Project Blog

Summary: Over the course of our EOY project, I helped my team with our build for the garden and begun our document for our interior furnishings. I also helped my team with our rough draft for our blueprint. 

 Backward-Looking: How much did you know about the subject before we started? I knew nothing about the project or rather, the subject of an urban village. I recognized the village part, but I didn't understand the "urban" part of the two words. 

 Inward-Looking: What does this piece tell you about yourself and how you learn? This piece tells me that I digest more through visual learning such as drawing out solutions or writing out problems. This piece also tells me that I don't need to make 3-D models to see the whole picture. 

 Outward-Looking: What grade would you give it and why? The grade that I would give this project is an A- because we worked very hard on it and although it deserves at least 10 points for style, it was rather unorganized and we started late because everyone in our group forgot our materials for two days and then we got started on the third day when all of us brought our materials. Another reason this project deserves an A- is because we started off with redesigning a part of the school and then suddenly switched over to designing an urban village (which is confusing, because if we're redesigning a part of our campus, why do we have to design an urban village?) so I was rather confused. I understand that "Phase 1" was about the campus, but if the whole project was titled "urban village" then why would we start with the campus? So since I was confused, I don't think I did an outstanding job with the project, but it was just a little less than outstanding so I think I did great.

 Forward-Looking: What would you change if you had a chance to do this piece over again? I would bring the materials on the first day so even if we forgot something, it would be fine because we'd still have something to work instead of doing other things.

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
