I am 4th year mechanical engineering student in addis ababa science and technology university,through out my stay in the university i am growing with concepts of heat transfer, thermodynamics, strength of material, fluid mechanics.I have the quality of making design for mechnaical components using solidwork and also i have the knowledge for the analytical analysis of those components.
our group meets for the first time and introduce each other,after that we were going to meet with the advisor in order to get the general concept of IETP and recieving the road map that we must follow throughout the project.we were ready for the next chapter.
This week is brainstorming session which was basically for raising ideas for our project title and discussing debating on them to come up with the best idea for the project.we had top three ideas that we agreed on them to present for the advisor,after that we came up with the tomato powder production title.
In this week we began to develop the project proposal to persuade the organizers in order to have the budget to grow our idea to a prototype.We had our own role in the project as a team for example my role was to conclude the written proposal idea in a best way to finalize and make it attractive for the reader.we spend this week like that.
The proposal had a review by our advisor we collect the comments to improvise our proposal to the best final compiled proposal form.
We kick off the project,my responsibiity is to think about the idea and find ways to make the project possible in mechanical way.
In this week we decided on the course of our project and identifying the materials that we are going to use in mechanical and electrical sides and making price list. we presented to the advisor and get an approval and funding.
In this week we have reached to the final stage of the product,we finalize minor things and ready for final evaluation, we appreciate ourself despite the difficulties we faced throughout our progress we finished it.
we began building our prototype while continuing to procure materials. However,challenges with cutting sheet metal and RHS led to delays and required assistance from senior student.despite these setbacks,we made progress and successfully completedthe preparation of dried tomatoes in the lab
