Juan Martinez-June/11/2018 Day 1-PLTW Engineering Notebook

The Early thoughts of engineering for now is sketching and trying to build ideas on a subject.  Brainstorming is needed for engineering we can brainstorm by blurting out or using different kinds of maps or maybe post-it notes.  If stuck we use other types of brainstorming or maybe other ideas and maybe sketches.

1.3 Concept Sketching

1. Proportion allows you to understand that a certain object may be the same exact size or maybe a little times bigger or smaller.

2. Realistic sketches allow you to have great description of an item allowing it to be built by yourself or others fairly easier.

3.  Maybe a sketch of a rover. The sketch of a rover provides lots of info stating maybe a camera or claws to pick up interesting items.  Which would have a great impact on other engineers and me as well.

4.  The most important thing to know is to draw it clear and add all the little details it may need in the future.

1.4 Product Improvement

1.  Some factors may be price and design factors like weight and maybe cleaning issues.  Those are only some factors maybe even shipping may be one.  Many factors come into hand when designing a product.

2. Its's important because maybe one idea from the brainstorming list was a solution to the problem that you had.  That's why you should write your ideas down in a notebook. The brainstorming might even inspire you to create something even better than the original in take

3.The purpose of sketching is to create new ideas and to have a visual representation of an idea that you have.

4.Some effective techniques was adding humor to the average coffee cup and some outrageous ideas as well.
