Iteration #1

JUSTIFICATION IN RED

ACHIEVEMENTS EARNED: 15

Idea Generation Achievements-

• Sketch of one possible solution


• Generate a list of achievements for build day


• Document a plan to ensure materials are brought in on block day

Build Achievements-

Material Size-

• Your material fits inside a printer paper box


• Your material fits inside a shoe box

Our design was small enough to fit inside the shoe box.

Material Weight-

• Your materials weigh less than 500 grams


• Your materials weigh less than 300 grams


• Your materials weigh less than 200 grams


• Your materials weigh less than 150 grams


• Your materials weigh less than 100 grams


• Your materials weigh less than 50 grams

Our design weighed 49 grams.

Drop Achievements-

Drop Accuracy-

• NONE

Our egg broke before we dropped it.

Egg Resilience-

• Your egg broke but the yolk remained intact


• Your egg cracked but the yolk remained inside and intact


• Your egg cracked but was still together

Our egg was only cracked.

Calculation Achievements-

• NONE

We didn't use any math with our design.

Other Achievements-

• Help set up the bulls eye

Fred and i set up the bulls eye on drop day.

The designs that seemed to work best for my class were the ones that were very simple, light, and had a lot of padding around the egg.

If i were to redesign my solutions, I would use less rubber bands and more cotton balls because the rubber bands put to much pressure on the egg.

TED pt I - Ideas worth Spreading?

1) The TED organization is about letting people speak about the ideas they have on different and important subjects.

2) The purpose of their website is to let people that were not invited to the TED convention can still learn about these new ideas through watching videos.

3) I believe the science , technology and design topics are the most important because all of those have an equal influence on you develop a product in engineering.

4) A: "Are We Born To Run" because it opens up alot of new design possibilities.

B: "Eythor Bender Demos Human Exoskeletons" because it shows the huge advances in technology and the possiblity for more.

5)

6) Theres not really a field to gety involved with, but something I can do to experience what McDougall is talking about is to read his book and try running bare foot for a while.

Reverse Engineering: Mechanicnal Product - Functional Analysis

1. What is the purpose or primary function of the object?
To read a game and project the visual and sound on the screen.

2. Make an educated guess as to how this product operates. Use simple machines’ terminology to explain the object’s sequential operation.
there is a light bulb to produce the visual, a speaker to produce the sound and a small computer chip to read the information on the games.

3. Identify the system inputs, intended product function, and outputs. Use power point to create a "black box" graphic like the toothbrush example discussed in class. Save the slide as a .jpg image and post it to answer this question.
AT TOP

4. What mechanical components are visible?
the only visible part is the screen where the light is being produced.

5. What is it about this device’s function that you cannot identify, because the mechanical components are hidden from plain view?
I can not identify how it makes a vibration because it is covered by the plastic shell.

op in: less is more

The New balance 890 is an elegant shoe for a many different reasons:

• It has a very light weight design that allows for less fabric to be use
• Its over all design is very sleek which gives it less wind resistence.
• The grip is very basic but very effective because it is put together in big pieces of the same grip rather that many small pieces of different grips

The New Balance design team used most of the 12 step process.

• They identified the problem
• they thought of new ideas for that problem
• they brainstormed designs
• came up with a model and tested it
• redesigned the model for better preformance
• finally the tested their final product and sumitted it to New Balance
