Overview
For this project we had to break apart an object in order to better see how it works. We did this to learn about drawing schematics, learning about systems and and to learn about an object. Our group chose to break apart a toaster and learn more about it. We chose this object because it seems complex, but is really a simple system.

Reflection
This project went really well. We were able to find out a lot of information about the toaster and the products used to make it. We were able to write a detailed report and make a educational slideshow to teach the class about toasters. One difficulty of this project was the fact that we had multiple projects going on at once. We had to not only finish the report and slideshow, but also had to work on our resume and gant chart. This was a good practice of multitasking and wokring on multiple projects.
