Computer Hardward Project

The design problem is how we are going to do something like this. I am going to design/install and make a computer hardware. First you install the hardware piece you need. Then you put the computer back together. Then download the software into the computer. Then you are done.

QUESTIONS:
1. Will the design be safe?
2. What tools are available?
3. How long will the product take to manufacture?
4. What is the best shape for this solution?
5. What is the cost of the product?
6. What type of circuit is required?
7. What special features need to be built into the designs?
8. Who is going to buy the product?
9. What will the finished product do?
10. Could they be improved?

ANSWERS:
1. My design will be safe because I will test a model/prototype first.
2. I will need general tools and machinery to manufacture my design.
3. My design will take two class periods to make and only 10 minutes on a production line.
4. The solution will also include movement.
5. The cost would be between $10 - $20.
6. ???
7. The special features is the system are the graphics card, and the
8. People who want a computer will buy this product.
9. The finished product will do computer stuff that a computer does!!
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.
