eire_insane

I never got the bref off my teacher in engineering and i have to have the folder finish by Thursday.

Please could someone post the main headings and a bref describtion on what they are about.
Thanks

Lenny

You shouldn't get a brief off your teacher.
You brief was supposed to be some what finished before you started your project as stated on the exam paper.
I haven't started my brief yet either
Though a have a few drawing's made, I gota get my head down and make a good brief as I haven't got my project finished yet
if you want, i can upload you the exam paper if you want(the one they give out with the instructions)

Lenny

if you want, i'll throw up the heading of what it should include.
ie. possible reasearch, working drawings, problems etc.
that what you mean?

i`d scan the marking scheme if i could find my scanner but on it for the folder the sections they are looking for are

• analysis of brief
• investigation of solutions
• criteria for selection of solution
• production drawings/plans
• testing and evaluation
• presentation of folder

thats what they want for the folder anyways @ higher level

Lenny

Post up what level you're doing and I'll put up the marking scheme, I have the exam paper with me

ah i remember doing that boll*x last year..

like they said above fill it out witha loda of rubbish about where u got all your info, what research u did, put in plenty diagrams, have about 2 or 3 designs that u were going to use, put them in too...

thats what i did last yr and i got a B1.. (and in fairness the project we had to do last year was a bit harder than it is this year)

DMX

yup last year was da Car - Carbueretor,
hey sham ,
u sound familiar, are u from da Dungarvan Area by any chance?

Sham

Nah man i'm from limerick..

that project lasst year was fair hard tho compared to this years one..

altho my old teacher was telling me that the current 6th years took 5 weeks to come up with the idea of something going bang to suit the project.. (not the most intelligent bunch bless em)

good luck with the exams n stuff lads...
