Applied Statistics

Objective: The objective was to generate data set of linear measurement, calculate the mean, mode, median, and range of data set, and create a histogram of recorded measurements showing class interval frequency.

The Engineer's Notebook

The picture above shows a tool we used to measure the cubes which is called the dial caliper

Puzzle Cube

Objective: The objective was to brainstorm and sketch possible solutions to an existing design problem, select an approach that meets or satisfies the constraints given in a design brief, and create simple extravagant solid Computer Aided Design (CAD) models from dimensional sketches

Define the Problem

The teacher presented us with the design breif where the problem was stated.

Brainstorming

We sketched different combinations of 3-6 cubes on isometric paper.

Research and Generate Ideas

We were given plastic cubes to make more combinations.

Identify Criteria and Constraints

We given a list of constraints to assure that our product can be resourceful.

 

Select a Approach

We chose 5 peices from the solutions that interlock and makes a puzzle cube.

Develop a Design Proposal

Model or Prototype
We colored the cubes in different colors to show the different pieces we used. After we took Elmers Rubber Cement Glue and gued them together to show the 5 pieces we used to make a 3 by 3cm cube.

 

Refine

The product was colored and put together to become appealing.

Create or Make Solutions

We had to determine custom/mass production, and consider packaging. The picture shows the model of the packaging.

Marketing

I put my product together and the picture below shows the final product, the packaging is complete and the logo is shown on the yellow paper to the right.

Sketching Techniques

The first sketch oblique starts with a straight on view of one of the objects faces. It represents the objects width, and height but depth can be any size and drawn at any angle. You basically just are getting the thought down without thinking about depth. Isometric pictorials are equally measured. They share the same point and represent height, width, and depth. Perspective sketching is basically has one, two, and three point perspectives. One point perspective has one vanishing point, two point perspectives have two vanishing points, and three point perspectives have three vanishing points. Multi view drawings show two or more two- dimensional views of a three dimensional object.

History of Measurement

We had to do a WebQuest on the history of measurements. Then we had to develop a presentation. I decided to do a book jacket. So there is a front and a back book with answered questions and also facts. I had to discover how units came to be, the tools that were used, major contributors, and any blunders that occured.

This was the last 3 slides  of the powerpoint.

Project Evolution

Basically, we had to take a product and look at the evolution of it. Like I created a presenation of cellphones. They startyed from a bulky (0g) moblie phone then as years went by it changed and became more complex. Now we hsve a (4g) also know as the fourth genertion phone. It is high tech and complex.

This is the power point created.

Beverage Container



This project was basically to innovate a cup. We had to think of new ideas to improve a beverage cup. We had to consider the reasons of why someone would want to purchase our cup. So we came up with the ideas of making a mood cup. Basically, there's a censor on the cup and when you touch the cup it would change in to red, blue, or green specifiying how your mood is at that moment. You could be happy, sad, or angry.

This is the Engineer's notebook with the ideas.
