Special Thanks

So, now that I'm done with everything, except the product presentation, I'd like to give a special thanks to my close friend, Yareli Castro because with out her my senior presentation wouldn't be possible. The reason I say this is because I was in jeopardy of getting kicked out of iPoly because I didn't have mentorship or a mentor. She talked to her uncle and hooked me up with a mentor and mentorship. So thank you Yareli. I owe you a lot. 

I'm done!

So, today I had my 2 hour presentation and successfully met speaking time and overall presentation time. I guess I'm graduating now! 

Senior project reflection

1) I'm most proud of my activity 1 because it was teaching the people in my presentation how to properly do an oil change by finding the filter and the oil needed for their car using a makeshift oil pan that I made. 

2a) P

2b) P

3) My mentorship worked for me the most. 

4) I would go back and change the date that I started my mentorship. I would have asked my friends if they knew anyone that I could do mentorship with because Yareli was actually the one the got me my mentorship. 

5) My senior project has mostly helped me with understanding cars, how they work and how to fix them. I learned all of this through my mentorship because I actually got to work on cars and gain first hand knowledge and experience about how to repair cars, which will devotedly come in hand in the future in case I decide to go into auto mechanics as a a career or just decide that I want to work on my car. 

Ceramic Engines?

So, apparently they're thinking of making engines out of ceramic now because they would be able to operate at higher temperatures which would lead to better efficiency, less pollutants, and better fuel economy. The only problem is that the sensors integrated into the engine wouldn't be able to withstand such high temperatures of heat, so scientists are figuring out a way to make it so that the sensors can withstand that type of heat.
