  • Week ending September 5th

    Posted by David Dean on 9/3/2014
    By the end of this week all students will have a cad drawing titled "lumber yard" which will have building components of dimensional lumber and sheer panels to be used in the coming weeks as we assemble structural systems. More components will be added to this drawing as needed.
     
    All dimensional lumber will be drawn to scale ( actual dimensions) and will be 8 feet in length.
     
    2 x 4 = 1.5" x 3.5"
    2 x 6 = 1.5" x 5.5"
    2 x 8 = 1.5" x 7.25"
    2 x 10 = 1.5" x 9.25"
    2 x 12 = 1.5" x 11.25"
    ( all 8' long ) 
     
    Sheer panels ( plywood / osb / drywall )  
    1/2" x 4 x 8 plywood / osb / drywall
    5/8" x 4 x 8 plywood / osb / drywall
    3/4" x 4 x 8 plywood ( tonge and groove )

  • Edaleen Dairy Digester

    Posted by David Dean on 3/19/2014



    Sustainable Engineering students and the Welding Academy visited Edaleen Dairy. This dairy farm with 1600 cows collects all the manure. The waist includes significant methane which is 21 times more of a greenhouse gas than CO2. The end result of this is that the farm produces enough energy to supply 400 homes per year. This project is in "our backyard".  The cost of the project is $3.5M with a output of 750KW with a supply that is 24/7/365. Methane capture projects are being developed all over the world in various forms. Human waist, food scraps, coal mines are but some of the installations our students have been learning about.
