EOY Project W3 - 5/5/17

Design Process

This week, we on the prototype of scale model of the Make and Test a Model step, because we are not done building. 

Summary

This week, we did many things. For example, on Monday, we continued to build. We needed 25 grey chairs, so that is what we started on building. Jessica brought black and white clay, so we combined the two and made grey. The chairs was kinda simple to build, because we first made the legs, then built the seating cushions, and the then the back cushions of the chair. On Tuesday, we continued making the chairs. I, with the help of Frank made the tables. Our clients wanted clear tables, so we used water bottles to make it clear. We used cardboard as the legs of the the table. On Wednesday, we also continued doing the same thing, like continued, and finish making the chairs and table. On Thursday, we painted the base to make it green like grass, and make it black like the sidewallk and street. After the base was done drying, we glued the tables and chairs to the base. There were 5 tables and 25 chairs, 5 chairs at each table. On Friday, we are writing our blog. As you can see, we did many things this week.

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

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

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
