Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

CONTENT:

(1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.

Make a few programs in MasterCAM to better aquatint myself with the program

(2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.

Multiple programs will be made ranging in various difficulties and therefore ranging in times taken to make them

(3) How does your independent study component relate to your working EQ?  

It helps me better understand what program a machine programmer has to work with.

1. How can a machine programmer best produce quality airplane parts in the aerospace industry?
2. Devote himself more to quality than price efficiency.
3.  CMM machines ensure quality, but cheap ones aren't useful at all. Using tools that are made to handle the proper metal. Run proper maintenance on work holdings.
4.  How to select a CMM
5.  I plan to further pursue my second answer by talking to the people in charge of quality in the shop.

On Friday February 8th, you will be going into 2-Hour houses.   In your 2-Hour house, each student will be presenting the following:

• Introduction:  Hello, my name is Ariana King my senior project topic is machine programming and my essential question is How can a machine programmer best produce quality airplane parts in the aerospace industry?
• Sponge: What do you know about machine programming?  
• My first answer is by understanding the programs they use and my second one is by valuing quality over price.
• "According to "How to select a CMM", a proper CMM machine is key in ensuring quality.
• I plan to understand how a CMM machine determines quality by spending more time in the quality department of the shop.

30 Minute Lesson Plan

Name: Ariana King
Date:
House:North

Essential Question: How can a Machine Programmer best produce quality airplane parts used in the aerospace indusry?

Objectives: Properly setting a starting point in CAD/CAM systems, Learning how to understand the genreal coding of a program

CategoryGuide

Introduction: My name is Ariana King and I based my senior project on machine programming with CAD/CAM software. In this presentation, I hope to give a basic understanding on how CAD/CAM helps produce airplane parts while showing how important CAD programs are in the manufacturing field.

Verification: Does anyone know anyone who works in the manufacturing field? Does anyone have an idea how airplane parts are made? Does anyone know what a starting point is for in design programs? Has anyone worked with coding before?

End: Define what a starting point is used for in CAD programs. What do certain letters in the machine coding mean? How does CAD/CAM software help aid the manufacturing industry, or more specifically, the Aerospace industry?

Body

• Literal: The starting point oddly enough is not where the first line is drawn, but is where the tool is told to start. CAD/CAM software speeds up the production of airplane parts by removing almost all excessive prototypes. Some of the most important parts of coding in CAD/CAM software is stored in just one or two letters.
• Interpretive: Most important was to familiarize myself with the program so that i could further understand when my mentor was demonstrating how he created certain parts.
• Applied: How may this topic help you in the future? This will help me in the future by providing me with an "edge" should I choose to pursue this career in the future. There is never a shortage of jobs for programmers.

Visuals Items used for the Body of presentation. Visuals must enhance learning experience for audience members. I will have a Basic, pre-made program to give a rough idea how a machine would understand a program.

Activity (Describe the independent activity to reinforce this lesson)• What is the activity: I will have a simple match game where I offer a letter used in coding, and ask for someone to match what the letter means in the code.
• What materials will be used: Computor and a projector

Conclusion: Thank you for your time and I hope you were able to better understand the basic workings of my project.

Mentorship (Blog 11)

For my mentorship, I help in constructing solid models and simple tool paths.
My contact is Daniel King
So far there is a total of 25 hours done

Blog 9: Working EQ

(1) What was the working EQ you used during your presentation?
"What defines a machine programmer?"
(2) Did you decide to revise your working EQ after your presentation? If so, write your revised EQ here. If not simple write "I am not going to revise my EQ at this time".
I believe i should revise my EQ, but I am not sure to what.
(3) What are possible answers to your current working EQ?
How well a machine programmer can use the tools of his trade as well as how effectively he can communicate with the entire shop.

Second Interview

1. What was you're first experience with machine programming?

2.What made you want to go into the manufacturing field?

3.How many different shops have you worked at? Were all of them similar to one another?

4. How did you end up working at the shop you're working at now?

5. How would someone now get into the manufacturing field?
