Due Date: Thursday, 10/2 by 8AM
What is it? Independent Component 1 is an opportunity for you to add a dimension of creativity and/or an additional outlet for research. The goal of the component is for you to explore your topic in more depth with this component. On February 6, 2015, you will be turning in the following to your blog to prove completion of this component:
- Log of time taken to complete assignment Senior Project Hours spreadsheet.
- Evidence of the 30 hours of work (e.g. transcript, essays, tests, art work, photographs) as digital artifacts.
- LIA explanation of what you did.
To get your idea approved now, please answer the following questions:
For my independent component, I plan to practice drafting work at my mentorship (using Auto CAD and Microstation) and document what I accomplish in a composition notebook when I leave.
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
I will ask my mentor for permission to do drafting work from previous projects he's done. If he says yes, then I will receive a print from him and will begin working on it ASAP. Assuming each print takes approximately 3 hours to complete, I will have to draft a minimum of ten prints for my independent component. In terms of mentorship time, I predict this component will take me about twenty days to complete since I spend an average of 1.5 hours a week at my mentorship (once every Friday). I will also spend an additional five days (besides Friday) at my mentorship to ensure that my thirty hours are complete. As far as documenting goes, I will take before and after pictures of my drafting work to showcase my progress. In addition, I will also write a small description of what I did and update my Senior Project Hours Log as needed.

3. And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
Drafting is an important part of the engineering process because the accuracy of a project's designs depend on how accurately they were drafted. The practice of drafting will not only help me develop the skill and competency to work proficiently in an engineering environment, but it will also help me learn about the different drafting standards set forth by various companies (such as LA DWP and Edison) and techniques utilized by drafting professionals to improve efficiency.

4. Update your Senior Project Hours log.
Your answers to the questions should be supported with details and examples for the senior team to understand what you plan to do.
