Week 1

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

- Refining the Bill of Materials and Schedule for the quarter
- Learning to use and model with Pro/E
- Moving towards a Final Design Consideration

Accomplishments from Previous Week

- Completed a refined Bill of Materials
- Completed a refined schedule/Gantt chart
- Completed individual component analyses

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

- Make more in-depth Bill of Materials/Schedule
  - Action = Refined Bill of Materials using Excel and creating a flow chart of parts
  - Action = Created a more detailed schedule using Microsoft Project

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

- Complete Individual Component Analysis by 2nd class meeting of MAE 156B
  - Action = Completed Individual Component Reports

Risks and Areas of Concern

- The sponsor possibly wants us to create our own AC motor to measure the wind speed. This will most likely become a secondary goal, as we first plan to buy an AC motor to test and work with. The primary risk is: will a 5mph wind be strong enough to overcome the minimum torque required generate an electrical current from the AC motor?
- The team will have to learn to get used to 3D modelling in Pro/E. To do this each of us will reverse engineer a part.
