Introduction
For this Project we started by having everyone bring in an item that they can take apart. Personally I brought in a small hand held fan the needed being the basis of my teams project. We were asked to take apart the device and do an indent analysis on the parts, how it works, and how we could redesign it to improve the function. We took apart the fan, did the analysis, and decided that we wanted to add a water element to the fan. We redesigned our fan to 3D print a new case that would fit the fan part San the new spray bottle parts. We had a lot of fun figuring out this project and in the end had a pretty good idea of how our time worked!
Report
Concepts
Reverse Engineering: the reproduction of another manufacturer's product following detailed examination of its construction or composition. This was the main idea of our project.
Gantt Chart: A horizontal bar chart that is used to keep track and plan work on a project. We made a Gantt chart and added all our deadlines and work onto it.
Exploded Sketch: A diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. We drew an exploded sketch of the fan in order to see how all the components lined up.
Conceptual Sketch: Drawings that are used by designers such as architects, engineers and interior designers as a quick and simple way of exploring initial ideas for designs. Conceptual sketches were used not only for our fan, but also the redesign of it.

Reflection
Overall this project was pretty fun. As far as things we could have done better, I think one is work productivity. I feel like we could have gotten more done on different days. We were very good at procrastinating our report. I could have helped by maybe getting more done personally. Second, I think I could have been more open to different ideas. I could have listen to different new ideas more. As far as things that went well I think we did a good job at achieving our goal. First, I had sympathy for other people’s ideas. We had a lot of group discussions about the ideas. Second, I feel I helped with leadership. We all kind of played a role in that.I feel that everyone worked really well in this project together and I think leadership helped with that.
