Careers Assignment - DPI Presentation November 7th

[Ron W]

After the presentation today, Reply to this post with your own answers
to these three questions. You do not need to repeeat the questions.

1. Name two items Phil told us that were included in his oral
Literature Review.


2. Name two items that Phil told us about his Materials and Methods.


3. What are you taking from Phil's presentatoin to your project or
presentation?

[Sophie Shoemaker]

He told us background information about his project such as the
different electric vehicles created and he told us about why creating
electric vehicles is important.

He told us the type of car they bought and what they did to modify it.

I learned that you can project what you think your results will be and
I learned that all the small details of a project can never be solved
completely but that is ok because it leaves room for further research.

[Rachel Greene]

Two items that Philemon included in his oral review were his
background and historical overview of the topic: when electric cars
were invented and the history of car making and gas prices. He also
discussed how various variable caused the making of electric cars and
what pushed more electric cars to be made.

In the materials and methods section he told us what type of car along
with what engine and what the miles per gallon of the car was. Also he
told us what he planned to do and how he was going to approach that.

From Phils project, I learned that not every project is going to turn
out the way you hoped and to just keep trying or try a different
project if this happens.

From Phil's presentation I learned that there will be tons of smaller
experiments to be tested inside our main project. To continue, Iearned
that even if things aren't going as we would like that we shouldn't
give up.

[JJ G]

1. In the background/history section, he told us that electric cars were stirring up in the community.  However, when gas prices went down, it seemed that people suddenly were uninterested in the electric car because people could just buy gasoline.  Additionally, he explained about how long it took to charge electric cars which took approxmiately five hours.

2. He showed us funny looking cars!   In the cars he showed us, he explained how good the mileage of each car was which was 90-120 miles per gallon.  In addition, he explained how the car engine was ripped out of the car. 

3. From this car project, I can use this user interface to present my data.  It was really easy to follow and he included a lot of pictures.  I will use this to present my project in a way that people can understand.

[Nick Langer]

1. In the presentation Phil explained to us the type of electric cars
that he had been working on. He also told us why electric cars were
becoming more popular to own and why there was a push to create more
electric cars.

2. Phil told us about what kind of car he was doing his current
research on and what materials he used to modify the car.

3. One thing that I want to take from Phil's presentation to my
presentation is predicting the results of the experiment before it is
finished so that we might have a rough idea of what to expect.

[Eco-Edie]

1. Phil gave a historical overview of electric cars, stating that we
had the necessary parts to make an electric car back in the 1800s,
when Thomas Edison first created one. He also mentioned the increase
in oil prices over the years.

2. Phil showed us the car he was working with (Ford F150) and how he
removed parts from the motor and how he was modifying it.

3. I want to make sure to be very clear about details and what our
experiment is about. I also want to make our presentation attractive
so more people will be interested, like Phil did.

[Caroline Kealoha]

1.In the historical part of Phil's literature review, he talked about how electric cars were made during times that gas prices were rising and there was a need for more fuel efficient cars. He also talked about how the first electric cars were not very popular in the mid 1800s because they ran so slowly.

2.Two things that Phil told us about in his materials and methods are: he used a ford f150; and he tested the fuel efficiency of the electric ford f150 by removing the engine and adding in an electric engine.

3.From Phil's project I learned that it is good to predict what might happen to your results, but also be open to any changes that occur during the experiment that effect your predicted results.

[kevin Hsu]

Phil talked about the historical overview of gas prices increasing and EV's.

Phil told us the parts of the car that were important to his work and
he told us what products he purchased from certain companies.

I am taking away from Phil's presentation that scientific research
projects can be about a really big and impactful subject that can be
very complex. It just takes longer to do. Also, electrical vehicles
are definitely a good thing to have around.

[Hope Richter]

1. Phil talked about his previous research on the topic like the
history of electric cars and common problems had with them, He also
talked about problems with gas cars.

2. As far as materials and methods go Phil mention what a typical
engine is composed of and also how he planned on changing the system
to improve it.

3. I am taking away that you have to keep working hard at something
until you achieve it. Also I am taking away that thinking outside the
box and solving problems creatively is also a very good thing to
practice.

[Levi Holscher]

two items phil told us about were the history of electric cars and how
gas prices are related to that

two items he told us about our materials and methods were how he got
the ford f 150 and figured out exactly how good its gas mileage was.

