This past week in lab we tested our final design.
Unfortunately, our design did not test as well as we had hoped. Seeing in that
I foreran the final design, I was incredibly disappointed and felt responsible
for the ill success of our group. Conceptually, I believed it was a solid
design, and also different aesthetically. Although it did remain aesthetically
different, its durability proved to be virtually non-existent when measuring in
ratio.
Despite the ultimate ill success, I still very much enjoyed
this course. I found it to be educational and collaborative in engineering
disciplines. This course was designed to include Documentation, Computer
Modeling and Software, Design Process and Physical Modeling, and Forensic and
Static Analysis. I believe that I learned a lot about each one of these topics
and methods. Documenting in particular, proved to be the most beneficial to the
project. It is very important to record the process of design so that one can
reflect upon their decisions and results at a later date. Also, this course helped me to see the full
picture of what it takes to have a successful design and the steps that need to
be taken to achieve the highest efficiency.
