Elements of the design process :
- Problem identification
- Research Phase
- Requirements specification
- Concept Generation
- Design Phase
- Prototyping Phase
- System Integration
- Maintenance Phase
What is the problem?
1. collect information
2. Interpret Information
3. Organize needs hiearchy
4. Determine relative importance of needs
5. Review outcomes and process
Requirements Specification
- Identifies requirements design must satisy for success
1. Marketing Requirements
- Customer needs
2. Engineering requirements
- Applies to technical aspects
- Performance requirements

Week 7
Monday
Today i learned about cadsoft envisioneer and that we must use this program to design our house project.
Tuesday
Today i started finding a plan for my house. I learned how to use the simple tools in envisioneer 4.5. I also thought about how i will design my house. I created a bubble diagram that outlines the layout of my house. I also created word document explaining why the rooms are located in their specific spots.
Wednesday
Today i started designign my house on envisioneer 4.5. I used exterior walls and interior walls to design the shape of the house with the appropriate lengths. I also started creating the interior walls of the master bedroom, which was my starting point on the house.
Thursday
Today i continued creating the interior walls of my house. I designed the ensuite, the two bedrooms, the extra washroom, the foyer, and the closets. I learned i could change the doors lengths and heights as well as the placement of the doors and walls by simply stretching and compressing the lengths and widths

Week 6
Monday
I Animated the roller coaster. I learned how to properly change the settings depending on how i want the animation to look used different calculations to determine how long it took the camera to get from one spot to another, which is one scene
Tuesday
I decided to restart the animation. After rendering the animation i found that the turns and drops werent smooth enough. I also realized that the drop was moving at the same speed as the rest of the roller coaster which made it look unrealistic. I made the time between one scene and another a less amount of time but made the distances shorter which equaled it out.
Wednesday
Today i started rendering the animation and changing the things in it that i didnt like. I tried painting the roller coaster but i realized that it looked better without to many vibrant colours.
Thursday
Today i added a base floor to it that was green to make it look like grass. I also made a sign that dispalyed the name of my roller coaster. I called the roller coaste "tipsy" and added some colour to the text on the sign.

Engineer drawing with CAD applications
Engineers: People who use techincal means to solve problems. they design products, systems, deveices, and sturcture to improve our living conditions
Techincal Drawings; A clear, precidse language used in the desgn process for communication, solving problems, quicly and accurately visualizing objects, and conducting analysis
Design Process: Problem identification -> preliminary Ideas -> Design Refinement -> Analysis -> Optimization -> Documentation.
Implementation: Servicing, Financing, Marketing, producting, planning, documenting

Week 5
Monday March 1
I worked on the loop. I used smaller peices to make the loop a little more smooth. I also added a slight curve to the loop so that it would align properly with the following track
Tuesday March 2
I worked on the loop. I used smaller peices to make the loop a little more smooth. I also added a slight curve to the loop so that it would align properly with the following track
Wednesday March 3
I took a snow day. No school for me
Thursday March 4
Today i finished off the loop. I have learned a lot about rotating shapes and objects. I have also learned a lot about making the track curve and making the objects look appealing to the eye.
Friday March 5
Today i finished off the track. I also did the final touches on the support beams and aligning everything proerply. I learned how important dimensions and perfect alignment is when creating a roller coaster. Next time i would spend more time on creating the perfect roller coaster shape. I am satisfied with the final outcome of my roller coaster.
