As a student and someone who aspires to be an engineer, my guiding principles are derived from the ethical guidelines established by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE) and the Engineering Council (EC), and further reinforced by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). These guidelines, which are based on Honesty and Integrity, Respect for […]
I will carry out my commitment to the ethical principles laid out by the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Engineering Council. Both as a student and as a future professional engineer, I will be trustworthy and aware of the way my work and actions affect other people. It is important that I respect the […]
From the last blog Rhys has managed to complete the full circuit for the IR sensor on the breadboard and managed to get all 4 oscilloscope waveforms working with, each sensor being able to be seen working by flashing led when the visible wave is broken using black tubes to cover them for better accuracy. […]
This month, the real work began. Since i am the web master, I had to put hours of work to make the website because we have a deadline on the 23rd. I had to learn how to make everything through guides and just looking around through Word press to know where everything is. I had […]
November’s lab sessions unfolded as a series of triumphs in our micromouse project. After unremitting efforts, I successfully integrated the Arduino board, motors, and touch bar sensors into the mouse chassis. Luckly, everything fell into place on the first try. Code changes proved to be the key to our micromouse performing perfectly. The satisfaction of […]
This month we have accomplished many tasks relating to our micromouse. Mohammed has made a lot of progress with the website, we are happy with the design he’s come up with for it and the layout that is very easy to navigate. It’s a great window into our group and what we’ve done for the […]
In this month’s exhilarating lab sessions, the focus was on assembling the foundation of our micromouse project. My enthusiasm soared as I delved into the intricate world of robotics, meticulously piecing together the motor and sensors with keen interest. The hands-on experience allowed me to grasp the essential components, enhancing my understanding of the project’s […]
The first month of our group project has gone very well. Each team member has put themselves forwards for certain roles based on their personal skills, and while we are generally keeping to these roles we are stepping outside of them to help eachother with certain tasks. So far we’ve built a breadboard circuit with […]
The first week in our group design exercise we as a team created a matrix to show what skills we are good at. In terms of electrical hardware, I put myself down as the designer, technician, and tester, in terms of documentation I opted myself as the writer. The reason I put myself as primarily […]
At first we had a meeting to discuss the teams, we had a couple of questions for fun to answer. Then we started discussing everyone’s area of expertise which for me was a web master. Everyone was given a piece of paper to write what he’s good at so the demonstrators would make the perfect-balanced […]
