Project Strategy • Producing an accurate and neatly drafted drawing of a wheel chair, by measuring, sketching, and using notes. Dividing the chair into portions in the beginning and agreeing to handle the parts individually, eventually coming together to assemble a final product.
Teamwork Strategy KEATON: “MOBILITY” Wheels, Casters, Brakes Assembly Sheet and Cover Page KEVIN “STABILTY” Frame, Geometry, Axel JAMES: “COMFORT” Seat, Back Rest, Foot Rest, Everything Else Power Point
TOOLS • Calipers • Combination Triangular Scale • Protractor
ENGGR Wheel Chair Project Connection • Measuring and Scaling an unknown object • Freehand Sketching and Drawing • AutoCAD Drafting • Note taking • Teamwork • Time Management • Leadership • Critical Thinking • Most Significant Aspect learned in this project….. • Team work and Time Management
SPAZZ-G Improvements • Height and Foot Rest Adjustment • More Comfortable Seating and Handle Bars • Easier to Use Brakes • Rotating/Collapsible Foot Rest
Workload Distribution • “Comfort” had it a lot easier compared to “Mobility”, and “Stability” • Cover Sheet was also easier compared to power point and assembly sheet
Drawing Strategy • If we were to do this project again we would keep the same strategy • Worked Well Together • Everyone was Productive • Improve Sketches, Better Time Management, Better Tools
Reflection • Our project went very well. Thought we did not have much time, we got into a very intricate level of detail and accuracy. We made sure to dimension confusing parts as accurately as possible and to draft the drawing in an easy to read matter.
