In the last class, we headed out to Maker Space to finish our fabrication (maker holder). Then we started checking in and using equipment to make our marker holder. Unfortunately, we could not finish it during the class time, so we had to come back to Maker Space in our own free time and finish our project.

In today class, we learned about communications skill, how to write a progress report in engineering field.

Later, we answered a question about a sample progress report looks appropriate or not, and why?
Here is the answer for it and also the reason why.

After that, we learned how to do things in excel and have some practice exercises:
3. The number that shows up is: 1750
4. It will add up every row 1: 0 1 2 3 4 5
5. Because there are 500 couple in 0 generation, and each couple will have 4 kids. That means the next generation will have: 2000
6. It will be 1000 50-year-olds because the 1000 25-year-olds will become 50 in next 25 years. To 75-year-olds will have 500 as 50-year-olds will turn 75-year-olds in next 25 years.
7. It will change the formula that suite for each cell as a pattern we did with previous cell.
8. There will be 7,168,000 people in 12th generation. There will be 19.3 billions people on 40th generation. It is somehow reasonable but people also die between 25-75 year olds in reality.
9. Population in generation 12: 227000 people and 19.3B people in generation 40.
The thing we did in class was to create a chart with labeling title for graph and each axis.

Last thing we did was to learn how to use formulas in Excel and create a graph.

In today class (Wednesday 11/01/2017) - We started by learning new code and set up for more challenges in today lass. - We did autonomous code so our robot can go entire circle without using the control - We had a little bit problem with coding because the computer stopped working accidentally. Luckily, with the help of Professor Mason and the member of Robotic team we could make it to the next round of competition. - Next challenge was to go around the field using control, and grab a cone. After that, we had to press a button to activate autonomous mode for the robot running to the designated position and drop the cone. - We did not do well at the beginning, but the last challenge where each team we combined all the code learned from the beginning of the class and download to the robot. We won in the last competition and became one of the winning teams. -This was so much fun building and learning things about robot. It definitely helped us understand more about this inte...

In today class, we learned about Engineering Ethics and answers some questions First, looking at 13 True/False questions and answer with reason why it is True or False? Second, we checked a specific case and give answer and reason as well Next, answered and gave reason for another case of Engineering Ethics.  Third, we did some new formulas and graphs with Excel  Here are some of them: -We used average, standard deviation formulas, and today,now formulas as well in this exercise. -In this exercise, we used if function to determine whether the valve is open or closed. - With this exercise, we created a graph from data table, then created another graph and changed the axis of it, so we can get both graphs in the same chart. Next thing we did was creating a graph and added a trend line to it, also edited some text in the equation of trend line. We did RMS deviation and Square the RMS deviation. Lastly, this exercise wanted...

In today class, we continued talking about the flow diagram - In this example, we drew a flow diagram for 2 alternative A and B to see which one has the higher cost - This model above did not represent true the reality, so we calculated Present/Annual/Future cost/worth to see which will give us the better "investment" between A and B -These were basically what we learned in today class, then we moved on the study guide for final exam, bridge rules.
