Weekly Blog (9|30|16) - Reverse Engineering

Image
Summary: During this week I learned about reverse engineering. I learned that reverse engineering was when you took something apart to look and identify its flaws. I also learned that reverse engineering was after you took it apart you ponder over how you could make it better. Step of the Engineering Design Process: I am currently on the Generate Possible Solutions (brainstorming-idea trigger method thumbnail sketching, creative thinking).

Engineering Project Blog - Engineering Design Process (Own Arrangement)

Image
Summary:  During this week, we were told to make our arrangement of the Engineering Design Process that would be used for the rest of the school year and for future projects in our Engineering class. I learned that the Engineering Design Process didn't have to be in a specific order.  Backward-Looking: What process did you go through to produce this piece?   The process that I had to go through in order to produce this piece was first to identify the steps of the EDP in a video. After that was completed, I had to determine the S&EP practices along with pieces of text (S&EP - Science & Engineering Practices). Once that was out of my way, I got started on my Engineering Design Process arrangement. Then, I finished, When I finished, I revised my arrangement then decided to move some things around, just so it would make more sense. After that, I put in the link to this blog for the picture. Inward-Looking: What was especially satisfying to yo...

Weekly Blog - EDL (Engineering Design Loop)

Summary: During this week, our class was assigned a project called the EDL (Engineering Design Loop). We were told to watch a video and then fill in a sheet that said we had to identify the different steps of the design process in the video, then put the time. I learned that not all the steps in the engineering design process had to be followed in that order and that they could be put in a different order. Design Process Step (What step am I on?): The step of the engineering design process that I am on is the "Background research".
