  1. Measuring with a Ruler!!! A super-important engineering skill!!

  2. Why Do We Measure? • So we can make stuff! • Clearly define aspects of engineered items • Conform to standards • Minimize confusion 1.8ish Build this!

  3. To make stuff, we need plans:

  4. Two Systems of Measurement: • Inches, Feet, Yards, Miles, Pounds, Etc. • Meters, Kilometers, centimeters, ounces,etc.
