What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
This week, I focused on finishing up the design review slides and preparing for the design review presentation, since I was the designated presenter for our group this week. I helped out mostly on restructuring the use case and design requirements to make sure they were more tightly coupled and working on my presentation skills. I also helped out with finalizing our BOM and submitting purchase orders, since getting all our purchase orders in was our group’s main goal for this week. I also worked on finishing up the CAD for the enclosure, which mainly included finalizing all the dimensions and spacings so that we’re hopefully able to start and finish manufacturing everything next week.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I’d say that my progress is on schedule with our original Gantt chart we made. According to that schedule, I was supposed to finish up the CAD this week and manufacture everything next week, and these tasks line up with what I did last week and what I’m planning to do this upcoming week.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
This next week, my main focuses will be manufacturing (laser cutting) and assembling the entire enclosure, as well as working on completing the design review report.
