Monday, October 15, 2012. The project we had was to disassemble an everyday appliance. From this we then had to identify the materials and come up with some improvements. The appliance we were given was an iron. We realised that the iron had many more parts than we originally thought, and hence it was taking us longer than expected. Eventually we got there, and asked to cut the heat plate in half so that we could see all the internal channels. We also suggested that it could be easier to disassemble, but.
