Machine Control: Capstone Project
-Brainstorming Ideas: Provide at least four of your team’s brainstorming ideas for the design solution. This should include brainstorming sketches or electronic 3D models of your ideas. Each sketch should be signed, dated, and should include labels and descriptions for communication.
-Decision Matrix: Evaluate the four solution ideas using a decision matrix. Determine the best solution to the problem.
-Final Design Solution: Create a detailed pictorial sketch or use 3D modeling software to document the best solution, based upon your team’s decision matrix. Your sketch or 3D model should include a rationale for the design selected as the final design solution. Each sketch should be signed, dated, and should include labels and descriptions for communication.
-Design Modifications: If you change your final design solution, document the modifications. Explain the reason for the modifications and describe how the new design solution will solve the problem (refer to Design Modifications Chart).
-Final Design: This section will include information pertinent to the design solution in the form of images (e.g., photographs of final solution, photographs of testing solution, orthographic and isometric drawings, assembly, schematics, exploded views, written programs, flow charts, calculations, and data tables).
-Reflection: How well did you accomplish your objectives? What would your team do differently with your design solution and why? Do the results fulfill the problem statement? Provide a brief explanation of what you learned, the challenges of working in a design team, and the purpose of the design problem. The reflection should be 200-250 words.

****Additional Questions Added****
- A Helping Hand: Since one of the major goals of our course is to expose students to working in a collaborative and open environment (like one might experience in a professional technical setting), I'd like to know if there were any students outside of your team that were especially helpful to your efforts. If you did recieve some help, please let me know who that was and be specific about how they helped you out. I will look positively on you for recognizing people that made a difference for you. Thanks.

Engineer program investigation
I chose to do UCLA's architecture and Urban design,
course requirements:
all applicants are expected to submit a statement of purpose, creative portfolio, and the departmental supplement. Letters of Recommendation 3
Questions
College/University of interest: UCLA
Why does this institution appeal to you?: I like the campus, it's a great and well known school, it shows a good program for architecture that i want
Which engineering program is most interesting to you and why?: I'm mostly interested in the architecture, Master of Architecture I (M.Arch. I) because i'm a creative person and i'm better at designing the interior or exterior than the actual technical calculations and building of it
Which undergraduate engineering elective is most interesting? Describe the course and its appeal to you: the BA in Architectural Studies because it's all about designing
