My job
In this project my role as a materials engineer is to ensure that all the working parts in my tank are always running this includes things like the filter, heater and the lights and also make sure that the non-working parts stay clean and work well with the tank, this includes the decorations we have in the tank and the tank itself.
Tasks
Experiment proposal
For our experiment proposal we had to present our idea to the class and the teacher as a materials engineer my job was to make a Google Sketchup of our tank, an inventory spreadsheet of what we had in our tank, and a materials list which included the items we needed for our experiment.
Experiment Tank Designs
Below you can see the sketch up model of the two tanks I designed for our experiment. The two things we changed for our experiment were the background which was simple since it was a sheet behind the tank and the substrate.
