Upon arrival, the students were divided into smaller working groups so that they could visit all the individual seminars in turn. Each topic was assigned to one lecturer who presented it both theoretically and practically.
At the first station, the pupils learned about the history of electrical engineering, power generation and the energy industry. They tried wiring simple schematics and independently built a transformer, which they then tested in practice (e.g. in metal melting).
Another station was virtual modelling of products and machines on PC. In the introductory part, students were introduced to the basic capabilities of the Solid Edge CAD system. They then tried modelling simple parts themselves. Furthermore, the pupils learned basic information about the possibilities and use of 3D printing. The teacher showed them the procedure of processing models for printing, printer settings and printing itself. Each of the pupils took home a print sample from the school 3D printer (e.g. a simple model of a house, rocket, etc.).
Another topic of the Project Day was electricity. Through modern teaching panels, pupils were introduced to the basic knowledge of electricity and with the help of modules they tried to assemble different parts of the electricity system. Using software, they then simulated and measured various operating conditions.
The last stop was the PASCO measuring system. The students first got acquainted with the system, including the software for measuring with it. This was followed by the theory of gravitational acceleration and acceleration on an inclined plane. Next, the pupils attempted to estimate the value of the acceleration due to gravity using the PASCO trolley - based on measurements of the acceleration of the PASCO trolley on different inclined planes. Finally, they compared their own measured value with the actual value of the acceleration due to gravity.
