To the Moon: The Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Missions
Our project was to take an event in history of flight and create a presentation on it. The design brief is pictured below.
We chose to present on the Apollo, Gemini and Mercury missions. Our poster and power point are pictured below.
Pneumatic Systems-How It Works: Rollar Coaster, The New Texas Giant
Our task was to take a system of our choice and to make a poster over it, explaining the parts and pieces. Our final product is the following pdf poster.
Our topic was pneumatics, which is where pressurized gas is what powers systems, specifically moving systems.
Our photos were taken by Caroline Ward, my partner, on her iPhone 4. The location was at The New Texas Giant during the wait line to get on the ride. This was located at the Six Flags Under Texas in Arlington, Texas.

Energy Expo Project
Our assignment was to choose and energy source, and with a team, pull interesting and informative facts about it. We were graded on the quality of our sources, our information, fun facts, advantages and disadvantages, statistics, cost and efficiency, where it's used, and how it works. We also had to create a visual, a wow factor and be professional in our presentation.
Energy types presented over included nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, human energy, tidal energy, and hydro-electric energy.

Simple Machines Project
In our simple machines project, we were tasked with creating a presentation using real world examples of each of the six simple machines. Below, is the rubric we followed for our project.
Below is a copy of our final product, the power point used for our presentation, which is relatively stand alone.

Our project was to make an Under 21 Club placed in Boulder, Colorado, which would be visited from miles around. The first file is the brief for the design, the second is the codes with which we have to follow, and the third is our soil report, which shows the various aspects of our soil on our site location.

Habitat for Humanity Project
The goal of the habitat for humanity project was to design a house using both Habitat Code, as well as Universal code. So essentially, you had to be inexpensive with necessities, as well as unprejudiced against any disabled body. This was a challenge, because you also had huge constraints being enforced on what you could and could not do. The following is the design brief for the project, a copy of my client survey, my title page for my overview, my table of contents, my overview, four sheets that show off my house, and finally a site plan showing my house on its lot.

The wolf architecture project was our first Civil Engineering Project. My team member and I were told to make a model and present about the architectural style that is Gingerbread Victorian. Our model shows commonly noted accents of the Gingerbread style, such as the fancy trimmings, the "feathered" roof, the accented balcony, the window accents, and the tower piece in the back or the house.
What is Gingerbread Architecture?
When you hear "Gingerbread architecture' several things may come to mind, such as:
But Gingerbread architecture (also known as "Painted Lady") is very different from the stereotypes mentioned above. While seemingly similar to Queen Anne architecture, Gingerbread is the work of late 1860s and 1870s American architects. While there are still the occasional naive few, it is commonly known that the Gingerbread style is not made of gingerbread, but almost solely wood. One of the easiest ways to identify Victorian Architecture is the color. Generally, a Victorian house will be brightly colored, completely encased in popping pastels and highlighted with deeper hues. While Queen Anne architecture is known for its tall spindles and jutting sides, Gingerbread's characteristics are much more hushed. You average Gingerbread house will be slightly raised from the ground with stairs leading up to the wrapping porch followed by 2-3 levels and extrusions. The detailing on the houses are evident, but are not as flaunted as the Queen Anne style.
"Gingerbread was born during the post-Civil War era as public and private buildings the utilized the "stick style". Every outside vertical or oblique surface of these buildings and many arch were decorated with elaborate hand-carved, wooden latticework." -Britannica.com
Where Can I Find Gingerbread Architecture?
Gingerbread Architecture is most commonly found "down south" in the United States of America, spanning from South Carolina to Texas and even some can be found in Northern California and San Francisco. In some copycat cases, Victorian houses, mostly Queen Anne, but including Gingerbread, can be found scattered as far north as New York of Vermont.
