Design/Engineering Strength: One of my strengths is the building section of the process. I am especially good at building with wood.

Design/Engineering Weakness: One of my greatest weaknesses is designing in Rhino. I have a pretty hard time using the program.

A good project reflection is clear, thorough, includes pictures, discusses strengths and weaknesses, and can include a bit of humor as long as it does not lose sight of the point of the reflection. A part of the documentation process I will need to focus on is making sure to update my site page throughout the design and build process.

This is our first attempt at making a curcit board using Eagle and Batam. We were taked with creating a curcit board with 3 LEDs and 3 resistors. Above and to the left is our schematic and to the right is what the curcit board looks like. I learned how to use Eagle and Batam. With that I learned how to make curcit on my computer.

This is my breadboarded amplification circiut. It amplifys sound and I will eventually design a circiut board that will have all of these components and will amplify the sound for my speaker. During this mini project I learned how to better read schematics and how to transfer the information on to a breadboard.

These are my 10 first sketch ideas for speaker enclosure. Most of them are variations of a triangles (some of my first ideas) or rectangles (my latter ideas). I think I'm going to settle on a speaker enclosure with a rectangular shape and beveled corners.

This is my final speaker design. I chosse for it to look like this because it is very simple and asthetic. My main Idea for this design was simplicity and ease of use. The shape and size make portible, and the shape also makes so that it blends in and doesnt pop out. The ispireation for the design was asimple dox with some basic changes that make it unique. I foucused more on sound quality than design so this design makes it still look intresting but also has good sound quality.

This is my final milled circut board, and I will be using it in my final speaker.

This is my cardboard prototype. It represents what the final speaker enclosure will look like with crude materials. It shows the final size which is 10 in long by 4 in deep.

This is my final sodered board that I will use in my final design. It works smoothly and well. I learned that that there are many ways to fix a circut board. It was sometimes challenging when the bavking started pealign off.

This is the progress of my speaker enclosure. The holes for the speakers have now been cut and the edges beveled.

This is the progress of my speaker enclosure. It has five of the six sides glued together and the sixth side will be srewed of the back to allow access to the iner workings of the speaker.
