In today class, we went over the engineering economics. -We draw a cash flow diagram. Then we calculate it based on the formula given : P: principal i: interest rate n: time in year - We next calculated the simple and compound interest then graphed it in the same graph. -Here are some exercises to practice calculating the amount that one needs to pay out montly - Also calculated the amount of principal from initial to come up with the future fund needed. Here is the other way around which is calculating the amount of future fund based on given principal and interest rate and time in year and also month. - Got one more practice using excel to calculate how much time it take to pay off credit debt when pay $50 and $100 a month. - Lastly, we testes our bridges and recorded the amount off Force that our bridges can handle before breaking. Also to see who builds the best bridge
Wednesday 10/18/2017 - In today class, we learned about the Robot. Basically, we learned how to assemble, and run a robot. - First thing we did in class and it took us almost entire class to do was assembling the robot which detailed directions. - Our group were the only group that could not finish a completely robot in that day because of some obstacles. - While other groups were able to get the robot finished, and run smoothly, we were struggling with assembling it. It may be because of our first time doing thing like this. Other teams also had chance to compete with each other to get extra credit for our grade. - This activity was really awesome, it gave us a taste with different part of engineering. It was also super challenge. It required us to be patient, and paid attention to detail while assembling parts of the robot. - The other problems that caused us fell back behind other groups was missing some tools, parts of the robot. The other problem was coming from our team m...
