pg39-- Chp 4-Requirements, Sin, and Contracts. Quotes from Pahl and Beitz, and James Garcia.
40-- A Horror Story- Introduction to a design goal they had to meet with redesigning a helicopter to make it across the Atlantic carrying a certain amount of equipment.
41-- Further discussion of how often requirements are drawn up from a board that does not have skewed requirements for a design but seem so far fetched they may jeopardize other parts of the design to achieve their requirements.
42-- Talks about the designer have to deal with pressing factors such as time, and a ever increasing number of layers of oversight to the project.
43-- Discusses the committees top-priority is at the very initial stages have project leaders who are well seasoned in the field to tailor the design requirements, and starts the discussion of Sin, and saying all the players in a project are honest and truthful and great in their fields.
44-- But although in a perfect world they would all be honest and truthful with great communication with everything done at fair prices for best available is wrong. Because people are greed lazy and prideful. Thus is why there is contracts.
45-- Gives ideas on what to consider for drawing up a contract.
46-- Wrapping up first the design-build process so the contractor can see what material is needed and how long it will take. Notes and References are listed.

50--Boehm's Spiral Model
51--Chp 5- What Are Better Design Process Models? and a quote from Nigel Cross and Kees Dorst
52-- By looking at the Waterfall Model in software engineering the author argues for the fact there will be a dominant model
53--Mahen, Poon, and Boulanger's Co-Evolution model is discussed. Model says that the understanding of the problem and the solution to the problem are both incrementally progressed to the final solution as the process moves forward.
54-- Further discusses the Co-Evolution model highlights the good points and what it is lacking ultimately ending with its not sufficient enough. Then the Raymond Bazaar model is introduced and that Linux was actually out of this model.
55-- How the bazaar model works and designer fixes a bug or creates something to meet a problem and it is freely given to the community to be integrated into the rest of the system. Strengths for the model are offered that it normally it is superior design in quality and when offered to the community the bugs are soon found.
56-- Talks about what variables are in place for the Bazaar model to work. Touching on some more detailed aspects of why the Linux system works so well.
57--Boehms Spiral model of 1988 for building software is discussed and is ultimately supported to be embraced and developed with adding contracting points.
58-- Summary for his arguments on Design process models from chapter 2-5
Dr. Min Kao
Dr. Kao graduated from UT with both his doctorate and masters in electrical engineering he went on to start Garmin with Gary Burrell. Kao relates to this class in both the design process and starting his own company Kao led the engineering team that created the first GPS system and shortly after him and Mr. Burrell create ProNav then renamed to Garmin to sell their GPS system, which now has wide variety of different products pertaining to GPS.
ABET Design
Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic science and mathematics and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective. Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing and evaluation. The engineering design component of a curriculum must include most of the following features: development of student creativity, use of open-ended problems, development and use of modern design theory and methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specification, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations, production processes, concurrent engineering design, and detailed system description. Further it is essential to include a variety of realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact."
Marshmallow design- We devised a component to meet the desired need of a free standing structure to lift the marshmallow in attempt to be the highest possible. We talked about ideas of the structures we could build and after deciding on one we all agreed would work we started building the parts to be put together such as using two strands of spaghetti on the lower 2/3 of the structure to be stronger. Then we put them together.We did use a iterative process to gradually build our tower higher and higher as we tested the strength at each step, and adding braces to the weaker parts so they would hold up properly. We did have a sketch of the structure but it wasn't very detailed, we lacked in that aspect, and we improvised as we got further in the design process and encountered problems building it higher and higher.
Paper clip- In the paper clip design of pencil holder I did use a iterative process to get it to work but I had no idea how to begin and the only specification was that the pencil could not be touching the ground at any point. I lacked in using any math, maybe used basic science of how a structure will hold up the pencil by its shape. However, my design really had no plan or method to it and I eventually just got it to work after reshaping the paper clip and using trial and error.
Set back lines-
For when there are none specified for a particular zone are a minimum of 20 feet for front yard 5 feet for the side and 15 feet for the back yard.
New Technology
1. House that is fully energy independent and actually creates excess maybe not a new and revolutionary technology but is extremely important model for our future to become less dependent on fossil fuels.

2. Recon instruments is a variety of different instruments working together your goggles will display speed and altitude and other attributes as your skiing or whatever you may be doing. Its pretty cool they are displaying them in your goggles. I can see a variety of different uses for this technology. Such as gaming or military operations. http://www.gizmag.com/recon-instruments-action-camera-goggles/21243/
3. Graphene the thinnest known material most conductive and strongest has many potential purposes.
Allows only one layer of water through.http://www.gizmag.com/recon-instruments-action-camera-goggles/21243/
4. Elastic conductors have multiple uses for touch sensitive robots, smart fabric or bendable displays can be made from carbon nano tubes. http://www.gizmag.com/elastic-conductors-carbon-nanotubes/21235/
5. Human embryonic stem cell transplant improves vision. Was tested on legally blind people and helped improve their eye sight one could read 21 letter after could read 33 it could not only improve eyesight but also fight eye diseases. http://www.gizmag.com/retinal-stem-cell-transplant/21210/
