Computer Networking Project!!!!!

Computer networking project

Design Problem/ Design Brief:

How to make two computers talk to each other?

I am going to design/install and make a computer networking project. What needs to be done in the install process is to hook up two computers with a Netgera. The object of the project is to make two computers talk to one another.
It will communicate two computers. The general properties of the materials needed are the computers and the Netgera.

Analysis

1. What materials are available? What materials will be the most suitable? What will be the overall size?
2. How long will the project take to manufacture?
3. What type of circuit is required?
4. What are the functions of the project?
5. What special features need to be built into the design?
6. What designs already exist? What do you think of them?
7. Where can I collect research material to help me design?
8. What equipment and machinery will I need to finish this project?
9. What special features need to be built into the designs?
10. How many different types of materials are required to do the Computer networking project”?

Synthesis

1. The materials that are available are the computers, the Netgera, and other computer parts. The materials that will be the most suitable for doing this type of project are the computers and the Netgera. The overall size is going to take up one table.

2. This type of project took a group of 5 people, and only three of the people did the work, and it took as about one class period; so about 55 minutes.

3. The type of circuit that is required are none. None circuits are required to complete the project.

4. The functions of the project are to make two computers have a discussion to each other.

5. The special features that need to be built into the design is the Netgera.

6. I think that these designs are every good in showing somewhat what this type of project is.

7. I can collect research materials from the web or from my schools library.

8. The equipment and machinery that I need to finish my project are probably going to be a Netgera and two working computers.

9. The special features that need to be built into the design is the Netgera.

10. The different types of materials that require me to do the Computer Networking Project are the two well working computers, cords, and a Netgera.

Research

Photographs –

Materials – two computers, cords, & the Netgera

CD-ROM/ Internet – you need to have internet on the computer to be able to do this project properly.

Safety – the safety that needs to be involved with the type of project would be to not let younger kids do this project it would not be the smartest thing to do.

Mass Production – if one person reads what needs to be down, one person does one computer, and the other person does the other computer.

Evaluation

1. What do you think of the overall design?
2. Did the project take too long to make?
3. Is the solution the right size?
4. Does it work?

1. I think that the overall design of the project “Computer Networking” is one of the best projects I have done so far.

2. The project took an average of 55 minutes so I think that I didn’t take too long to make.

3. The solution is the right size.

4. It works very well for this type of project.

Popsicle Stick Bridge

Popsicle Stick Bridge

The Design Problem
How are we going to build a bridge that is strong?

The Design Brief
I’m going to design and make a popsicle stick bridge. What you do is glue popsicles together until it makes a bridge. The bridge has to be strong enough to support as much weight as it can.

The safety problems that can occur is that the popsicle sticks can fling up at anytime and hit someone in the eye. The general size is supposed to be roughly about 55 cm. What it is suppose to do is support weight before it brakes. The general properties of the materials needed are the popsicle sticks, white glue, and a stand to hold it up when the weight goes down on it.
Analysis
Will the design be safe?
What will be needed to finish this project?
How long will it take to finish the design?
Does this design need to be done with other people?
What’s the strongest way to build the Popsicle stick bridge?
What design won’t last long hold the weight?
What is the best shape for the design?
Is my solution likely to solve the design problem?
Who is the design for?
What research needs to be collected?

Synthesis
The design might be safe. It all depends on if you want to make it safe.
What are needed to finish the project is popsicle sticks, a platform to hold the bridge, white glue, and a free space to test the design for strong ness.
It all depends on if you constantly work on it or if you just do it a little bit at a time.
You could do the design with other people; but in my option it is way easier to work on it all by yourself.
The strongest way to build the bridge would be to make the walls in a triangle or in an X. Therefore all the pressure will go either on the top or in the middle.
The design that would last long is probably going to be just to make the walls the same as the bottom and top; and not even trying to make it strong.
The best shape is probably going with the X shape or the triangle.
My solution might solve the design problem.
The design is for my teacher; it’s for a class assignment, and it is to see what group will build the strongest bridge.
The research that needs to be collected might be to see other people’s Popsicle stick bridges.

Research

Materials: Popsicle stick, weights, stand, & white glue

Safety: the general safety issues are going to be just be careful when you do the project.

Existing examples:

Environmental & Cultural aspects: i don't think that this tipe of project needs environmental and cultural aspects.

Colours/themes/image/etc: the image is to make it very strong to be able to support as much weight as possible.

Evaluation
1. What do you think of the overall design?
2. Are you happy with the materials you choose?
3. Did the project take to long to make?
4. Is the solution the right size/shape?
5. Does it work?

I think that the overall design is very good, and well creative.
I’m very happy with the materials I choose.
The project toke to long to make, because it toke us three days to finish it and other groups didn’t take that long.
The solution is the right size, in fact it is the perfect size and shape and length.
We don’t know if it works just yet. It will be at the end of the class rotation when we find out who’s bridge is the strongest.

Computer Hardward Project

10. The computer systems can always improve. Every year our computers get improved and
they work better than the last one before it!!

RESEARCH

Materials: the computer, the tower, the mouse, a keyboard, the graphics card, the internet, and a USB key

Photographs:

CD-ROM/Internet:
Computer machinery and equipment, including memory, cabling, power supply, peripheral devices, and circuit boards. Computer operation requires both hardware and software. Hardware design specifies a computer’s capability; software instructs the computer on what to do. The advent of microprocessors in the late 1970s led to much smaller hardware assemblies and accelerated the proliferation of computers. Today’s personal computers are as powerful as the early mainframes, while mainframes are now smaller and have vastly more computing power than the early models.

Mass Production:
The product I have researched was made on a production line because every one in my group worked together and one person did one thing and the other people did a different thing.

EVALUATION

The good points: the bad points:

working well in my group. we sometimes didn't get along

we finished the product. but it didn't work the first time

I am happy with the materials I choosed. There is really no adjustments needed to be made. My solution is safe as a computer needs to be. I don't think that it could be made safer, its a computer!! The finished product didn't work the first time because we didn't download the right software for the computer; but the second we did it the right way and it works perfectly fine. The solution is the right size and shape beucase all we did was put in the graphics card and downloaded th software we needed.

this is the collected exiting example of the type of product!!!

Pancakes in Class!!!

Today in class we're eating pancakes.  There starting to bake them and it smells so good in here.  There putting in chocolate chips and everything in pancakes.
