For the first Electronics Project, my team worked together to build a circuit and used a Multimeter to measure multiple elements of the circuit. There were three tasks, one assigned to each member of the group. There was a task assigned to each group member: Circuit builder, measurer, and the data collector/calculator. Because of this group collaboration, we were able to work quickly and efficiently to get the project done on time. This project was definitely a learning experience for all of us because this was the first time we had been expected to build a circuit. We worked together and followed the instructions step by step. The measurements we were expected to take included resistance, voltage, and current which is what the data collector used to calculate theoretical values for the upcoming measurements. …show more content…
We related the three measurements through Ohms Law which recognizes the equation to calculate for voltage, resistance, or current. For me, the most useful aspect of the project was learning how to build a circuit and measure values of resistance, current, and voltage with a Multimeter. At first, I did not know what the measurements meant, but after my teammates helped me understand how the measurements are correlated to the theoretical calculations and the circuit as a whole, I better understood how the circuit worked as well as what the measurements signified. Because of this project, I have significantly developed my understanding of circuit analysis and circuit building. This knowledge is essential to me as a learner because I believe that understanding correlations between design and analysis is the way to make us more successful engineers in our
This project in general was kind of fun. It’s better than some of the past assignments we've had. So it might be interesting if we had future assignments similar to this, because it involves a group & I like group work, because it gets done faster. My group was fair and on task. All of us did what we had to do, because we all care about grade. Since we all care about grade a lot, we completely focused on the assignment. No one was ever off task, and that was good, because we needed to get this assignment done. Another good things is, we never argued. I’m glad this happened, because if it did we would have never finished and that would have been bad. Throughout the whole assignment my group and I had perfect communication skills with one another
This project was quite expeditious due to the number of alternate subjects studied within the constraints of school. This made it quite difficult to complete because time limits were evident and tested. This could have had a substantial impact on the project itself, however, it did not because of skill and precision. Working individually could be beneficial in certain circumstances if one is smart, advantages might include independence and personal idea. Although, it was not easy coming up with good ideas and multi-tasking in different areas individually. In addition, working in a class group was helpful due to the amount of
For this class project, I think my group worked well together on the assignments. We all saw we had responsibilities and were expected to do our own parts for each assignment we worked on. For each assignment, we would split it equally among us and used a tool called Google Docs so we were each on our own computers but working together on one file. Google Docs really made the process easier with reviewing all the information and having it all in one file. If any questions came up we had a group text to communicate when we weren’t on campus grounds for class.
Overall, this group project went very well and was completed on time due to the fact there everyone including myself assigned ourselves with a task role, relational role and from the start had individual roles present such as leader, compromiser, and gatekeepers in the group that made it
This decision to start early on the project saved us from all the hassle we might have encountered by the end of the project. It allowed us for the time to think each and every part through and then write a good professional report. Each group member was assigned different parts of the project, which helped a lot in finishing the project well before the deadline. This saved us a lot of time for editing and revising our final report. Each time a group member was stuck on something the partner would try to help him out if the partner did not know how to they would go to the professor and seek her guidance. To make sure the whole team was on the same page, we had weekly discussion meetings. In the discussion meetings, each group member talked about the progress and the limitations on their part of the project. This idea proved to be quite healthy as now each group member knew what was going on in the project.
Something that we learned as a group was that cooperation helps a lot. Certain tasks were accomplished faster and this showed us that one person does not have to do the entire project on their own. Procrastination is also detrimental, causing cramming on days before deadlines. This can be stressful and force meetings to be postponed. Our group has also learned to follow a set schedule. Following a schedule allows us to complete all of our work on time.

The project members were quickly able to establish group communication means using a messenger program, and the group resources provided by Blackboard, allowing for instant recognition of messages and/or questions as well as an increasing interaction among the members. The data collected and evaluated by one member could easily be shared, and built upon by the other members. A common goal was shared among the members, and every member contributed greatly to the
I worked in a group with Wyatt and Jarik. This project was not very difficult but, it was not very easy either. I would rather do these kind of projects than learn about grammar and DOL. This project took a while to complete. I felt like it was a good amount of time to complete the project because, I didn’t have very much homework. I felt like we all worked on the project.
This group project was a lot of organization. At this moment, we had a lot of exams and
During my Master Courses at the University of Maryland University College each and every subject, we had to complete a group project and submit it within the certain time frame. It was a very challenging task as people were in my group was in different time zones and everybody was doing a job and has a household responsibility. Most of the time, I was leading my team, as I like to work in advance to complete the project before the deadline. I was preparing a meeting agenda for my project management course. We have completed weigh waste water project for blueberry farm to grow blueberry in organic way and at the same time providing nutrient and saving the
My group kept saying “Oh, we are 5 so this will be easy to do, we can do this in 2 hours.” The group size was problematic because we had too many people, and not a lot of work to do. I believe that this was one of the causes that some members of my group felt so confident with the project that either waited until the last minute to do their part or did not do it at all because they believed the other students would cover each section of the project.
Another group challenge we experienced was putting the first proposal together as we all have different methods of writing and explaining our topic. We each wrote a part of the paper and combined the input from each team member to created our final proposal. In addition, we took turns editing the document to assure the paper was flowing and all grammatical errors were
The objective of our senior project is to develop portable lab equipment and software interface for first year college students. The idea of our project is to allow portability and convenience for students to perform basic electronic labs at home. It is meant as a learning tool to generate a comprehensive, hands-on guide for students to use on
