  1. Pre-Ignition and Detonation Instructional Animation Created By: Nikolas Fernald

  2. Destination Future • 1st job working in product development • Professional Experience • Drafted for countless hours using AutoCAD • 2nd year CAD classes planned • Class canceled • Preparatory class for upcoming project!

  3. EETC • Equipment Engine Training Council • Over sees • Trade School’s • High school small engine programs • Father visiting many schools • Need developing for an explanation

  4. Essential Question An animation to end confusion led to essential question! “How can I create a simple visual to demonstrate engine failure?”

  5. The Idea! • Need developed essential question • Evident confusion between Pre-Ignition & Detonation Failures • A better explanation needed • Project to create useful explanation

  6. My Product • Simple walkthrough • 4 minutes, .avi file • 3D animations, Digital Picture & descriptive text

  7. What I Wanted • Chose animation for many reasons: • Teach myself Solidworks • Create an impressive product • Something that Mattered • Learn about the engineering field

  8. Focused Program of Study Connection • Industrial Engineering Systems Use of Solidworks • Parametric Modeling technology • Virtually built 3D part • Engineering tool • Data used to manufacture actual part • Assembly can be animated with proper restraints.

  9. Will something go my way so I can start? • Solidworks Animator issues • Stress beginning to form • Jim Pfaltzgraff saved me! • Time management issues • Class first 2 weeks • Decided to leave for work VERY early

  10. Planning • As project developed: • Couldn’t fall behind! • Plan of Action • Calendar • Set up Goals • Work hard, have fun, learn everything I could! • Create something very Comprehensive • No book contained all information • Looks Professional

  11. Status Reports • Weekly reports & journal entries • Forced planning and work documentation • Helped visualize week ahead • Planning leading to Decisions • Project Layout, reading text, ect. • Many miniscule decisions

  12. Status Reports (continued) • Communicated with Advisor • Questions of concerns & needs • Showed Growth! • Cold calling • Determination • 4:45 mornings • 160+ hours of work

  13. Finished Product “How can I create a simple visual to demonstrate engine failure?” • Animated 3D digital model • Showing working and failing cycles • Many sources utilized throughout project

  14. My Experts! • Jim Pfaltzgraff • Solidworks consultant • Frank Sierra • Macromedia Flash consultant • Rod Harms • Small engine expert • John Dorrance • Project management consultant • Pete Fernald • Industry expert

  15. Integrating 12 Years of School • Animations legacy will take time Physics, Chemistry, & Shop • Workings of an engine • Math & AutoCAD • Drafting skills • Speech & others • Communications Skills • Communicating with engineers: • Use their own language • Difficult to explain problems to

  16. Community Consultant John Dorrance PE • Resident of Cincinnati, Ohio • Works at home • 1 week per month works in Portland • Worked on Project management • For his sake and mine • Focused work tasks • Trusted John to get me though • Couldn’t thank him enough!

  17. Community Project • Hopefully will end misconceptions • Accomplishments work toward career goals • My longest and most comprehensive project • Prepared me for the future

  18. Work Ethic • 160+ Hours of work!!! • Luckily, no disaster situations! • Calm & Cool personality • Struggled with names of parts • Turned into a new hobby

  19. What I’ve Learned • Strengths: • Great work ethic • Very precise • Paperwork… • Grew though dislike • Understood value • Video editing / producing • HARD! • Wouldn't be a good career choice

  20. My Future! • Senior Year Ahead! • Plan to Study Aerospace Engineering • Possible Schools: • University of Texas • University of Missouri, Rolla • Future Employer: • NASA! • Lockheed Martin Skunk Works division
