Group Problem Solving Principles:
Define the problem
Stay objective
Skills:
Brainstorming
Facilitation and mediation
Process improvement
Clarify what will be done with the priorities before using any of the above methods
Brainstorming Guidelines:
Identify a recorder and facilitator
A Process Improvement Model:
Aim (the aim of the process)
Reality (How do things actually happen)

The Engineering Design Process
Elements of Design: The Process
-Problem Identification
-Research Phase
-Requirements Specification
-Concept Generation
-Design Phase
What is the Problem?
-Collect info
-Interpret information
-Organize needs hierarchy
-Determine relative importance of needs
-Review outcomes and process
Concept Generation and Evaluation
Explore many solutions:
-Brainstorm
Select the best solution
-Based on needs and constraints
Creativity
-Development of new ideas
Innovation
-Bringing creative ideas to reality
Concept Generation
-Substitute
-Combine
-Adapt
-Modify
-Put to other use
-Eliminate
-Rearrange or reverse
Design Group (Team)
-Engineering projects require diverse skills
-This creates a need for group (team) work
-Select members based on skills
1. Technical
2. Problem-solving
3. Interpersonal
-Develop Decision making Guidelines
1. Decision by authority (leader)
2. Expert Member
3. Average member opinion
4. Majority
5. Consensus
Project Management
Define for each activity
1. Work to be done
2. Timeframe
3. Resouces Needed
4. Responsible Person(s)
5. Previous Dependent activities
6. Checkpoints/deliverables for monitoring progress

Sectional Drawing Test Review
Part Drawings:
-Detail drawings completely describing the part, mostly done orthographically, completely describing a single element. (Specifications)
Assembly Drawing:
-Displays functional relationships between the parts. (Production)
Section View:
-Used to clarify internal detail and to avoid dimensioning to hidden lines.
-They are established by referencing a cutting plane.
Cross-Hatch symbols
-Different materials require (are depicted by) different patterns.
Half Sections
-The result of cutting planes being opositioned on parts in such a manner that only half of the resulting view or projection is shown in section. (Symmetry)
Offset Sections
-Allow us to provide greater breadth of detail with fewer section views. All of the features are alligned with the cutting plane.
Line Types
-Object, Hidden, Center...
Radial Dimensions
-To indicate the size of fillets, rounds, and radii.

Monday May 10/10:
Worked on the orthographic/isometric assignment package, completed most of the work, more time required, will finish tomorrow.
Tuesday May 11/10:
Completed the orthographic/isometric package, resumed work on the problems.
Wednesday May 12/10:
Mr.D described the significance of a rhombus. Began the Orthographic Drawing problem [Control Bracket].
Thursday May 13/10:
Finished the front and top views of the Control Gasket problem. Will finish the front view and hidden lines and dimensions.

Orthographic Drawing Problem
This Orthographic Drawing Problem involved the use of the offset, copy and displacement functions as well as the use of hidden and dimension lines to indicate the details of the drawing.
