Day 4

Today, we talked about the importance of having connections in the engineering world. we broke into teams and discussed why Netflix was good at hiring (and firing) engineers. Afterwards we then went to the makers space and started our extrusion projects. I myself, after been given the tour and left class, came back and got a yellow clearance so i can use a wider variety of tools and equipment.

Day 3

We learned about what classes we had to take to get out of mt.sac. We then went and started on fusion 360, and made several different items, a box, bracket, and our project.

My Schedule for a week

Day 2

In our next class, we discussed about how much time we have in a week, and time management after seeing a schedule of one of group. After seeing an example of our professor's, Mr. Mason, schedule we all thought about our own. We then also talked about ways to budget time to succeed in school, as well as programs at mount sac to help us achieve as engineers. Afterwards we talked about how to create the three types of Orthographic views, front, top, and right, and drew several examples. We then talked about the proper way to set up a 3D form of drawing, an Isometric drawing, and then started to draw our examples. To end the class we discussed the start of our first project, a expo marker holder. we saw a previous make and found the dimensions of the object and wrote them down, with the goal to make drawings for it, to be returned next class.

New products!

My ideas for new ideas for the market are as follows

1. a handheld device, or app that has easy to follow rules for all major sports, allowing you to understand how to play, and what not to do. maybe some different versions for children and adults. Maybe it also has the ability to also record points. "EZ sports"?
2. an internet service that can help creative writing by giving allusions, symbols, and other such things to help writers be more able to create freely without having to go and search for the thing, or look at dictionaries or thesauruses. "Free write"/ "Create and write"
3. To improve home delivery, perhaps some sort of beacon that is registered to a modem, or a single location, and is available to services that you allow to find and with an app the deliverer has/ maybe a drone, can find apartments and homes with 3D directions. First to get to the location, then if in apartments can tell you what floor and door to go to to save time, or drones can fly directly to a door or window and deliver. "Quick Find"?
4. This idea is a electric watch that is powered by mechanical means, like older spring watches are sometimes powered by the movements of the swinging arm, using one for electrical watches makes use of batteries less, no need for solar either, it will work as long as you every now and then shake it, like you were walking. 
5. This last idea is to make a type of emergency sensor in cars or phones that will alert authorities of when you get into a car crash, when there is gunshots heard. It will sense when you are moving quickly like a car and when that abruptly changes, like a crash, it will ask if you need assistance, if no response is given then it will automatically say yes and alert people. For the gunshots it will ask permission for microphone access on phones and if it hears things like that, will again ask, with same response 

Some of these ideas can work now, and some need more research into it, but hopefully they can be actualized in the future. 

Day 1, beginnings

In class, we went over the start of creating and designing new products.
what i did was meet new class mates, and contributed to our design for the solar panel window car, and crank shaft electricity, and evaluate the other products made in class.
