History of Cell Phones: Cell Phones Over the Years


This is an image of all the slides I did for my classroom presentation on the history and evolution of cell phones. It was a fun project and I learned things as I worked on this project. On the last slide, I listed all of my resources and websites' urls from where I gathered all of my information from.

Puzzle Cube Research


These are notes we had to write down on our Engineer's Notebook. I listed the objectives of the requirements for the puzzle cube project. It is continued on another page since I didn't have enough space.

Puzzle Cube Research (Part 2)


These are additional notes I included when we researched information for the puzzle cube project.

Puzzle Cube


This was a project where we had to find different ways to make shapes with 3 cubes, 4 cubes, 5 cubes and 6 cubes. Here, I put different examples of shapes.

Perspective Sketching


This is a perspective sketch I did in class. You draw any shape and its lines end at any of the two ends above them. On the first sketch, several lines meet and end at one end. That one is a "One Point Perspective" sketching. The second sketch, has the lines ending on two separate corners because that one is a "Two Point Perspective" sketch. Last but not least, the last shape has many lines that meet at both ends AND on the bottom as well. This defines it as a "Three Point Perspective" sketch since it has lines meeting at 3 different points.

Isometric Sketches


These are Isometric Sketches. These types of sketches make the shapes point to you and you make 3-dimensional sketches into 2-dimensional ones.re.

Oblique Pictorials


These are another kind of sketch we did in engineering class. They are Oblique Pictorials. As you can see, they are different & a little less unrealistic than isometric sketches.

Beverage Container


The first assessment we had to do was a "Beverage Container" project about improving the use of cups. Here, this container keeps every drink "cold". At the bottom (the blue colored object), filters the drink all time. Then, under the cup, is where you insert the batteries. The sides are curved, so you can have a better grip. Last, but not least, the little design of the orange colored sun, changes colors to let you know the temperature of the atmosphere it is in.

Welcome!

Hi! My name is Christell and I will be using this blog as a portfolio for my Introduction To Engineering Design class. I will be posting my projects and examples along with a brief desription of what I did. Please check back to see my work!
