GANTT CHART MUST HAVES

Here is a list of dates you need to have in your GANTT Chant. 

Rough Draft - Design Proposal

I will be out starting Friday and will not return to school until Thursday the 20th.  I know - awesome!  While I am out, please take the research you have done and turn it into a Design Proposal.  For this rough draft, we will use the format from Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth.

Here is a link to some example proposals.  You should use them as a template and consider the headings they have.  If you have questions, find the answers (i.e. what exactly is a deliverable?).  They are due by next Thursday.

Reminder that working in a group of 2 or 3 is suggested, so consider shopping your ideas around to the group.

Final CAD Project DUE DATE

You will have 2 - six day cycles to work on your final CAD project.  The due date is October 5th.  Reminder you must have the following

2D sketch(es) with Dimensions

Rough 3D Model (made from paper/cardboard/etc)

3D CAD Model that could be 3D printed whole or in parts

CAD "Final" Rubric

Here is the CAD Modeling Rubric that I will use to assess your knowledge, skill, and creativity using Fusion360.  It is an adapted rubric first developed by Bryan Kroh or Daedalus, Inc. (an Engineering/Design firm that we have a City as Our Campus partnership).  The criteria established in the rubric are authentic through the lens of real-world designers and engineers.

Reminder of "what" you need to model for the Final - one of the following:

Something Rubber-band Powered

Karakuri Moving Model

Bottle-cap 2nd Life

Added Course Resources

Some of you would like to reference study guides or tutorials that reinforce the steps we have been covering to properly create our 3D models.  I have added some links to the Course Resources tab for you to use as needed.

Updated Technical Drawing of Homework Part

Notice the additions (height of 60 mm NOT 30 like the moron who made the changes shows in the above drawing, Radius of 28mm, extrusion height of 17, Rib distance of 31.5, extrusion distance of 56).  The changes to the placement of the Rib now makes this part more symmetrical.

Fusion 360 Tutorials

For some of you who may forget a tool or which button to hit.  There is a page above that leads to Fusion360's Youtube channel.

Lesson 2 - Canvas, Splines, and REVOLVE

Save this picture to your desktop!

We will focus on importing a canvas and utilizing splines


Also, pull up this picture

Here we will learn a new feature called, revolve

Last but not least.....parameters

Lesson 1 - Getting to Know Fusion 360

Getting to know Fusion 360.

We will be working on starting new projects, selecting folders, sharing documents, layout, and even getting into some basic 2D and 3D design.

Here is the first part we will try to make.

Here is the second part we will try to make.

Welcome....Under Construction

Welcome.  If you are taking Research Science, this blog will be helpful in communicating information about deadlines, rubrics, opportunities, etc.

If you are just passing by, hopefully you get inspired or learn something new.

Thanks.
