AutoCAD Project

AutoCAD Project

The Design Problem
The Goal: To understand othrographic projection and how that relates to creating drawing within AutoCAD as well as create some drawings including a car and an airplane.

The Design Brief
I’m going to design and make a car and an airplane on the AutoCAD.

Analysis
1. Will the design be safe?
2. What will be needed to finish this project?
3. How long will it take to finish the design?
4. Does this design need to be done with other people?
5. What’s the strongest way to build the AutoCAD project?
6. What type of circuit is required?
7. What is the best shape for the design?
8. Is my solution likely to solve the design problem?
9. Who is the design for?
10. What research needs to be collected?

Synthesis
1. The design is on the computer so it will be safe.
2. To finish the project the materials you need are the computer and the instructions.
3. It will take one class period to finish the design.
4. The design does not need to be done with other people.
5. There really is not a way you can make the AutoCAD project strong.
6. The type of circuit required is none there is no circuit required.
7. The follow the instructions.
8. Yes, my solution is likely to solve the design problem.
9. The design is for the teacher so I can get a grade on it.
10. The research that needs to be collected is to figure out how to use the AutoCAD.


Research

Materials:
- a computer
- the instructions
- a keyboard

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

Existing examples:


Photographs:

Colours/themes/image/etc: the image is to

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?


1. I think that the overal design is very good, and well designed.

2. I am happy with the materials I chosed.

3. The project only took one class period to make so I think that it didn't take long to make.

4. The solution i sthe right size and shape.

5. The design that I make doesn't really need to work because its a picture making programe.

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.
