I have gained a huge amount of knowledge on the different type of aesthetics and its variations. The open ended final project was a challenge as there was not…

What and why? For my Final Project I have decided to do a wall clock. My decision behind it was due to many reasons. First was the feedback I got from the previous project, where i focused too much on the functionality, which ultimately limited my choices in the aesthetics. For this project I wanted…

My project is building a wall clock with a Mechanical Engineering theme that includes tools such as gears, wrenches and hammer.

Design Process: Available Materials: due to the requirement of the assignment, my first concern was what materials do I have in my disposal that can be used. Since I have amazon prime and being lazy, I end up with a lot of shipping boxes. 2) Brainstorming: my biggest concern in this step was to come up with as many ideas as possible. However, the option to build something out of card boxed are endless. Thus, i have decided to do something that would be useful. 3) Objective of product: after coming up with multiple ideas, I have decided to do a drawer because  it was something I wanted to buy for my apartment and doing this project will save me money. So two birds…
