Wow "its been a long time since I' ve been on this thing"

Over the past couple of weeks i have been getting my work done with the notes and, getting more key terms and so on. As you can see i have way more key terms than what i used to. Yesterday we went to the library with our catalogs, to get books based on our projects we had a great time there.

Notes Progress

I have been doing my notes but I am a little behind because the questions I have are hard to find information on, but I am getting it done the best that I can.

Did you knows!

When building a toothpick bridge, to make it strong you need to build strong structual parts like triangles, and arcs.
Toothpick bridge building can be many types of engineering
The strength of your toothpick bridge all depends on the structure of it.
Toothpick bridge building examplifies engineeering.
All bridges are constructed to hold their own weight.
Bridges do not just have to made by toothpicks

Working

In class we have been doing a proposal and a action plan. the action plan are the steps that i create for myself to get to the end of my project. The proposal is about my project and why i picked it.

Still researching tooth pick bridges

I still have been researching about different types of tooth pick bridges. Like ones that can hold up a person or some hevay objects like a brick or crate. In class we are now looking up facts about our projects, as mine is toothpick bridges.

Researching

I am now researching on past tooth pick bridges built. I have seen some that can hold up bricks, weights, and other things. Its giving me more ideas that i come up with, for this project.

A start

I have been told that I should build a tooth puck bridge , but not just a toothpick bridge. It's going to be able to hold up some type of heavy weight, I have been told that some student a couple of years ago bult a bridge out of popsicle sticks that could hold a fat guy. That is what my idea is based on

Questions

I have found out that for my project i am building some type of mechanical figure. I have been getting questions from my teacher on exactly what mechanical engineering is, so I am still trying to figure that out.

I am still having thoughts on building a miniture robot, but i need to learn more about engineering before i can confirm that idea.

Getting Closer

I have an idea of what I want to do, but I am not completeley sure. I was thinking about creating something that was based on mechanical engineering. I wanted to create a miniature robot or some type of mechanical design.

Grad Paroject Ideas

My graduation project is going to be based one of the things I like best and that is Mechanical engineering. I have a big interest in mechanical engineering and it is always something i wanted to do. That is also the career field that I would like to get into when I get out of school. I have always wanted to know how things work. I took an engineering class and it was a very fun and intersting expirience. I dont know exactly what I want to do but, i know it has something to do mechinical engineering.
