Assignments

1. Disposable Camera (PDF)

2. Internships (PDF)

3. Manufacturing

As each group did not have time to get through all of the processes, you are only required to do 3 of the 4 process choices listed in homework 3.

Other things to remember

  • You may work as a group to take the pictures or take pictures individually.
  • You must do the write up individually.
  • The homework is posted on the web as a Microsoft®PowerPoint® file.
  • You should download this file so that you can insert/import your pictures into it.
  • Insert/import your pictures into the file, THEN print the file so that you can write on it.
  • There are instructions on the web for getting pics from your camera into the Microsoft®PowerPoint®document.

What to hand in

  • Hand in a soft copy of all the pictures you take. You should put them on a floppy disk or email to the TA.
  • Hand in a hard copy of the homework.
