Design Process

This week, with my group, I am almost done with the 'prototype or scale model' step of the "Make and Test a Model." 

Summary

This week, I would say we have done many things. This whole week, we continued to build and finish of model of the eco house. For example, on Monday, since half of group wasn't here, me and my other teammate, Minh Anh, had to make some furnishing. We could not glue down to our house, because the model was with our teammate. We should have finished by last Friday. But, since some of us didn't finish, we a bit extra time. On Tuesday, since the half of our team wasn't here, we had one of them, Ben, had his mom bring it in. So they did. Me and Minh Anh continued to make more furnishings, like the kitchen and dining room. On Wednesday, since now that our whole team is here, we had more help. Me and Ben worked on the first floor, while Minh Anh and Jewel worked on the second floor, which looks way better. On Thursday, I added some more furnishing in the playroom and the living room, like computers, fish tanks, couches, a toilet in the restroom, tables, and tvs.  On Friday, we writing our blog. If we have enough time, we are continuing to work on our house plan. As you can see, we have done many things this week.

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

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
