Week of 10/17/18

For the week of 10/17/18 we were able to start constructing our powerpoint for presentation number 2. We looked over the comments left from presentation 1 and discussed n how we can further address those issues and improve. Further development for the CAD models are under way and expect to have 2/3 different designs by Oct 31. Weekly zoom meetings are proving to be very beneficial on top of meeting on wednesdays so we will continue to keep that up as the semester goes by.

Week 5/8/19

For the week of 5/8/19 we had our prototype evaluation. Overall the professor and Ron seemed very pleased with our final product. We had met our design goals and we were given some further advice on how to improve the structure of the canopy. We then prepared the presentation for friday. I took the lead on the presentation and had tasks assigned for each of us to complete. We were more than prepared for our presentation for Friday and I believe it is our best one yet. -Francisco Trejo
