Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
No meeting due to Thanksgiving.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Slides were too text-heavy, and lacked graphics
More diagrams added and text shortened to key points
Need more background in presentation, including current setup
Background slides added and improved
Got current tubes and samples.
Start spending money
Some materials for risk reduction have been ordered already
Risks and Areas of Concern
Time to wait for delivery (2 weeks).
3D printing is unrealistic.
Testing method: does it need to be more quantitative?
The current plan is to use scalpels to make incisions and cannulas to attempt to tear the material samples we collect. Photos of all the tears and notes from the tester will help us document the differences and compare materials
Schedule
Next week:
Begin comparative testing on the materials for our risk reduction
Create risk reduction presentation
