I would like to see a short description at the top of the page for the assignment you were given. If there is an assignment document shared with you, feel free to post it on the page. You can also write a small personal reflection about how the project went, and what you might have learned or experienced.
In your Portfolio, Identify the following Items in Order as you Work through the engineering design process:Problem Statement, Background Research, Brainstormed Ideas, Detailed Design, Work Log, Reflection
It is important for each entry to be dated. I recommend using a simple (MM/DD/YY) at the end of each text block to show what date you did what work.
If you format the title of the sections as "Headings" and Include a "Table of Contents" on the page, it will allow readers to navigate to the different sections.
Describing the goal or purpose of the project. You should include a few of the main requirements, like what materials you might be limited to, and size limitations.
List websites, articles, or other instructional materials you use to learn more, or get ideas.
You're not expected to use a specific bibliographic format, just leave enough information you could get back to the source if necessary, or if the teacher would like to see it.
Start coming up with possible ideas for what to design, or create to solve the problem. You should have a minimum of 3 ideas sketched in your notebook, or in a Google Drawing. Those images should be placed here, using either a carousel, or images. There is no need to include EVERY detail, but your ideas should demonstrate that you are exploring different ways to approach the challenge.
Once you have decided which solution you want to build or create, this section should include drawings or CAD screenshots where you have created a plan for your solution.
There should be enough information and detail in this section where someone else can completely understand your plan and build your project for you.
Through the entire process, describe what you are accomplishing daily, what issues come up, next steps, or questions you need to ask.
As you are working through specific projects, keep the work log updated at least every 1.5 hours of work. There should be a minimum of 2-3 entries per school week.
It is important for each entry to be dated. I recommend using a simple (MM/DD/YY) at the end of each text block to show what date you did what work.
When the project is tested or presented to the intended audience, how does it work, what goes wrong, and what improvements/ adjustments can you make to the design?
