Creative Engineering Design World Problems
ConceptsThis project focused heavily on the Engineer and Design Cycle. This process is an outline or steps that show how to solve a problem using engineering.

In this project we solved world problems with engineering solutions. Each group picked a topic then picked on problem under that category. The group I was in picked the topic of disease and decided to focus on type two diabetes. We came up with many different ideas to help people with type two diabetes. In the end we discovered that the best cure for type to diabetes was a health lifestyle and diet. So we created a spread sheet that tracks health. This is done by putting in the amount the healthy things you do during the day. The spread sheet is designed to turn the information plugged in into points. The more points the more healthy things you were doing. Scores could be compared daily. People could also compare there score to others to compete against each other. Along with making the spread sheet we also made a website. This website has information about type two diabetes such as details about the disease, tips, facts, health recipes, and a bunch of other stuff to help those with type two. Both links to the website and spread sheet are in the power point on the left. This power point is like our final product. It has almost all the reteach we have done and what we have have created for this project.
ReflectionThis project I feel turned out great. The power point and website look good. The spread sheet also works really well. The group I was part of worked together really well. We were able to get a lot of good work done. At first though we might have came up with too many silly ideas, but once we focused and started working we did a lot of good work. We probably should have distributed the work better because we reached a lot of points where only one or two people could work on the project and every one else just sat around. I felt like I did too little work on this project. I also did not contribute in making ideas. In the future I plan to work harder and more on projects. I learned how a spread sheet worked and new ways to be health and avoid type two diabetes.
