Welcome!

Hi! My name is Luis Mendez and I will be using this blog as a portfolio for my Engineering Design class. I will be posting my projects and examples along with a brief descriptions of what I did. Please check back to see my work!

20th Century power point!

This is the Poewr Point of the 20th Century Power Point.

In this project we did a power point on technologys that was created

in the 20th century.

Poster Projects (with details)

This is a picture of my beverage cup. Which is an project we had done in the beggining

of the school year on how to decorate an regular cup and make a newer and better version.

And try to persuave your costumers into buying it. It was a lesson on how you take a old product that has been here for a couple of years and try to take it from that stage and make a better version. For example the shopping cart. They try to make it be voice command and have a price scanner on it. They had a lot of new ideas for a old product.

This is another project we did in the beggining of the school year. This project was having a slide show of a timeline of a technology that had been with us for many years. For example I have did the television from the first television ever made to the latest television out now. This was to show us how technology expanded and to see how long was this technology really been out.

History of Measurements!

In this project we learned about how people use to measure through out time.

What tools they use to measure, and how they use to write down there measurements.

Puzzle Design Challenge

This project is how I only sketch one part of the whole cube.

This shows me how a product is process and how by hand made

you can visualize it more better. The whole concept was to keep it

3x3 because it couldnt be any longer then that. The length or with or height.

This is when you connect the whole design in the first part

(picture in the beggining) to basically see the product itself before you

actually make the final design. This teaches me how many kind of

combinations I can have for my product with each piece and kinds of

rows and colors.

Puzzle Cube Package

This is my package for the cube that I have designed with the

help of my parents. Basically I used a cardboard and cut it to the form of the

steps giving by my Engineering teacher. What this package is for is for my

product im trying to sell to the toddlers and give it to the Fine Office Funiture Inc.

Each person is selling the same product but is advertising it different. You must persuave your

costumer in order for you to be able to be successful in selling your product.

This is how my package looks when its open up and how I started

before I folded it to a package. I drew the designs and color it so my work can be hand made.

This project took me about 4 hours to do but I did not complain because it was fun.

I actually had a great time with my parents doing it. 

Students At Work! ! !

Me & Destiny are working on our Prototype of our actuall cube.

In this project we got some combinations and made an cube out of 5 different combinations.

Doing my work!

This is a picture of myself doing my work in my engineering class. I was creating the puzzle combination.
I was basically coloring and sketching so I can make an actually protype of the creation model I have made.

Engineering Notebook!

 My Engineering Notebook! ! !



These are pictures of pages inside of my Engineering notebook and basically this is where I write down or sketch my ideas of my projects and where I get my information from. Almost every project I have done that I had to do with research and looking up information I need to use my notebook to tell where I actually got my information from and how I did the project and research. This is where I jot down my ideas so it can become more easier and I can see what I am thinking. Every Engineerer needs a notebook to put their information in so the can know what they got on their mind and also so someone else can know what you are trying to explain.
