Culminating Blog Reflection

         Since I had started my project, I achieving many skills and learn new things. I succeeded in using critical thinking, by researching an gather information, then figuring out if the information was reliable and correct. I communicated and interacted with not only my mentor, but with other people as well. I had communicated by asking others information questions about unfamiliar things. I successfully collaborated with my mentor, because we got along with each other and respected one another, as well with others that my mentor introduce me too. I was creative because I design and drawn visual images of the information to personally understand the information better. I used images because I am more of a visual learner then a verbal learner. The task requirements to accomplish the aspect of the project were great because I learn a lot from them. They all provided me with good skill that I can use in the future.

          The personal gain i learn was to stay ahead of the curve and not behind, because ignorance is weakness and urgency is strength. This thought me to be prepare for any circumstance and more responsible with task accomplishment dates. As I work on the project i learn many skills and one of the main skill was to be more social. I learn how to be more social by been confidence and understanding other people perspective. The intellectual gain was that I learn how to work on electronic components to make electronic devices. By understanding the electronic components, it help me understand the engineering background and more about how they work in order to make a electronic device. Once I knew more, it became easier to understand how electronic engineering works. The skills gain were fantastic and the expireces were unique. 

          Throughout the project I encountered variety of challenges, but I was determine to overcome them with consistent effort. The challenges were difficult at time, but seem to be easy to solve once I knew more about the concepts. The biggest challenge was to gather information without my mentor’s convinced. I overcame that challenge, by researching the information through several reliable sources and asking other around. As I learn how to overcome the challenges it became easier to solve the problem.

          

The 6th Day(The Final Day of 25 Hours)

Monday April 28, 2014                                                                                                                   8 hours
          Monday was the last day before I had completed my 25 hours with my mentor. We had successfully focus on switches, speaker sound structures, and learn more about diodes. When we talked about switches we discussed, that switches can have resistors and fuse, to protect the wire from over flow current. Then when we focused on speakers, we encounter parallel and series speaker connection structure. As a result, I found out that speakers have different wave levels, that causes different sounds and need certain devices to be played. The devices were sub-woofers, mid range, and tweeters. We finally finished, by talking about diodes with 3 parts and circular shaped diodes. I learn the names of the parts and found out what they contribute. Throughout the the hours, we open devices and clean the dust that is inside because dust are a big impacted in over heating devices. The challenges i encountered was the constant verbal communication, because i had trouble getting a picture in my head, with out knowing the substance and the components that was mentioned. On Monday, I personally got to learn about speakers sound control and connection structure. The sound structure on speakers, that i learned was sub-woofer witch has low waves,mid range witch has middle sound waves, and tweeters witch has high pitch waves. My mentor agreed to keep on going to see him and to see myself taking electrical engineering classes in college. We came up with a agreement on scheduling and comprehending level sequence.
