Project Strategy

• Producing an accurate and neatly drafted drawing of a wheel chair, by measuring, sketching, and using notes. Dividing the chair into portions in the beginning and agreeing to handle the parts individually, eventually coming together to assemble a final product.

Workload Distribution

• “Comfort” had it a lot easier compared to “Mobility”, and “Stability”

• Cover Sheet was also easier compared to power point and assembly sheet

Drawing Strategy

• If we were to do this project again we would keep the same strategy– Worked Well Together– Everyone was Productive

• Improve Sketches, Better Time Management, Better Tools

Reflection

• Our project went very well. Thought we did not have much time, we got into a very intricate level of detail and accuracy. We made sure to dimension confusing parts as accurately as possible and to draft the drawing in an easy to read matter.