I will be able to take form his presentation to try and have a good
amount of history behind the subject so others can see how this idea
has progressed throughout time.

[Jennifer Wourms]

1.) Phil told us the history of the electric car and also explained
the methods he was using to create the electric circuit for the EV
vehicle.

2.) Phil told us about the types of electrical engine, batteries, and
cars he used for his project.

3.) I am seeing that I should start working on my project early in
order to get all of the parts together and working and meet with my
mentor for assistance. I also learned that there should be sparse
words in my presentation poster and more pictures to display how my
project works and is easier for others to understand.

[YuJu Fang]

one: Phil gave the history of electrical cars and how they were recieved. He explained why they weren't on the market in the 1800's.

two: Phil mentioned the Ford F150 as his new car project and he explained how the different parts will increase efficiency and the sensors monitor how well the car functions after modification. He also researched the car and gathered information before modification.

three: I have a better idea of how the project is supposed to look in a general sense and that an attractive presentation really makes a difference to most people. I also understand that a project that really impacts our everyday lives, such as a more efficient car, will gather more interest than, say, how tadpoles mate.

[Karina Orasud]

1. In his literature review, Phil explained the history behind electric cars dating back from 4000 B.C. to more recent advancements. He also explained the increase in gas prices in years past.

2. In the materials and methods portion, Phil told us about how he modified the Ford F150 and the gas mileage before and after the changes took place. He also explained the basic parts of a car and what he did to his car to make it more efficient.

3. From Phil's presentation, I can gather that you may need to simplify your project in ways that others can clearly understand it. Also, you should be open to any results you get because even if your results were unexpected, you can learn very much from them.

[Esther K.]

1. Two items Phil told us was the history of electric car which was
invented in the 1860s and what changed it to become gas cars instead.
He also showed us different types of fuel efficient cars such as the
Carbon Sparrow.

2. Two items that Phil talked about for his materials and methods is
that he used a Ford F150 for his project and the electric batteries
needed to power the car that would weigh a total of around 700 pounds.

3. From Phil's presentation I am able to realize that although the
electric car he is trying to create is not working quite yet, you can
still make a good presentation out of it. Also I realized that putting
lots of background history into your topic would keep the audience
interested in what you're talking about.

[Jackson Merle]

1. Phil told us about the history of electric cars, from the 1800s to
the present day, covering such cars as the Chevy Volt and the Corbin
Sparrow. He also told us about the project to put up enough electric
car charge stations to drive from Bellingham to the California-Mexico
border.

2. Phil told us about how he took out the engine of his truck and
replaced it with the electric engine. He also told us about how he
used the truck to collect data, eg: measuring the MPG, and weighing
the truck, among others.

3. Phil spoke very loudly and clearly, and I am going to remember to
speak loudly and clearly when I am doing my presentation. Phil also
answered questions with no signs of uncertainty, something that I am
going to do during my presentation.

[Phuong-Anh Vu]

1. Phil told us about the invention of electrical vehicles and he also explained the reasons why they were replaced by gas powered vehicles.

2. Phil explained to us how he modified the Ford F150 by replacing the engine with an electrical one as well as the different parts of the car.

3. Phil talked about how difficulties could actually work to your advantage and that a project that is more useful to us is much more fascinating than projects that assess things that we do not encounter in our daily lives.

Phil told us about the historical overview/ background information
about electrical vehicles. He also told us about why electrical
vehicles are so important in today's society.

> 2. Name two items that Phil told us about his Materials and Methods.

Phil mentioned what type of engine he is going to use, what type
of truck (an F150), and that he was going to use lithium
batteries. He said that he the engine in the car would be removed
and replaced
with an energy efficient engine.

> 3. What are you taking from Phil's presentation to your project or
presentation?

Phil's project hasn't been conclusive yet, so I learned that in
order to have a good project you have to keep trying and never
give up.
Science is something where you may not get results the first time
around, but if you keep working at it you'll see results.

[arya pathak]

Phil taught us about different types of electric cars and their
inventors, and he also explained why electric cars were becoming
accepted in society more, along with how smaller cars save more
energy. And for materials he included the types of cars he bought and
he went in to detail about the engine. I learned that lookig back at
past investigation will help you understand your topic better and that
they are can always be more research done on the same topic, because
every question will never be answered.

