This week in MDET, we received some interesting gifts from Mr. Jordan: the infamous MDET socks! We delved deeper into datums and their applications, which we have been eager to understand better for quite some time. We have been reading blueprints and learning how to apply them effectively. It’s quite peaceful here without Ayden because he’s on work-based- learning, and we can focus on our projects. 

In this week in MDET,  we learned about section views. A section View is the remaining part of an object after a portion has been cut and removed. We also learned about the seven types of section views. We also did a whole bunch of parts and added the section views to the part. The reason why we use section views is to give more details about the part that you may not be able to see without cutting it.  

This week in MEDT wasn't as busy as it seems on paper, but it definitely wasn't unfulfilling for us students; we had two things that were part of our major week.

Starting on Monday, December ,2 we got to learn about section views, a view that is cut from an object and represents the cut portion that goes through the object. The way I put it, I call it the X-key of cut views ❀°。 We also got to do some sketches of our upcoming project; pinewood cars. So far the task was to sketch a design of our cars that would give them speed and that would be going in our "Design History Folder". On Friday, Dec ,6 our class, including the juniors, got to go on a field trip to the "CETA Design EXPO at the University of Hartford" that I forgot to take pictures of! ヾ(●⌒∇⌒●)ﾉ.

I cannot speak for everyone in my classroom but my personal opinion is that I think it was a very interesting experience! ｡･:*˚:✧｡ My favorite part was when we got to look around the lobby and see all the kinds of technology and inventions students from the university made, for example; my favorite was the mouse maze a student made to make a small robot that had a similar design to a mouse go through any maze and bumped into no walls. I would like to know what your favorite part of the trip was? ◕‿◕  ⋆｡˚

Mdet this week (for me atleast) was a bit short, on Monday I was sick and on Tuesday I couldn't make it to school. On Wednesday we learned about section views and how to properly implement them into drawings. On Thursday there was a 2 hour delay that quickly turned into a free snow day causing us to stay home. And finally, on Friday I got to hand in my permission slip so I could go on the field trip, we went to the University of Hartford to go look at and get ideas from inventions there, I made some of the people in my group come up with ideas before going on the tour and after looking at all the liminal spaces we went to eat at a buffet, and i’m pretty sure I got my money's worth. >B)M 

We started working on the pinewood derby car. We had to design a car on graph paper and later we have to create it on Solid works. We also learned about section views. So far we had to create drawings in full section, half and offset views. Then we went on a field trip to the University of Hartford to see the design expo then we went on a tour and ended with lunch then we went back to school. 

This week, I continued my work-based learning experience at Transer Enterprise, where I’ve been gaining hands-on experience in a professional setting. I've been staying busy with a variety of tasks, focusing on completing several projects and managing incoming orders.

• Sliding Top Desk Project: One of the key projects I’ve been working on is the sliding top desk. I’m in the process of assembling and perfecting this unique piece. This task has been a great opportunity to apply problem-solving skills, as I’ve had to navigate design details, material selection, and the technical assembly of the desk.

Overall, it's been a productive week filled with new learning opportunities. I'm continuing to develop my technical skills and strengthen my understanding of workplace dynamics, and I’m looking forward to tackling more projects in the weeks to come!

What Sophomores did in MDET this week was mainly work on drawings to improve our overall skills in the area. Drawings we have already done before in AutoCAD were reintroduced but now we did them in Solidworks. We also went over a little bit of the “20 Rules of Dimensioning”. This included types of dimensions like size and location. This was helpful to improve our drawings and make them more accurate. We also did a packet and that went over the proper title block and dimension basics. This helped remind us how to list and name drawings. We also started working on our OSHA certificates. We work on our OSHA certificates for the last hour of the day. Obtaining this OSHA certificate will help us be more certified and obtain opportunities like shadowing and jobs in the MDET industry better. This will allow us to gain more experience in the field and expand on our careers. 

This week in MDET we started getting our OSHA 10 certifications, went over the basics of dimensions, and learned about title blocks.  Getting an OSHA 10 certification means that you've completed a 10-hour OSHA course about safety in the workplace and also means that you are aware of common job-related hazards and how to be safe.  The basics of dimensions are that dimensions come in either location dimensions which tell you where to place a part, and size dimensions which tell you the length, width, height, and diameter of the parts.  Finally, title blocks are an area on a drawing that tells us most general information that isn't drawn.  For example, some information shown is the name of a company, drawing number, part name, and scale. 

This week in MDET Kanye, Efaz, and Jaden taught the freshman class while Mr. Jordan was away on an important business trip. They gave the freshman a presentation on architecture and showed them how to use home-styler to design they're dream house. Also, this week the football start of MDET Kanye Pitts got nominated as football offensive player of the week for the great game he had against Wilcox/kaynor tech. He put up and impressive stat line of 2 touchdowns including a 78-yard kick return touchdown. 

What we did this week in Mdet is we started working on solidworks and then went to open house and showed our trade and our academic classes and did different drawings and dimensions on Solidworks and we learned about what solidworks is and how to use it and how to do drawings on solidworks and add dimensions on drawings in solidworks  

This week in M.D.E.T. we started to learn how to use solid works, which is a designing platform that's like autocad (which we used last year) but it's 3 dimensional instead of 2d. Our assignments for the week focused on using solid works to make parts and the tutorial in the software. We also put those parts in a daring sheet with usually 3 views and a trimetric view inside the same software. After we finish making the drawing on solidworks we print them into pdfs and turn them into the assignment in google classroom.
