In this project we were tasked with taking an object that we deconstructed and reconstruct it to make the object better. My group had a computer mouse which we actually thought was a very strong design to begin with, but we found some more covenient alternatives to make it better. We added a instant Bluetooth connection which would help with connecting the mouse to the computer which tends to be slightly difficult. We also added a vertical shape instead of a traditional horizontal shape which makes the the grip more efficient. Finally, we added extra side buttons to use because it uses all of your fingers in the most efficient way. We found a way to use the same materials as the original to make a better mouse that performs it's job in the best way possible.
Reflection:
This project I learned that if I use outside sources to help me learn, that I can make better work. I think before this project I was oblivious to how much information I could gain from just the simplest search on Google.
This project I think I did my part very well. I was tasked with doing the manufacturing analysis and I believe I did my best work, as I understood and explained every detail effectively.
I still need to improve on communicating with my group as I missed a day during the project and I could have had a better idea of what was happening during that day and what my team was thinking.
I struggled with staying on task for some time. I think after I finished my part I just slacked off until my team finished theirs which cost us time.
