Week of 12/5/18

For the week of  12/5/18 we have begun to work on the final project report. The workload will be distributed equally among all 3 group members and we hope to finish our first draft by the 14th and use the rest of the time to make any necessary revisions. I am still gathering more information from the 3M companies to get back to use on their potential use for our project. With the unfortunate news that the SSDC will no longer be allowing us the given space we are a bit uncertain about the future of our project. If we need to scale down the project and build a miniature version of it we could potentially build a full set of canopies to get a better idea of how they would look stretched out on the track.

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

Week 9/5/2018

For the week of 9/5/2018 we were tasked with our first presentation, not having been added to the class on canvas left us a little bit in the dark with what to do. We came together in the end and we were able to have a presentation up summarizing our problem statement and our objectives. Going forward we are going to need to work on communication and better planning in order to succeed in our projects. -Francisco Trejo
