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.

Teamwork Strategy KEATON: “MOBILITY” Wheels, Casters, Brakes Assembly Sheet and Cover Page JAMES: “COMFORT” Seat, Back Rest, Foot Rest, Everything Else Power Point KEVIN “STABILTY” Frame, Geometry, Axel

ENGGR  Wheel Chair Project Connection Measuring and Scaling an unknown object Freehand Sketching and Drawing AutoCAD Drafting Note taking Teamwork Time Management Leadership Critical Thinking Most Significant Aspect learned in this project….. Team work and Time Management

SPAZZ-G Improvements Height and Foot Rest Adjustment More Comfortable Seating and Handle Bars Easier to Use Brakes Rotating/Collapsible Foot Rest

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.
