Weekly Progress Reports (see sidebar), the Gantt chart, and this Project Management page should be printed out before meetings with the sponsor and instructor.
All team members should be able to explain all items on the progress report.
Place a "*" at the beginning of the title of the active week Progress Report (see * in sidebar).
Project Objectives
High Priority Objectives
Still basic functioning bronchoscope
Working disconnect
Working actuation
Insertion tube <= 6.5 millimeters
Working camera/vision, lighting
Maintaining tension of wire that helps control tip deflection
Second Priority Objectives
Better electronics
Optimization (ex: camera)
Ergonomics
Reliability
Other Constraints and Issues
Disposability preferred (instead of long sterilization process)
Economically feasible
Tactile feedback (tip motion upon contact)
WOW Design Solution
Large working channel for endoscopic accessories (ex: scissor-like mechanism at tip)
Stereo vision, augmented/virtual reality
Have something like GPS parking guidelines for directing the insertion tube
Risk Reduction Strategy
Manufacturing techniques
Intermediate Milestones
Disconnect
Actuation
