Procedure/ Steps/ Drawings Concise methodology of the laboratory project including: . Brainstorming and teambuilding techniques used by the team to come to a solution . List of equipment and software used to create or develop the solution . All Orthographic drawings with measurements . All Solids drawings and/ or exploded views (if applicable) . All Mastercam file information (construction geometry) . Use images if necessary to document your work

Data Collection

 Detailed report of all data measurements, observed and assumed, as well as mathematical constants/formulas used in the laboratory activity. (You will have these during your activity)  You should include a Process Flowchart of the machining operations necessary to produce the product.  There should be a precise detail of the material type that you chose. (Why did you choose it? What is its alloying elements that give it the characteristics you desire. (A plain aluminum will not work or be accepted)  Mastercam .NC file printout explanation. (were there any spindle speed changes, how many tool changes?)  Use images if necessary to document and explan your work.

 This section allows you to conclude what you learned, overall, during the laboratory activity. Results should address at least the following questions: o Was the laboratory objective accomplished? o How did this laboratory activity relate to or support the concepts presented in course content? o Was the activity engaging enough to support the objectives? o What was the most difficult part of the exercise?

 Technical Article Correlation o Document article information . Publication name, volume number, page number and author o Relate the article similarities and differences to the laboratory exercise (remember to look for an article that is similar in one of the processes for the exercise or project) . This should be a brief overview. The purpose of the correlation is to expose the student to various processes and solutions to common problems and to broaden the area of cognitive thinking.
