Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Decided on Individual Component Analysis topics and began research on these components.
Met with sponsor to discuss design proposal and gathered more information about design components and signal processing.
Met with collaborator Dr. Sam Ward and received clarification on design specifications and functional requirements.
Met with collaborator Robert Bussell to discuss further about signal processing and fiber optic wiring.
Distributed work among team members for continued research and component analysis.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Continued to contacted sponsors and collaborators about prior research.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Use Individual Component Analysis to decide on design proposal (team).
Decide on a design proposal and prepare for 12 minute team presentation on Tuesday 4/10 (team).
Continue contact with collaborators and ask remaining technical questions (team).
Begin purchasing materials for design and review signal processing requirements (team).
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Correspond with collaborators and look further into signal processing options, which we addressed by meeting with Robert Bussell and Dr. Ward.
