The Product:
Product Creation and Outcome
The creation of the product was the most important and fun part of the project creation. In the creation of the product, I learnt and acquired loads of new skills as well as improved some skills. The first step for the product creation, would be the research process. This part of the project was difficult as there wasn't much information available on this subject since it was a new and upcoming section of the medical industry. It was also important since I would have to write the advantages and disadvantages and compare it to the traditional surgical techniques. After I had gathered all the information, I began creating the website. The website creation was time consuming as I wasn't very experienced in that field. I created the website and added all the information while creating a new section for the robotic limb creation. To create the robotic limb, I had to research different parts from different producers in order to find a fitting model for my project. I then built the robotic limb which was quite fun and then explained the process in the final section of my website. As I went ahead with my product, I kept logging my advancements so that it could make the final report writing process simpler and a lot shorter. The final report consisted of four different sections (one for each criterion). In the criterion A part of the project, I had to analyze and explain the different aspects of my topic. In criterion B, I had to organize all aspects of my project such as the time management. In the criterion C section, I had to explain everything related to the product such as its creation. In criterion D, I had to reflect on all aspects of my project such as the skills that were used in my project. The report writing and product were completed following the deadlines and specifications I had set for myself in the Action Plan and the Criteria. It was very challenging for the outcome of the product to match the requirements of the specifications.
Reflection
The creation of the personal project was a new and challenging experience for me since I had never done anything of the sort. I had acquired and learnt loads of new skills along the way and I had developed my knowledge about robotic surgery. In the research process, I had acquired the most information and knowledge about robotic surgery. That portion of the project required me to use my research skills. In the creation of the website, I had learnt a lot about website creating which allowed me to organize the information I had gathered in the research process. I also had to use my research skills in that section as I had to learn how to create a website. The creation of the robotic limb was the most fun part of the project as I had learnt a lot about how to build different things. The creation of the product required a lot of self management and time management skills as I had to organize the way i would have to work on the project in order to make sure that I had everything completed within the given time frame. I had to keep in mind the different deadlines that were set in place in order to submit drafted parts of the final report that would later be refined and modified. Looking back at the project, there are a lot of things that could have been done in a more efficient way however, the project was still successful and the end product was able to complete its goal.
