To conclude, the project was a success. The team was able to apply the knowledge acquired throughout two years of studies in the Electromechanical Technician program at Fanshawe College.
Electric and mechanical systems were integrated to create a solution that collects debris floating in water. The prototype was fully assembled, and manual and automatic modes of operation were validated.
Furthermore, important lessons regarding project management were also learned. The project's closing depicts SPI at 1.29 and CPI at 1.06. Finishing ahead of time and under budget showed the team's capability to adapt to changes during the project phases. Some task duration estimations were poorly done, but in the end, the project was a success in efficiency.
Buying materials in bulk, delegating one single team member per task, planning future tasks, and having a contingency budget are lessons learned that will be carried out for future projects.
