My passion project this year was an extension of my CLE project which was a model of a road.

Process:

I began my project by designing it in Fusion 360 after a beginning rough sketch. I made sure to put holes and openings into different areas of the road to mimic catch basins and pipes. The road I prototyped was divided into three layers, a base layer to connect it to the box like shape, a second layer, and a third layer to show the road shape and depth. I had to reprint seperate parts multiple times as they weren’t accurate to an actual engineer design.

This was the model that was initially created in fusion.

Poster-board:

I drew a road map of the pipes underneath a road and how they would be placed in an actual engineering map. Along the side of the map are real on-site pictures of the actual piping and road design, such as fire hydrants and catch basins.

Final Project Reveal: (yes… I know its sideways.. but the website WOULDN’T let me flip it.. so here it is….SIDEWAYS…)

Above is what the final project looked like after I printed it out with the laserbox in class. I designed all the little houses, trees, pipes, and lights with straws and creative placement.

Future plans: I will not be continuing this project for a multitude of reasons, but the main one was this project was not really interesting to me.
