Engineering 1 ktran

On Wednesday 10/11/2017 - We had the midterm at the beginning of the class. It took about 2 hours. - After finished the Exam, we had a guest speaker who talked about how to have a good resume, also couple of questions we usually get asked during interview for a job. - We learned a lots during this time, it was really helpful for me personally. It gave me all the details I need for my resume, for example: what I should and should not put on my resume. - There were also some questions that we supposed to have some questions before going to interview. Also some questions are illegal to be asked in interview. Here are some pictures of the "workshop" that we got from our guest speaker. Thank you our Professor Mason for inviting the guest speaker. It was a really helpful tip for us preparing for our good resume.

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...

Progress Report for Marker Holder   The first project of the Engineering 1 class was to design and fabricate a marker holder. I was given around 2 to 3 weeks to finish this project. The purpose of it was for students getting familiar with steps that an engineer would experience and be prepared for the future. The project is divided into very specific tasks from measuring object, drawing object in paper, drawing in Autodesk Fusion, and finally fabricate it at Maker Space of MtSAC. First, I started with using equipment for example caliper to measure radius of circles, length, height, and width of the marker holder. It required tolerance in each measurement in an acceptable range for our object. After finished collecting measurements, I used those to begin the second step of project which is drawing three different views: top, bottom, and side. This step took a little bit of time to familiar with learning how to look at object at different perspectives. Using Autodesk Fusion so...

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...

In today class, we studied about how to draw shapes by using Fusion 360 software. We started by counting the units of CSU,UC, and MtSAC, then we compared why MtSAC has higher units than CSU and UC. The above picture is how many units in major courses higher than UC and CSU. Then, the reasons why we have higher units than those two. We also went over in detail of how many classes we should take in different majors. The more units we take, the lower the GPA will be. Also, we was taught to know how many points each course have in order to track how good we are and the possibility to get into the school that we want. Next, we was taught on how to use drafting software, Fusion 360. It will be part of our project to make the marker holder. Finally, our homework for the day was to draw a complete look of our marker holder and do our own graduation plan. And here is my graduation plan that I have done. FALL 2017 WINTER17 SPRING18 SUMMER18 FALL19 ...
