Applied Statistics

Objective:  TLWBAT calculate the mean , median , and range of the data set. 


This activity was a follow up to the puzzle cube project and we had to find the medium, mode, mean, and range of the sizes of each cube. We used a dial-caliper to measure the height of the hardwood cube.

Puzzle Cube

Objective: The objective for this project is to brainstorm and sketch possible solutions to an existing design problem. Select and Approach that meats or satisfies constraints in the design brief. Create somple extended solid computer aided design. 

For this project we had to create a puzzle cube that consists of 27 hardwood cubes and had to contain 5 puzzle pieces. The puzzle pieces had to have at least 3 hardwood cubes and more than 6. They had to be permanently attached.

Engineers Notebook

1 & 2) Identify the Problem & Constraints- We were given a list of constraints and we had to follow that criteria.




3) Brainstorming- We had to think of combinations to make our puzzle pieces to make our puzzle cube.We drew them on isometric paper.

Generating Ideas

4) Generate Ideas- I had to gather all of my combinations and make it into one Puzzle Cube. However creating a puzzle cube out of combination of puzzle pieces was hard to do because of our constraints.

Consider Packaging


5&6) Explore possibilities and select an approach- After I saw the combination that fit my criteria and was suitable for the client.

7) Build a Model or Prototype- After choosing the right specs. for my cube I came up with a Brand and logo for my Cube-------- The Go Cube. We handled packaging and the design of the packaging.

Orthographic Sketches

For this lesson we were given simple shapes and figures

to work on. We had to make each figure into and orthographic

sketch. We had to sketch top, front, and Right side.

Perspective Sketches

For this lesson my classmates and I had to sketch an

isometric figure that were represented in one point

perspective, two point perspective, and three point perspective.

Oblique Sketches

For this lesson we learned about oblique pictorials. For these oblique

pictorials there was two types, cavalier and cabinet. We were able to

distingush the difference between isometric and oblique sketches.

Isometric Sketches

For this semiproject we had learned about isometrics sketches.

We were each given a sheet of paper with a total of twelve

sketches for us to copy. Our sketches had to be as exact as possible.

History of Measurement

In this particular project or assignment we were asked to make a powerpoint presentation explaining the History of Measurement by a series of questions. I realized that there was more than just centimeters and inches but I learned how it came about. As explained in the presentation below.
