OUR SCHOOLS

  1. When testing our product we plan on using the aesthetic approach because of our product we want to look different from the average school. Our school's main purpose is to be more pleasing to students. Also, we wanted to have different structures to the buildings and the hallways. We already figured out the cost of the whole school.

  2. Engineers use stress to test how much force the product can withhold until it breaks or dents. Engineers also use a strain test to test the length when the product is under stress. Tensile testing is used to pull apart the product until failure. When tension is released the product should move back into its original shape, for example, a spring. When using the tensile test the product may reach its elastic limit until it reaches a rupture point.

  3. I believe products are mostly tested for aesthetics, ergonomics. safety, and durability because of how common it is for the human to use. LIke an iPhone the phone is very aesthetic it is a very cool design that people use which is the aesthetic part. The ergonomics is that the phone is very easy to use for the person and it isn't hard to figure out. For safety its how it can handle in a certain environment, you would not want it to blow up. Also, durability for how long it would last until the consumer will have to buy or replace the new product.

  4. By assessing the other past questions it helps me with my product. It helps by the more detail I should put into my design and also how it will affect the other person and how durable it should be. It gives me a better insight

  5.  The aesthetics for our product is very modern on how it is structure. Our overall purpose to not make it look very traditional to the modern school. We don't want basic structures we want to out do it but also make it safe for those who attend the school.

  6.  Our buildings are not too high to a point of being uncomfortable our buildings will have the average height of 40 feet  or of 4 stories. But our tallest building will be 5 stories tall or 50 feet. Our connecting hallways will be more close to the ground of 20 feet. The space in the hallway is 15 feet for maximum comfortability. The building with will all be around 30 feet on each side.

  7.  We will be using the same building material as common buildings but our more aesthetic designed buildings. Will have certain modifications when made so it can form the shape that we want for that specific building. Also when we are adding up the performance of the building it will be up to par because we want it to be safe and also where have it located we want it to be able to withstand harsh conditions such as earthquakes and storms etc. So our cost will be a bit more than average compared to the average school of 25 million.

What We Use 

  1. Concrete- to have the area of the school foundation on also to shape some of the buildings that will be on the campus and give it a strong foundation so in case there are accidents the building will last for a long time. It would have to go through the stress test to see how long it will last throughout the years and also the aesthetic test because it needs to be very appealing.  

  2. Stained glass- this for the windows in our school plus for the connecting hallways from building to building. Also it would have to go through the stress test so we know how much pressure it can withstand just incase of a freak accident and our students will not fall out the window or incase someone decides to break the window.

  3. Metal- This is going to be used for our building structures and keep it strong so incase of earthquakes they can withstand also for our dome building and the ones that are shaped weird. Its for an easier process and also it gives us a wide range. It will go through the strain and stress cause the metal we will use is gonna go through a lot of pressure frequently.

  4. Plastic- it will be used for the air and moisture for the buildings for air and moisture membranes. Also we will use it for the carpet textile and for adhesive tapes. It can go through the aesthetic and strain test.

  5. Foam- we will have foam in our buildings to have the buildings to keep the air inside our building and make everything very contained. It will go through the stress and strain test.

  6. Bricks- the bricks are for our very small buildings that are in a simple shape and not very aesthetically pleasing like the others. It will be an easy build also the test we put it through is the strain and stress test. Since bricks are very flimsy and very breakable under greats amount of stress and how long it will be.
