Design Phase
Identify the Problem-I had to make a organizational tool that wold help keep a locker clean.Investigate the CHS lockers-The locker was 10" wide 17" tall and 11" deep
Brainstorm Solutions-Going top make a shelf type
Sketch Three Possible Solutions (include labels and important dimensions)
Identify Criteria and Constraints
Select an Approach (justify selection with specifics)

Prototype Phase
Craft your design in CAD:
-Use an assembly of parts.
---Create an Isometric view of your assembly.
---Create a multiview drawing.
-----Label your multiview drawing with dimensions.
Each student will do their own CAD work (You may collaborate in and outside of your team but the actual work must be your own).

Functional Analysis

The purpose of the product is to have a pen that works when you need it to work and can close so it won't get pen marks on stuff if you're not using it and so it won't dry up like the pens that need caps. The mechanical nature supports that because you are in control of when it's open or closed by pressing a button so it is convenient for you.

Reverse Engineering: Mechanical Product - Visual Analysis


This is a picture of the button you push at the bottom of the pen to start writing with it.



This is a picture of the tip of the pen that comes out when you push down on the button at the bottom of the pen.

Product Analysis:


Visual Analysis:


Some Visual Design Elements of this pen are that it's a black color, very smooth, it has a straight line shape, and has lines if you reflect it on light.


Some Visual Design Principles that the pen follows are balance because it can stand up and not move when placed flat on a surface and unity because the springs, the pen, and the case all work as one.

Glider Project

The finished glider
Designning the glider
Testing the glider
When we tested the glider we had the longest test fly and we also had the most hang time 4.8Sec. I dont think I would change it if we had a chance to do it again.
