Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Fabrication of prototypes is in progress
More designs have been developed but need to be presented to Solar Turbines
Test bed is almost done but requires welding
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Build a prototype of 1 design
Test bed is almost complete
Discussed thread requirements and received guidance from Isaih
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Finish test bed (welding); verify angle
Finish building atleast 2 of the prototypes; push for 3
Begin work on design other than boss
Review new designs with sponsor and if do-able, lay further ground work for prototyping
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Would like to see more design concepts Via person
More CAD/sketches have been made
Should build prototypes
Prototypes are currently being made; test best needs welding
