Project Blog - Chemical Engineering Hat Project

My hat - Chemical Engineering
Summary: In our project, we were told to design a hat, based on the chosen engineering career we were given. I was given Chemical Engineering, so I spent most of my time in classes researching the answers to questions. By answering these questions, I learned that the aptitudes needed to be a chemical engineer were being problem-solving, being creative, able to invent new things, can make discoveries, are good in chemistry, and can help others.

 Backward-Looking: 
  • How much did you know about the subject before we started?
I knew basically NOTHING about chemical engineering before I started, really the only thing I knew about it was that it had something to do with chemicals.
Inward-Looking: 
  • What did/do you find frustrating about it?
What I found frustrating about the hat project was how we had to have a RUBRIC for our sources. I also found gluing and taping my information to the hat pretty frustrating, because they wouldn't even stay on, and tape can hold stuff together if glue doesn't work... and the glue was the liquid one too.

Outward-Looking:
  • What grade would you give it? Why?
I would give this grade an A- because I did spend time on my hat, but the information is all over the place and not very organized. Also, it may be hard to read for others, as the paper could be wrinkled.

Forward-Looking:
  • What's one goal you would like to set for yourself for next time?
One goal I would like to set for myself next time is: manage my time more wisely.

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 Post - Asteroid Impact in "Alabraska"

Image
Summary:  During this week, I worked on a few worksheets for our Asteroid Impact which was in the imaginary state of Alabraska. When we did this, I calculated the general area for Alabraska, in which the length was 150 km and the width was 230 km, giving me a sum of 34,500 km 2 . After that, I compared the size of Alabraska to the size of the multiple caverns my group and I decided to establish underneath the surface of Alabraska. After that, I scaled my general map of Alabraska, including the military base, and then decided that our cavern was not large enough to house 10 million people. EDP - Generate Possible Solutions Over the course of the week, I generated possible solutions by completing a worksheet and making graphs to figure out how many people would be able to fit into our classroom. After that, I used the information to help me. I generated more possible solutions when I came up with different scenarios to help us decide on more areas in case our first...

Engineering Careers - Chemical Engineering Hat Project

Summary:  I am on Make and Test a Model (" detailed technical  drawings prototype or scale model mathematical and computer models performance and user tests "). During the week, I researched and found answers to the questions I had put down in my notes (See: ADV Engineering: Chemical Engineering ). When I had finished with my notes, I drew a sketch of what my hat would look like when I finished it.  Citation: ADV Engineering: Chemical Engineering   (Chemical Engineering Blog Post Notes) What Courses Do Chemical Engineers Have To Take   (What courses chemical engineering students have to take) CITE-It Rubric:  What courses chemical engineering students have to take:  What Courses Do Chemical Engineering Students Take? - CITE-IT  Rubric
