My favorite part was doing the math. I really enjoyed it, it was very fun and the math was easy. It did get stressful but I think it was fun. This project helped me understand what engineering work can be like. I've always thought it was very interesting because almost everything is created with engineering. also enjoyed learning about the water from the bay how it gets here to our homes.

If I got to redo this again I would make better usage of my time management and check for small errors in the wording of my sentences and writing. I would definitely try to make the drawings better in quality. Overall this project was something challenging and interesting. ]]> 2021-05-13 06:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520321977 tawanaguillaume https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520324444 Yes it 100% did help me with a better understanding of what the design process [engineers] go through, it requires a lot of creativity... you want to try to put as much detail as possible to make the others satisfied about your design creation.]]> 2021-05-13 06:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520324444 tawanaguillaume https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520328397 The best part of this project was generating concepts to find possible solutions/outcomes. All and all, this project helped understand the precise calculations you must use in engineering to properly execute a project without any complications.

I was terrified of failing because it was something I'd never done before. However, the project as a whole was successful. Learning about water treatment plants was perhaps my favorite aspect of the water unit. I had no information about it before so it was eye opening to see how they actually clean the water here in the bay area.]]> 2021-05-13 06:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520331080 tawanaguillaume https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520335344 At the end my concept sketch became my technical drawing, but I didn’t need to do another concept sketch since I had blown Ms.G’s mind with my backup water filtration system and she said that I didn't need to do it, yeah.]]> 2021-05-13 07:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520335344 tawanaguillaume https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520339521 This project required a lot of thinking which is why I enjoyed it. When I got something done I felt even better because some parts would be harder for me, so I would learn from my mistakes and go back and fix them. My favorite part has to be calculating the tank volumes because I actually understood it and math could be fun if you know what you’re doing. I feel like I did put my effort into this project so I wouldn’t do anything differently.]]> 2021-05-13 07:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520339521 tawanaguillaume https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520342387 I did enjoy this project because it was fun learning about how the water system of cleaning water works. My favorite part is drawing my personal water treatment system. I wouldn't do anything differently because I feel like I did good and I ask for help when I needed it.]]> 2021-05-13 07:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520342387 tawanaguillaume https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520344496 Making this design was interesting because you try to fit something in the real life where you live like connect it.It’s fun because you imagine it and see what to have and not have.This project was easy to understand with all the process on how water will go from pond water into fresh water using filtration and etc.Math was the most helpful in my design because I was able to find the volume of the tank I needed and how much hours it would take to have purified water.]]> 2021-05-13 07:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520344496 tawanaguillaume https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520346914 This project helped me to understand more about the infrastructures of how the water is treated step by step and how long it takes to have clean water for a complete city and how the water arrives to the  place of decontamination. ]]> 2021-05-13 07:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tawanaguillaume/75d921p202wmiv3/wish/1520346914
