Summary

Through this project, I learned again what reverse engineering is. Reverse engineering is taking apart an item to see what it is made of and how it works. After choosing our groups and choosing an item that has more than 7 parts, my group wrote a proposal. The JetJat Nano Drone and Drone Remote has 10 parts, altogether. The batteries send energy through the wires, that power energy to the motherboard, which sends to signal to the drone when you move the joysticks. The screws interacts with the parts, because it keeps everything together. Engineers go through many steps of the EDP, to make this item, and now I know how it works. After six weeks of learning about conflict, I used it in this project. As you can see, this is what I learned in the Reverse Engineering project.

Backward-Looking

Before this project, I already knew what reverse engineering was because I did a similar project last year in another class. Even if I hadn’t done this project last year, I would have known a bit about engineering since my parents were engineers. But after doing this project twice, I learned more about this project. I learned that I could improve my work and improve on working in a team. As you can see, I already knew about this project before we started.

Inward-Looking

Before and during this project, we had set some goals for ourselves. Our original goal was to see what the drone is made of. After learning that we had another components, we revised our goal to, we need to see what the drone is made of and to see what the drone could be used for. We stayed at those 2 goals, and didn’t really change it after. As you can see, we had some goals for this piece. We changed it and we met our goals.

Outward-Looking

We have met the standards for this project. For the manual, we met the standards by adding sketches, pictures, BoM, and descriptions. For the presentation, we met the standards by showing how it works, stating the novel uses of the item, and showing illustrations. As you can see, we have met all the standards for this project.

Forward-Looking

This piece tells something about myself. This piece shows me that I can use what I know about conflict to overcome it. Together we worked as a team to overcome conflict such as decision making. Also, together as a team, we worked to complete the project. As you can see, this piece shows that I know how to work in a team

Team Role

In this project, I feel like I was a Seeker. I feel like I was a Seeker, because I help the team with their research. I went onto the drone website and go the dimensions and cost dwon. I was Seeker, because I also help the team with their recording. I took pictures and wrote some of the manual. As you can see I feel like I was a Seeker, during this project.

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

Project Blog : Victor Nguyen 7A Image our build Summary For this project, we are working on our build portion of this End of the Year Project. We are to build our prototype. I learned many things in this project. My EOY group is me, Frank, and Jessica P. Our clients is Abram, Jennah, and Tiffany. We are to build their project, and they are to build our project. Our clients wanted to redesign the old garden area, right outside Ms Garcia's classroom. We wanted to redesign the cafeteria, and have more modernized furniture and color. I learned that we can connect our build to our mission statement, which is Revolutionizing a Space, Where Students can Hang Out and Feel Welcomed. If you we make our space more modernized, students might wanna go there. So as you can see, I learned many things doing this End of Year project.  Backward Looking Our work tells a story. It shows that we redesign this place. From a bland, boring place where not many students usually hang out and

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
