I learned quite a great deal from his presentation. Aside from enjoying his name, I learned a lot about something called fair use. I find this idea of fair use an interesting one because, the rise of youtube poses a new challenge to this idea, and with professional youtubers producing and making a living off of videos about other’s content. In an increasingly digital world, I think that with the sharing of more and more ideas and content is certainly a good thing. We must remain vigilant to make sure that everyone is getting their due credit. After all, I would want to receive credit for my work.

Argument with sources

Thesis:

While carbon fiber is not as cost effective as traditional materialsas innovations in fuel efficiency decrease, engineers  must look at other areas of  the car to improve efficiency.  with the use of carbon fiber, cars would be more efficient, and   there would be less greenhouse gasses.  With the added strength attributed to carbon fiber, cars would be safer. 

 

Argument:

Carbon fiber , due to  new government regulations is becoming increasingly more attractive for use in automotive applications. This is because while powertrain technologies are advancing, they are not advancing at a fast enough pace to maintain and increase fuel efficiency. As a result, The weight of the car must be decreased in order to reach the goals set forth in the new regulations. However, carbon fiber’s use does not come without its caveats. Carbon fiber is known for being difficult and time consuming to work with. If carbon fiber can be designed and manufactured in a manner that would allow for high volume production, there would be no question about if carbon fiber should be used in automotive manufacturing.

This source covers the design of a composite panel for high volume production in the automotive industry

both of the authors work at FCA or fiat/Chrysler of America, which is a huge automotive company

I chose this source because it speaks about the way one would design a panel for high volume, which would be needed in order for widespread use

this article is three years old, so a lot of the material is very much still relevant

i found this article on academic search complete, through osu libraries

this source covers why one would chose carbon fiber over other materials when building a car

the authors are engineers who research carbon fiber and are knowledgeable when it comes to writing about its properties

i chose this source because it helps make a case on why carbon fiber would be a better material than steel or aluminum

the article is only six years old and the properties of carbon fiber have not changed since then.

this was chosen because it  speaks of how carbon fiber can be repaired and/or when it should be replaced

this author is credible because he has written numerous articles on various applications of carbon fiber in the automotive industry

i chose this, because it helps support the argument that carbon fiber can be repaired, rather than needing to be completely replaced after a crash or other damage

this article is only six years old and the process for repairing carbon fiber has not changed since then
