What will be the impromptut design activity? (1 Viewer)

Do we have to write a review for a short clip? I remember something like that was told in the Lecture on Monday.

You'll be asked to get into teams of maybe 4-8 people and design and implement something using materials given(usually stuff you can buy at the supermarket like balloons and string.

Last year we had to design a "water delivery system" that can bring a cup of water down a wire to a target without spilling it. My team failed

My teams assignment was so cool.
The guy marked really harshly, he realised i was making crap up as i explained it to him. (lol)

Extract from what i said to him

"Our water delivery system has been ergonomically designed incorporating the various principles of Engineering, The Balloons provided a stablising mechanism through which the strucutre was maintained and secured.
The straws played a pivotal role in increasing the frictional forces thus keeping our cup stable"

Meh, he said i shouldve mentioned more on Drag

He also gave my group 70%

LOL, putting those HSC english bushitting skills to work. It won't work in engineering though, they want explanations to be simple(but no simpler) and concise, not overtly complex and fluffed up.

and we will need to produce a short/brief report on monday. sigh

 

[wuddie]

dudes, just relax. that little intro project is nothing more than a bonding session. the real thing is going to be much harder and that is where the marks will come from.

why is everyone worrying?

so...about this short report...how should we write it, ie. in wat format? and how long should it be?