Arya pathak




The method he used was that he went back and looked at Previous
researches for background information.

1. Phil first talked about the history of the EV (from Thomas Edison in 1890s?). He also talked about the cost of gasoline and the issues that have arisen.  Lastly, he talked about some of the advances and how his project advances on the pre-exisiting research.

2.  He told us that he used the Corbin Sparrow  he showed us the engine he used. He also showed us the ford f150 he used.

3.  In order for a project to have a successful project, the system does not have to work, you only have to have found changes that helped.  Also, a project is never over, there are always more advancements to come.

[Jonathan Ho]

> He told us about the background of the electric vehicle and how each component of the electric vehicle was created many years before the first production electric vehicles. Also, he told us of how the oil crisis in the 1970s pushed scientists to find more efficient vehicles and that forced some car companies to produce some electric vehicles.

1. Two items Phil told us that were included in his oral literature review was his historical overview of his topic, for example gas prices. Also he told us why their is an increasing increase in electric cars as compared to the past

2. Two items in is methods and materials were his truck, a Ford F 150, and he explained his method for taking apart the car.

 

3. I am taking from phils project presentation that even if your experiment doesn't come out with conclusive results or not the data you were hoping for, you can still use it to draw conclusions and come closer to the answer your seeking.

1. Two items that were included in Phil's oral literature review was
the background information about the birth of the first electric car
and why it became gradually replaced by the gas car. He also broached
the topic of the progress in EVs and showed previous advancements such
as the Corbin Sparrow and the significance it has on present day
research.

2.In the materials and methods section of the lecture, the method that
was most stressed upon was about the dissection of the Ford F150 and
the modifications that were going to be conducted on it, namely the
installation of commmerical lithium iron phosphate batteries total
weighing about 750 pounds. Another part mentioned in this section that
was significant was his materials, consisting of the truck and the
batteries.

3. From this lecture, it struck me that science is a imperfect art
that yields rewards. The results of my experiment may not seem
relevant, but it is generally known that it will make an impact later
as more advancements are discovered. I learned that in spite of
adversity, the experiment is never finished and you should not give up
on it because of an inconclusive result.

[Gabriel Lopes]

1. Phil started off telling us about the history of electric vehicles
(e.v.’s) including the first one in 1891. Then he later went on to
explain his materials and methods.
2. Phil told us that for his research truck he bought a Ford F-150
that got about 20 something miles on the freeway. Then he later went
on to explain each individual part that they were changing and how
they wanted to at the least keep its performance the same in every
attribute.
3. I took that sometimes your experiment can get complicated and take
a lot of effort from different people. In addition, it takes time to
get a good idea to take off, we learned with Phil’s project that after
all this time it isn’t quite up and running yet.

Yours Truly,

Two items Phil told us about that were included in his oral lit.
review are the different types of eletric vehicels he has created, and
about the background of eletric cars (such as we have had the
technolodgy avalible for a long time to create eletric cars.)

Two items Phil told us about in his materials and methods section are
the type of car along with all the general facts about it including
the weight before they did anything to it, and what they modified
about the car including the weight and the new eletric engine.

One thing I will take with me is that yoiu dont need to solve all the
little things you just need to take into acount that their there. I
also learned that the proper way to avoid a question is "We did not
come across that in are studdies but that would be interesting too
follow up on.

[Acacia Tree]

For the two items I noticed in Phil's lit review, I'd have to mention the different background areas he told us about. This would include the Sparrow and the explanation of why we can make electric cars. I found the concept of having them for a hundred years fascinating, especially when compared to his oral timeline on oil. 

Next, I found the measures he took to keep his controlled variables in check the most important bit of the materials and methods section. He had experts concur with his vehicle parts choices, and made sure they would all work. Otherwise, his data would be responded to a supposedly controlled area of the investigation. The extra information on the process he used to get the Ford ready was nice as well.

I loved the idea that your project doesn't need to be finished, concluded, or reasonable. You can still present the information in a way that makes you seem successful. I have a feeling we'll need to do this with my MST group, the idea of a windmill being far fetched. When Phil didn't know much about something he said he didn't know. But he still sounded knowledgeable because he didn't force an answer based perhaps falsely from his data. This would be a good technique with the SEF judges. 

Thank you Phil!
