Engineering Design Loop Arrangement Project Blog

Summary

This week, I learned plenty of things. For example, I learned that there are 8 steps in the EDL and in the S&EP. The 8 different steps are Define the Problem, Research Problem, Develop Solutions, Best Solutions, Test Prototype, Redesign, and Communicate Results. Since Mrs. Garcia was out for a day, we didn't have any tech, so we watched a video and learned many things. For instance, I learned that there are some things/advances out there that are impossible but you can turn them possible. As you can see, this week, I learned plenty of things.

Backward Looking

I probably knew some things before this project. I knew some of the steps in the Science & Engineering Practice. So I knew some of this steps in this. Besides that, I didn't know much about this Engineering Design Loop. I found about these steps, because I used the website that Mrs. Garcia gave us. That website helped me understand more of the steps. As you can see, I probably did or didn't know some things before this project.

Inward Looking

I had some goals before doing this project. For instance, one of my goals was to watch and research about the topic. Then, once I got that done, my goal was to start on the arrangement and have a good design. Lastly, my goal was to finish the arrangement and to start on this project blog. Near the end, I felt good, because I had goals and I completed the goals. If you don't have goals, sometimes you won't get things done.

Outward Looking

Different people have different opinions. I think when people look at my arrangement, I think they will see me as a simple person. I don't have all these colors, and all these weird and good designs. I like to be simple, not basic, because I want readers to not be confused and be able to read my work. Not all people may think this, but as I said, different people have different opinions. 

Forward Looking

At this point of time, I feel like my project is well created, but not perfect. I feel like could add some changed to this project. For example, for each step and each practice, I could add some bit more explanations and details. The reason, why I didn't put details, because I felt like I should tell step and the practice that goes with it. As you can see, I didn't really want to change anything at this point of time.

Electromechanical Systems Project Blog - 9/9/16

Project Blog : Victor Nguyen 7A Image Summary For this hat project, I have learned many things. For instance, I have learned the main thing about electromechanical engineer. That main thing, is that they design and build electronic circuits, for video games, amusement parks, airplane circuits, etc. To become that engineer, you can study at mainly any university, but you need at least a Bachelor's degree, with 4 years or more in college. Electromechanical engineers have to work up to 40 hours a week and they get paid up to $120,000. Some companies have electromechanical engineers, like Texas Instruments, Intel, etc. Backward - looking Before I got assigned this subject, I didn't know much about this topic. I probably knew what an engineer is, but not an electromechanical engineer. For example, I knew engineers design and build different things. In the name, 'Electromechanical Engineer' is electro, so I thought this engineer design and build things that have to

Sound Amplification Project Blog : Victor Nguyen 7A Image/Links: Our finished device Link to Manual:  https://docs.google.com/a/oakgrovesd.net/document/d/1ExTEDaXqIdBsOPZ7hHIS_zR0nLNrBYs_zjVFvatH8qc/edit?usp=sharing Summary At the beginning of the project, we assigned/chose our groups, which is me, Pierson, Abram, and Ben. Our task was to create a device that was portable and could amplify sound, in a room or party. In order to create a prototype, you need to have multiple ideas, just in case. We learned having many ideas was a good thing, because sometime you could be wrong and have more to come. Everything in the middle was the same, because we had to build a prototype. But after we tested, we learned that holes needed to covered up to prevent any loose sound from coming out.  Near the end, we had to make an ignite presentation. We learned that we had to do a maximum of 15 slides and have it advance every 15 seconds, which will be under 2 minutes. Instead, we made

Eco-House W4 - 2/3/17

Weekly Blog : Victor Nguyen 7A Design Process This week, with my group, I am on Communicate Final Design. I, with my group are finishing, and wrapping up our project. Summary This week, I would say we have done many things. This whole week, we continued to finish of model of the eco house, and started on finishing the project. For example, on Monday, we were not at school, no work was done. On Tuesday, we had Ben and Jewel finish the house. So they did. Me and Minh Anh worked on our individual real estate flyers. On Wednesday, since now that our whole team is here, we had more help. We didn't have much time, since it is Wednesday. We each did our own part, either on the flyers, starting on our video, or finishing the house. On Thursday, we were in Ms. McMillan's room, for 3 periods to learn about video editing from CreaTV. On Friday, we writing our blog. If we have enough time, we are continuing to work on our project. As you can see, we have done many things this wee
