This is our Creative Engineering Design Project. Our assignment was to help solve a world problem. We brainstormed many ideas and we came to the conclusion to help solve net neutrality. We did research on it and had many ideas. We narrowed it down to having a compromise between the republican party and the democratic party. From here, we created a plan to make this happen. Our presentation above explains the full details of our research.
Content
A lot of research went into this project. We first had to research how the basics of our project went. We did this by researching how the internet works. From there we did research about the effects of net neutrality and what the democratic party and the republic party wants from this. We came up with different ideas on what these parties would compromise about. From there we decided to write a bill about taxing ISPs and increasing the number of public internet blocks, so research had to go into that as well. We also looked into how to write and format a bill. With this information, we successfully completed our prototype for our world problem.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I though this project was very enlightening. This was also fairly difficult due to this project being very abstract and theoretical. Personally, this was a little different than what I like to do. Despite this, this project was very fun and I learned a lot.
Since this project was difficult, we definitely some problems. One thing that our group could've worked on was time management. At the beginning of the project, we were to make a Gantt Chart which is a tool to help manage dates and times. Unfortunately, we did not do the best job at following the chart and if we can do a better job of staying on task, we could've made the process much more efficient. Another thing that we did not do best at was group cooperation. Our group was not fully contributing. Two or three people did most of the work while the rest of the group was sitting there, waiting for work. If all of our group members can be active, then the quality of our work would be much better.
Even though we had some difficulties, we finished the project successfully and did have some highlights. One thing we did very well was planning. We thought through our process very well and included a lot of important details that made our project better. If I can remember this going into my next project, I can be more successful. We also did a good job of being creative. Since this project required us to brainstorm, we had to be very creative to be successful. I though we did a very good job of coming up with different ideas, maybe a little too good. If I can bring a high level of creativity into any project, this will definitely make my group better.
