mechanism
(a) Open and Closed loop system and example
(b) Function of mechanism (To control the speed, to control the motion, etc)
(b) All types of mechanisms, its application and how each mechanism/mechanism-part works with its motion involved (rotary, reciprocating, oscillating and linear).

(3) Structures
(a) Different types of structure (frame/shell/natural/man made) and its functions (support, span, contain , protect).
(b) Different types of load (static and dynamic)
(c) Understand what is truss, cantilever, brace, etc and other structural terms and be able to identify them in practical usage
(d) Different types of forces
(e) Method of reinforcing
(f) Moment of turning
(g) Define the following: strain, elasticity, stress, etc

That's all....All topics can be found in textbook.

All the best and GOod LUck..............
