Today we worked on an interactive presentation about what engineers do. We also split into groups of two to review a diagram of a car and label the individual parts. Then, in order to learn about sketching we did some practice conceptual sketches of the processes involved in making a bicycle move. Finally, we briefly reviewed some notebook setup information and reviewed some information for the Break it Apart! challenge.

Today we started by reviewing guidelines for the documentation of the work we will be doing in this class including our daily logs and recording ideas in a notebook. Then we covered the overall project outline including a brief overview of the different steps to the project which allowed us to familiarize ourselves more with the details of the project we will be working on over the semester. I then worked on my first website update covering some of my passions and interests and also including details of the extraterrestrial activity. There were no problems working on the website because I was able to use the same Weebly website that I have been familiar with for the past few years. Before our next class, I will need to work on finding a relatively simple object that can be taken apart and analyzed. Also, my current bounded journal is standard lined paper so I need to replace it with a graph paper bounded journal.

Today we covered an introduction to the class using an interactive slides presentation. I worked on the Wakelet activity to share more about myself and what I enjoy. We also had breakout room group discussions on what we believed engineers do and discussed various ideas from utilizing communication and collaboration skills to using technical skills to craft something new. Then I took notes on the course overview details recording the important information such as the goals of the class and what we will be able to learn through our projects. I also noted the details of having good work ethic and professionalism so I can ensure to demonstrate this throughout the semester. Before next class I will need to complete the class syllabus and get myself a bounded notebook. I had slight difficulty logging into the Wakelet but it was quickly resolved and there are no foreseeable problems coming soon.
