Week 4/17/19

For the week of 4/17/19 I finished creating a 9 panel array for the presentation and also met with professor Furman on tuesday to inquire more about our current progress. We found some additional purlins that might be beneficial along with a gator clamp which is exactly what we need to clamp the panels underneath. I am reaching out to the company to get a quote and learn more about their purlins. I will also set up a to-do list so the other can have tangible goals to accomplish by the time we meet with the professor next week. The end is near but there is still a lot left to do.

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
