Journal: Week 8
Monday March 29/10:
Started designing the actual structure of the building, got the exterior walls complete, more work required, need a bit of help too with the actual shaping of the walls.
Tuesday March 30/10:
Reviewed the Korel website searching for house plans similar to those of my own bubble plan.
Found two possibilities but may require adjustments.

Engineering Design Process
Elements of the Design Process include:
Identifies requirements design must satisfy for success
Markjeting requirements:
customer needs
Engineering Requirements:
Applies to technical aspects
Performance requirements
Careers in Architecture:
Beginning Drafter: Entry level position to gain experience and skill
Experienced Drafter: Expected to make construction decisions based on initial designs
Positions are available with architects, engineers, and designers.
Designer: May work under an architect,and as a coordinator of many drafters
Architect: Must be licensed to practice
-Designs residential and commercial buildings
Engineer (Dreamers): Work is more technical and requires high leel of math and science.
Illustrator: Combines artistic and architectural skills to produce drawings
Model Maker
Building Inspector: Checks plans to ensure codes and laws have been followed.
- Problem identification
- Research Phase
- Requirements Specification
- Concept Generation
- Design Phase
- Prototyping Phase
- System Integration
- Maintenance Phase
What is the problem?
Collect information
Interpret information
Organize needs hierarchy
Determine relative importance of needs
Review outcomes and

Journal: Week 7
Monday March 22/10:
Looked through house designs, looked at blueprints, tomorrow looking more into how to build residential houses.
Tuesday March 23/10:
Reviewed the designs of houses, studied some floorplans, more work tomorrow.
Wednesday March 24/10:
Reviewed the Envisioner program, began my bubble plan of the home.
Thursday March 25/10:
Worked on the bubble diagram of the home, organized myself, still have yet to upload my animation of the roller coaster.
Friday March 26/10:
Began reviewing the home designs and possible aspects i would want to include in my design.

Journal: Week 6
Monday March 8/10:
Still working on the supports but I'll finish at home, just starting to support the initial inclination.
Tuesday March 9/10:
Wrote the test, hurrying to finish, stopped because i needed to work on the roller coaster.
Wednesday March 10/10:
Running into some trouble with the supports, taking longer than i thought.
Thursday March 11/10:
Stopped working on the supports, started animation of the first inclination, got through it pretty quickly, sideways loop is difficult.
Friday March 12/10:
Worked solely on the supports, got throught all the way till the first sideways loop, starting to be tricky.

Engineering/Drawing with CAD app.
Engineers: People who use technical means to design products, systems, devices, and structures to improve our living conditions.
Technical Drawings: A clear, precise language used in the design process for communicating. It is a graphical representation of objects and structures.
The Designing Process includes:
1. Problem Identification
2. Preliminary Ideas
3. Design Refinement
4. Analysis
5. Optimization
6. Documentation
Implementation: Servicing, Financing, Marketing, Producing, Planning, Documenting

Journal: Week 5
Monday March 1/10:
Took a note and did an activity on orthographic drawing, worked on the rollercoaster, its getting frustrating because i just cant adjust the angles of the incline, behind on the work...
Tuesday March 2/10:
The roller coaster is finally coming along, got more work done today than any other, fixed all the problems i've been having, ill work on it more at home, hopefully i'll get it done.
Wednesday March 3/10:
Today once again worked on the Roller coaster, and I completed a lot last night at home, today i finished a second loop, now i have to connect the tracks together and make it come around to the initial track start again.
Thursday March 4/10:
Took a note on engineering and drawing with the CAD app. not much time to work on the roller coaster but I'll work more at home.
Friday March 5/10:
FINALLY connected all the sections of the roller coaster, its not finished but i'm starting to put in the supports. Got lots of progress done today.
