 CP5070 Blog


Welcome to my blog for module CP5070.Im Kieran Lee from DCHE 2B 01 from Team KANX. This module is a continuation of CP5065. For this module, we need to each have an individual blog to document our chemical product journey in order to track changes and avoid mistakes during our journey.


More about myself

I am Kieran and I am part of SP sailing and frisbee CCA. I am also a very adventurous and curious person and I love to try and learn new things during my free time. I often watch informative Youtube on how and why things are designed the way they are.


Personal Goals

For this module, I have two personal goals I hope that I am able to achieve at the end of the module. Firstly, I want to sharpen my CAD skills and produce a more complex product. Secondly, I want to be able to have better project management skills.


In order to achieve both of these personal goals,I would need to have a plan that would allow me to achieve the final outcome.


 For the first goal, I intend to find videos on how to make more complex products and learn the necessary skills that would be useful for me to attain. I also intend to read up on articles on how to use more complex functions. To ensure that I have learnt about the new skills, I also plan to practise on how to use them to ensure that I can apply it in my CADD projects. This will allow me to be more familiar with the software and ensure that I am able to use CADD to the fullest potential.


For the second goal, I plan to read books and watch videos on leadership skills. I intend to apply the skills I learn and put it into practise in our weekly work. In order to achieve that, I need to have more confidence in my teammates' work and trust that they are able to do their own individual part on time.


I will know whether I have accomplished improving my CAD skills when I am able to use the software proficiently and confidently to design complex items by the end of the semester.


For the second goal, I will know whether I have accomplished this goal when I ask for feedback on my leadership skills from my teammates and ask them whether I have improved compared to the last semester in CP5065. I can also use the opportunity to gain more feedback on how to be a better leader so that I am able to use it in the near future such as in my CCA.


Teaming Skills and Tools


Every high-performing team has characteristics that differentiate them from the other teams. The characteristics are

  • Having clear goals tied closely to the team and the team priorities

  • Having defined roles and responsibilities of each member

  • Being able to communicate clearly and effectively

  • Manage work and deadlines based on responsibilities

  • Trust and respect each other

 



Here are some of the ground rules that we have set for the team.

  • Everyone needs to do contribute and do their part

  • Individual work will be assigned and it needs to be done by the deadline set by the person

  • Help one other out 

  • Voice out opinions openly about each others performance

  • Take feedback from other members openly

  • Submit quality work


For this semester the roles of the members of the team are

Nick: Leader

Xavier: Timekeeper

Anwar: Scribe

Kieran: Target setter


Our meeting will take place every Tuesday night from 6pm to plan and get work done.

Week 2 For the 2nd lesson of CPDD, we will be mainly talking about The Learning objectives of Week 2’s lesson Introduction to laser cutting Reflection on Week 2’s lesson Learning objectives The learning objectives of week 2 lesson is to Explain how a CO2 laser cutter machine work Describe the hazard and safety associated with the operation of laser cutter machine List the materials that can be laser cut in FabLab SP Explain the difference between raster and vector Explain kerf and its impact in laser cutting Introduction to laser cutting How does a CO2 laser cutter work? A CO2 laser is produced in a sealed glass tube mainly filled with CO2 and some nitrogen. High voltage electricity is passed through the tubes which increases the energy of the gas particles and produces an invisible beam of high power infrared light(laser beam).  In order to move the laser in different directions, there are multiple mirrors that reflect the laser that exits at the end of the tube to the focusing le...

  DOE Contents for this Design of Experiment blog Document and describe how the full factorial data analysis was performed. Determine the effect of single factors and their ranking Determine the interaction effects All tables and graphs both as pictures and as excel file Conclusion of the data analysis for full factorial data analysis Documentation of how the fractional data analysis was performed by selecting 4 experiments from the full factorial data that are orthogonal Determine the effects of single factors and their ranking All tables and graphs both as pictures and as excel file Conclusion of the data analysis for fractional data analysis For this activity,I was tasked with doing Case study 2. In this case study, in a wastewater treatment facility, a combination of coagulant chemicals, treatment temperature and stirring speed were identified as a critical factor to treat the wastewater to produce clean water. The clean water produced is recycled back into the main process and...
