Final Project: Building a Circuit-
Date: Wednesday December 18th, 2013
Intro: Our teacher has told us to create a circuit board, using four different sounds. A woodpecker, siren, cat, and a motorcycle which you can pick any of these. But, I was given a kit to build my own circuit which was to make a radio. So we had almost three weeks into completing the project. It took me about 4 hours to completing. My radio didn't work, because I didn't solder my radio well enough to the board. But tried my best.
Feedback: I learned a lot on how engineers would have to build these circuits, especially in conditions of time constraints, but we had three weeks, but it was tough, in my opinion.
Picture Below: Shows a Schematic of my radio.

Rube Goldberg-
Date: Monday November 11th, 2013
Intro: A Rube Goldberg is a huge complex puzzle or design which can be built out of anything, but is complicated to solve. In our engineering class we had two weeks to complete a Rube Goldberg. Our tasks were you can pick your own groups up to four only. Use 5 out of 9 core technologies, the Rube Goldberg or video must take a minute long, the video must include all of us in it for evidence. Our objective was to pop a balloon. Well we almost met the expectations the teacher has given to us, but we all did our best.
Feedback: I never knew that these types of puzzles were named a Rube Goldberg, but this was one of my favorite and fun projects to do.
Video Below: Rube Goldberg of what we did.

The Obelisk-
Date: Monday November 4th, 2013
Intro: An obelisk is what Egyptians used to build which was a heavy granite piece of rock weighing over 20,000 pounds. Our group had to think about how to build it, and design the outline of it. I believe that it was a challenge for us to think about what to build, and a lack of time to meet up with our group members. We had to build it out of anything, but we would have to build it in a range between a foot to 4 ft tall.
Feedback: I learned about how Obelisk's are used in the Egyptian Land's. For building our group's obelisk was a challenge, but it was fun.

PBL Prototype 2-
Date: Monday October 7th, 2013
Intro: Are group has gone a bit further on our household chore project. We made it useful for those who want to clean up places in their houses that are out of reach. Like high-top drawers, high windows. So know it is the length of 7' (estimate). This would make are second prototype much more better than the first. Feedback: What I learned from this is that doing all of these projects, in very limited time helped us learned a lot, and it was fun learning from it.
Feedback: It was a good time learning about how people make their products.

PBL Prototype 1-
Date: Friday September 27th, 2013
Intro: Are group has decided to make a prototype useful for an household chore. It is a helpful tool used to help you can clean and dust places. "The Sponge N' Duster," is an innovative way to help you out clean up more easily.
Feedback: What I learned from this is that trying to find the solution to this problem was kind of complicating, but it was fun.

Game Board Design Project-
Date: Monday September 9th, 2013
Intro: In this project we are designing a board game in which we worked alone. We'll have to create this board game from what we have learned from our class about the History of Technology. Making a board game about the nine eras in history. I made a game with all the eras, trivia questions, and a great fun time to enjoy learning about the past.
Feedback: Learning from creating this helps me understand about the past.

Major Research-
Date: Friday August 23rd, 2013
Intro: My major that I really like to known the most is about civil engineering. These group of people help society by creating all of human needs. For example, skyscrapers, bridges, highways, houses, schools, stores, roadways, dams, and anything that is considered building. Civil Engineers need a bachelor's degree to start. Their average salary can be as low as $60,000, for most beginners but could go up to $200,000, sometimes as high as $400,000 a year.
Feedback: I learned about my favorite field in detail.
