BLAH BLAH BLAH, hamfisted reiteration of what the assignment is in a shallow and soulless attempt to scrape a few more percentage points out of the bottom of the barrel where they keep our failing grades.

Project Management
Cause for Corrective Action
The group seems to be working together well now. we generally have very regular attendance at meetings and are improving our focus during those meetings. The cause for concern now is more refining our approach to group assignments that they may be completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. To that end, everyone was specifically assigned tasks before our first meeting in an attempt to streamline group work, and also to attempt to more evenly distribute out of meeting work among members.
Project Evaluation
Component Summary
| Component Name | Component Picture | Material(s) | Number of Components | |
| Keys | asfdff | wood, with plastic covering | 152 | In this section should be a bunch of stuff discussing the component's purpose and manufacturing techniques involved in its prodocution |
Product Analysis
we have to answer all these questions:
Component Function
What function does the component perform?
Does the component help to perform multiple functions?
What flows are associated with the component?
What environment does the component function in?
Component Form (Geometry, Material, and Appearance)
What is the general shape of the component?
Does it have any notable properties (e.g. axis-symetric)?
Is it primarily one, two, or three dimensional?
How large is the component (L x W x H)?
How is the component’s shape coupled to the function the component performs?
What does the component (roughly) weigh?
What material is the component made from?
Did manufacturing decisions impact this?
Is a specific material property needed for it to function?
How did global, societal, economic, and environmental factors influence the decision?
What are the aesthetic properties of the component?
Does the component have an aesthetic purpose?
What color is the component and why?
What type of surface finish does the component have?
Is this for functional or aesthetic reasons?
Manufacturing Methods
What manufacturing methods were used to make the part?
What evidence supports this?
Did material choice impact this decision?
Did shape impact the method selected?
How did global, societal, economic, and environmental factors influence the decision?
Component Complexity
How complex is each component?
Define a meaningful scale?
How do the three categories above impact complexity?
How complex are the interactions?
How can you define a meaningful scale?
For at least seven components. SEVEN.
God I hate this class.
Solid Modeled Assembly
Engineering Analysis
Strings and soundboard stuff.
By Apollo, this is complicated … Apollo is cool because not only is he the god of music, but also hunting and the moon. And plague. And health. And I'm pretty sure famine or something. And archery. He's cool, alright?
Chris's outline of things to talk about: Standing waves in strings: First harmonic Harmonics (You mean that what I just said was a lie?) Inharmonicity (You mean the thing I just said was a lie has more lies inherent in its operation?) Wave propagation after hammer strike and its effect on harmonics Soundboard and why it's there Effects of soundboard on low and high harmonics (Wait, you mean that what you said was a lie … again?) How this is all a big subjective lie and math isn't capable of explaining music (Source: Ben Jammin') (except that it is and it's just insanely complicated)
Design Revisions
In this section, we get to think about changes to a system that has been optimized over hundreds of years! While also considering one of the four bullshit GSEE factors, and the "products[sic] target audience and price point when making changes".
I can't decide if we're suppose to make or climb the mountain of bullshit.
