Welcome to my blog, this is where I record down my journey through CP5070, Chemical Product Design and Development.

About me: I am Daryl from DCHE Chemical Engineering, class DCHE/2B/01. I am a facilitator for group 1, "Garage Engineers". My group mates are Jia yu, Nikkisha and Benjamin.

Roles and Responsibilities

Leader: Nikkisha
Facilitator: Daryl
Target Setter: Benjamin
Time Keeper: Jia yu

Ground rules for Garage Engineers
  1. Everyone should contribute equally
  2. Everyone should be punctual and be present for meetings or discussions
  3. Seek for help when in need
  4. All group mates should contribute effectively towards group discussions
  5. Group members should solve conflict nicely 
  6. Group members should acknowledge messages that are sent in the group
Personal Goals

First Goal: To be better at communication

This is because during group discussions, I often fear that I would give the wrong answer or give a suggestion that may seem silly to others. This often held me back from voicing out my suggestions and opinions. I want to improve on this because I want to contribute effectively and be able to voice out my opinions or suggestions freely. In order to overcome this problem, I plan to just let my opinions and solutions out without having to think too much about whether they are right or wrong. Who knows? My opinions could be valuable to the group which could really benefit the group. I will know whether I have achieved this goal is when I am able to freely voice out and contribute to group discussions even more effectively. 

Second Goal: I want to improve my CAD skills in Fusion360

In my opinion, CAD skills are very important in this coming day and age. In my opinion, everyone should be able to know what is CAD and Fusion360. This is due to the fact that we are able to create countless of products in Fusion360 and then get them to be printed at a 3D Printer. We are able to create products ranging from toys/figurines to edible food. In the future, I think that CAD skills would be very prevalent and it would be highly sourced by companies. In order to get there, I plan to watch educational Youtube videos in my free time to learn more about Fusion360 and follow and create the product the person is showing in the video. I would also make sure to clarify my doubts and seek help whenever in doubt. I will know I have achieved this skill when I am able to freely create products that I want, and I am familiar with most if not all the functions in Fusion360

Arduino Programming

Arduino Programming Task Overview For this week, week 5's practical, I learned about what an Arduino is and what is Arduino programming. I also learned about the different parts of an Arduino board as well as different components that can be used with an Arduino board. This includes LEDs etc. We were tasked with 4 activities. They include:  a. Interface a Potentiometer Analog Input to maker UNO board and measure its signal in serial monitor Arduino IDE  b. Interface a LDR to maker UNO board and measure its signal in serial monitor Arduino IDE  c.  Interface 3 LEDs ( Red , Yellow , Green ) to maker UNO board and program it to perform something (fade or flash etc)  d.  Interface the DC motor to maker UNO board and program it to on and off using push button on the board Potentiometer Analog Input This is how it looks like on Tinkercad ! After the assembly of the setup, I proceeded with copying and pasting the code that was provided by Tinkercad. However, there...

CAD Part 1

Overview In today's CP5070 lesson, we were given a refresher course about Fusion360. So what is Fusion360? It is basically the one and only tool that connects the entire product development process into a single CAD/CAM/CAE cloud-based platform. It is able to work well on both Mac and Windows. What we had to do for today's lesson is re-creating a keychain using Fusion360 with our name on it. In my opinion, I find such programme fun and exciting to use and we can get to explore and create our very own products. After we are done with the products, we are able to send it to a 3D Printer to get it printed out using an assortment of different materials. To my mind, learning to use such programme and 3D Printing is a very crucial skill as I believe this field of technology would continue grow and play a very important parts of our daily lives. An example is in the future, I believe it is possible to even print out functioning human organs and this would greatly benefit those who tru...

Overview  Hello, welcome back to my blog ! For this week's blog entry, it is about Design Of Experiments (DOE). So what is DOE? DOE is essentially a statistics based approach to designing experiments. Documentation of case study  For Case Study 1, I was appointed as the CEO by my group and I was tasked to complete this case study together with my friend, Nikkisha who is the CFO. Part 1:   Determining effect on single factors and their ranking Recreating the table shown in the PDF, into an Excel file. It looks something like this Where, A = Diameter of bowl   B = Microwaving time C = Power However, for ease of convenience. I have replaced the + and - signs to their respective high and low values. Next, I used this template and filled in the Bullets into the "Average" Column. It is shown as follows This is the data that I got for filling the values in the above table With the data that I arrived at, I tabulated the graph and it looks something like this The ranking mos...
