Reverse Engineering

To keep us on track our group contructed a Ghnatt chart.

Context:

Gantt Chart: A chart in which a series of horizontal lines shows the amount of work done or production completed in certain periods of time in relation to the amount planned for those periods.

Motherboard: The main printed circuit board in general-purpose computers and other expandable systems. It holds and allows communication between many of the crucial electronic components of a system, such as the central processing unit and memory, and provides connectors for other peripherals.

Speaker Driver: The piece of software that allows the speaker to communicate with peripherals connected to your device.

Bill of Materials: A list of the raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components, parts, and the quantities of each needed to manufacture an end product.

Functional Analysis: The function of the different parts, how they work together, and the underlying scientific principles behind their functioning.

Material Analysis:States the materials used and their properties.

Structural Analysis: How the different parts connected work together.

Reflection:

I had a lot of fun with this project. I think I showed strong collaborative skills and my critical thinking skills. I used my table-mates for help and advice, and overall we worked really well as a team. One issue I ran into was putting enough detail in the manufacturing analysis. I wasn't sure what I should include, but with the help of my teammates, I was able to make a detailed description of how the product and its elements are manufactured. I used a lot of critical thinking for this project. It took a lot of effort to redesign the product since it was already an efficient and functioning item.

I really think this project went well for me, but I do see areas of improvement in communication and creativity. Along the road, I found it difficult to know if I was on the right track. It was challenging to to research all the different aspects of the speaker and fully grasp their concepts and I do wish I would've asked for advice more. However, my teammates were very helpful when it came to explaining. I also think I could've been a little more creative with this project. I do think modifying the kind of box the speaker was in was creative, but I wish we could've had more time to brainstorm how to rewire and amplify the bass of the speaker. None the less, I am very very happy with this project and the friends I made along the way.
