PRETEND YOUR CAPSTONE WAS A &quot;BUSINESS&quot; IN WHICH YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE AND
IT IS TIME TO ASSESS YOUR PERFORMANCE THIS YEAR. IN A REAL BUSINESS, YOU MIGHT BE
ASKED TO ASSESS YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE AND DECIDE HOW YOU WILL IMPROVE YOUR
PERFORMANCE IN THE COMING YEAR.
DESCRIBE ONE STRENGTH IN YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE OF THE CAPSTONE PROJECT LAST
SEMESTER. ALSO DESCRIBE ONE ASPECT WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO PERFORM BETTER AND HOW
YOU PLAN TO ACHIEVE THIS IMPROVEMENT. One strength in my performance of the
capstone project last semester
is respecting deadlines and the capstone calendar. Whenever I have a task, I
instantly make a plan to organize all the to-does which I have and finish this task
according to the deadline given. Organizing my tasks and making a plan is a very
effective way
to achieve success. One aspect where I would like to perform better is to respect
my teammates and accept their excuses if they didn???t finish their tasks before
the deadline. I always become very angry when I find a delay in the capstone work.
Sometimes
they have hard times in which they have too much work to do in different things,
for instance: competitions, circumstances, external work and etc. Although they
have strong excuses, I don???t go with it and keep blaming them which makes them
less confident
in their selves and that cause them to not do their best at their tasks which
affects the capstone work in general. IN CAPSTONE WORK, RESEARCH PRIOR SOLUTIONS
HELPS IN SELECTING YOUR OWN SOLUTION. CHOOSE TWO PRIOR SOLUTIONS RELATED TO YOUR
WORK, DESCRIBE ONE
POINT OF STRENGTH OF EACH SOLUTION AND DESCRIBE ONE WEAKNESS FOR EACH One prior
solution to my work is getting benefit from the wasted heat in iron industry during
the process of manufacturing it and use it to produce electricity needed for
operating the machines.
We know when we convert a kind of energy to other energy, there must me some
wasted energy and thus no machine is ideal. So solution was to minimize that wasted
energy which is heat. By using thermoelectric generator which generates electricity
by the temperature
difference of its sides we could generate some additional electricity and thus
reducing the cost of the manufacture. One point of strength is that maintaining a
system of thermoelectric generators is easy and installing it is very simple. Also
it doesn???t
pollute the environment or emit anything, it just generate electricity. One point
of weakness is that the price of thermoelectric generators are quite expensive and
it doesn???t generates lots amounts of electricity. The second prior solution is
developing
the solar cell by adding muscovite to the solar cell instead of the ordinary
material and thus increasing the efficiency of solar cell by generating more
electricity from the same amount of solar energy. Also by programming the solar
cell to move vertically
to the sun and thus it is faced all the day to the sun increasing the electricity
generated from solar cell. One point of strength is that muscovite is cheaper and
the cost of maintaining it is cheap. One point of weakness is that it has a low
life durability.
SUGGEST ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW TO MINIMIZE THE COST OF THE EXTRACTION OF ALUMINUM FROM
MOLTEN ALUMINUM OXIDE.(CH.2.08) Knowing the process of electrolysis of aluminum
oxide into aluminum and oxide is the basic info we need to know before beginning to
make any
changes in the process of the extraction of aluminum. By knowing the standard
reduction potential of the aluminum and oxygen, we could know exactly the minimum
energy needed for electrolysis and thus reducing the cost of the extraction. The
equation of the
electrolysis of aluminum oxide is: 2 AlO ----(by heat)------ 2 Al &#43; O2 Also we
could benefit from the heat produced by some machines in certain factories like car
factories use it to extract aluminum oxide and thus we benefited from the waste
heat produced
by some industries in our goal. Also by extracting aluminum from aluminum oxide in
places where there is low pressure makes us reach the melting point of aluminum
oxide easily and with less heat and thus the cost is reduced IN EARTH SCIENCE YOU
ARE STUDYING
THE GEOSPHERE AND THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE EARTH . PICK ONE OF THESE AND EXPLAIN HOW
IT AFFECTS THE INDUSTRY YOU HAVE CHOSEN FOR YOUR CAPSTONE PROJECT. (ES.2.09) The
atmosphere is an essential part of the system of the earth where we breathe and the
change in
the climate, weather, sea, the global warming and many more things happen because
of a small change in the atmosphere. So, all factories keep in mind how to achieve
their products with a minimal effect on the atmosphere. And that what we also cared
about.
We chose to work on car industry and that involves the use of iron, copper and
manganese in making the car. A slight change in the temperature could lead to big
flaws in the programming of the car and that???s due to the different pressures
used when installing
the car. A change in the temperature and pressure combined could lead to the
damage of some electronic parts in the car leading to these flaws and that made us
to add temperature sensors. Also before painting the car, we have to the percentage
of oxygen and
water vapor in the atmosphere and thus preventing the rust that could happen to
the iron of the car. Finally, we have to measure the safe dosages of carbon oxide
and pollutants which we could release to the atmosphere and thus making new filters
that are adapted
only to the atmosphere around the factory and thus reducing the cost of these
filters and reducing the cost of maintaining the car in the future.
