How RMG relates to Physics: Observations from Educational Field Trip

We recently went on an excursion to a garment factory . The garmentfactory's name is AKH Eco apparels ltd . AKH has developed this ECO-friendly project: AKH ECO Apparels Ltd, on a 15-acre land in Dhamrai by the side of the Dhaka-Aricha highway, strictly adhering to the Gold Category requirements of Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED), which are officially prescribed by the US Green Building Council. The factory has all of the safeguards and features necessary to assure the safety, security, and a good working environment for those who work there. On over 500,000 square feet of floor area, approximately 6000 individuals operate in 52 lines and make approximately 1.3 million pieces of premium quality woven shirts, blouses, tops, and dresses each month.

We were given tasks for each subject based on our previous experience and what we learnt from our visit to the garment factory. Physics is important in textile technology. The study of the structure and physical properties of fibers, yarn, and fabrics forms a cohesive field known as textile physics. It is a crucial component of any textile technician's education. Various textile machinery, such as spinning machines, weaving machines, sewing machines, and so on, are utilized in the production of clothes.

For physics, we were instructed to identify a specific machine from any area of a garment industry and determine its current and power rating. Then we had to calculate the cost of electricity per unit that the manufacturer pays, followed by the cost of running the machine under normal conditions in kw-hr. We were also instructed to conduct interviews with factory workers regarding their travel to the factory. We must determine the time and distance that will be displayed in the velocity-time graph that we learned in physics class.

The 3C’s of Digital Society

The subject Digital Societies is a whole new experience for all the new IBDP students. We look into Global Societies, Technology Innovation, Multimedia, Political Stakes, etc. Digital Societies are divided into several categories and organized according to the terms. During our journey in Term 1, we looked into the hardware and software, evolution of computers, malwares, security, licenses and databases. The students had the opportunity to learn about the digital world, its evolution, and its impact on our societies. In term 2, we are currently working on the Social and Political use of Technology, such as Home and Leisure, IT in Health, Business and learning about the philosophy and arts behind Ergonomics. Digital Societies is categorized in 3 different core elements (Content, Concept and Context). Students can increase their thinking and communication skills through various discussions with their facilitator and peers. We investigate the impacts, laws and regulations, the pros ...

Upcoming Semester Finals: How to Prepare!

From the 27th of November 2022, there will be semester finals for IBDP in AusIS. This will be challenging for the students. This will be the first semester final in DP 1 so it will definitely be a new experience for the students of Year 11. This examination is not to be taken lightly, it is crucial for our university applications. Thankfully there are ways to increase our chances of scoring successfully. Revision: This is a pretty straightforward and obvious response, but it is the most effective. This exam will cover 3 months worth of information and there is no way anyone remembered all that. It should be a priority to go over the topics from each subject. Revision can be done in many different ways, the most effective approach instead of just reading old notes and cramming all that, take new notes. This time we won't have the rush of following the lecture and taking notes. This way we can take important notes and know what to focus on. Past Papers: As we were info...
