Puzzle Cube

Objective: Brainstoriming and sketch positive solutions to an existing design problem. Select an approach that meets or satifies the constraints given in a design brief. Create simple extruded solid computer aided design (CAD), models from dimensioned sketches.

In this assignment called Puzzle Cube, we first had to identify the problem from the design process. Then we brainstormed our ideas by sketching different combinations. The next step was to select an approach by picking five shapes to make a 3 by 3 cube. We had to make a model/Prototype out of wooden cubes that replicas the plastic cube used to make out five shapes. Our last step was to consider packaging by creating a box to package the cube as if someone was buying the cube.


Objective, and Constraints

Conclusion Questions, Packaging
In the picture to the left, it included the conclusion questions for the puzzle cube and the packaging

Applied Statistics

Objective : Students should be able to generate a data set of linear measurement, calculate the mean, mode, median, and range of a data set, create a histogram of recorded measurements showing class interval and frequency.

In Applied Statistics, we had to take all our cubes and found the precise measurement. After figuring out the measuremtns we had to find the mean, median, mode, and range of our cubes. We showed our work in our Engineer's notebook, which is picture below.

Sketching Techniques

In the unit Sketching Techniques, we learned about sketching objects in different views. We learned three different types of pictorials and they are, Isometric, Obliques, Multi View. The picture on the left is my engineers notebook which it shows objects that are drawn in multi view which is top, front and right. The middle picture is the Isometric, Oblique, and multi view pictorials. The picture on the right is perspective pictorials which show 1 point, 2 poit, and 3 point perspectives.
