From the wikipedia:
A walkthrough is a term describing the consideration of a process at an abstract level. The term is often employed in the software industry (see software walkthrough) to describe the process of inspecting algorithms and source code by following paths through the algorithms or code as determined by input conditions and choices made along the way. The purpose of such code walkthroughs is generally to provide assurance of the fitness for purpose of the algorithm or code; and occasionally to assess the competence or output of an individual or team.
Something akin to walkthroughs are used in very many forms of human endeavour since the process is a thought experiment that seeks to determine the likely outcome(s) of an affair based on starting conditions and the effects of decisions taken.
Your assignment:
This paper is a reflection of the design process you initiated in the Dry Dock assignment, where you designed and created boats for the design challenge. Please create a 3 page document that includes images from Autodesk inventor, the perspectives from your notebook, and the final version of your constructed boat. Each picture should be explained. You should talk about the process of the boat construction from your initial design, to the finished boat.
key terms for this assignment are:
Prototype, Research, Testing, Iterative, Process, and Annotation.
These terms should be used in the paper.
You should also discuss and explain your design choices as they relate to:
Surface Area, Force, Resistance, Speed, Stability, balance, and center of gravity.
You should conclude your paper with statistics of the competitions and discuss how your boat did, how other boats compared, and what looked to be design factors that led to the greatest success in the competitions.
In essence, the paper needs to document and describe the design process from beginning to end, and then provide data about the race outcomes and what design attributes made for the best performing boats.
