 Reflection: In today's lesson, we started learning how to draw and design a 3D product using a CADD software, Fusion 360. Before attending tutorial, we first had to make our initials keyring with the help from the resources provided in blackboard. It was very frustrating and it took a lot of time as it was all new to us. It was difficult to navigate the tools required as the instructions provided were not matching with our updated fusion 360. The most confusing part for us was the offset as we couldn't make our design to be like the one shown in the instructions. Eventually, we managed to figure out and help one another whenever we were still stuck to a part. Some of us redid the whole steps again as our final product was not the same as the one shown in the instruction manual. Nonetheless, it was still fun trying to learn new things and experiment with the software while making our keyring. An example of our team's nametag is shown below: 1.      Jun Lin 2. Ashwati...

Reflection:  In the previous lesson, we have learnt and input our knowledge of materials for design for our chemical product. Today's lesson was designing for materials. We learnt how to change a design so that a particular material could be used. In addition, we learnt how the discovery of a new product leads to bringing new uses from the material attributes which could affect design changes and material research for design requirements and vice versa.  An example given to us was a hair dryer. A hair dryer consists of plastic cover with a bimetallic strip heating element. In order for the plastic to be made suitable as a material for the hair dryer, it uses a thermostat bimetallic strip so that the plastic won't melt under heat. This showed the change (bimetallic strip) in design for materials (plastic hair dryer).  From this example, we were tasked to do an activity where we had to find a material that can be a direct replacement of another in an existing product withou...
