Hands-on experience of assembling a PC by following step-by-step instructions.
PC assembly is a fascinating process that combines technical knowledge with hands-on skills.
Assembling each component, from the CPU to the RAM and hard disk, requires precision and attention to detail.
PC assembly not only enhances technical proficiency but also instills a sense of accomplishment as the completed build powers up successfully.
I learned how to assemble a PC from identifying components to connecting cables.
Here are the steps to assemble a PC:
PC Disassembly:
PC Reassembly:
Generated an idea for a prototype, the 'Electric Stove Controller' and worked through five phases: empathized, defined, ideated, prototyped, and tested.
(Includes a simulation of the Electric Stove Controller App)
My goal in taking this course is to gain a deep understanding of concepts in the network and security field and develop practical skills to contribute meaningfully to the industry. Design thinking is essential for achieving this goal as it provides a structured approach to problem-solving, encouraging creativity and user-centric solutions. It equips me with a mindset that values iteration, collaboration, and continuous improvement enhancing my problem-solving abilities and innovation. To further improve my potential, I plan to engage in real-world projects, collaborate with diverse teams, and seek feedback consistently. I also aim to stay informed about industry trends, technologies, and best practices to remain agile and well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities in the field of study.
Furthermore, there are a few improvements that can be made for our project. As we all know, nowadays, we also have the Thermomix cooker, which actually has more advanced features than our electric stove controller prototype. Despite the expensive cost of the Thermomix, it boasts good features that require less human intervention, as many functions can be controlled without physical interaction. So, I think we could have done better if we were aware of this, and maybe we can create a better prototype for a low-cost Thermomix cooker with the best functions and features. Therefore, I realize that we didn't conduct enough research in the cooking field during the ideation phase. In the future, my goal is to conduct thorough research before initiating any project. This approach will enable us to attain a higher level of understanding and better align with the project's purpose.
