Orientation Week #3

This week was to make a lightning talk presentation. We made slides on Google presentation, confirmed the data on the slides, assigned speakers for each slides, and practiced. I was not able to attend the presentation, but it went well. We also decided to design the cabin based on the Swedish version instead of last year small scale design.

Orientation Week #2

This week comprised of learning how to use Solidworks, and the 3D printer. We also talked about how to make a presentation, using a non-typical format. The presentation instruction was to help us set up our lightning talk presentation, which we are focusing on to finish for next week.

Orientation Week #1

This week was the introduction to the collaborative and being assigned to the individual teams. We learned about the history of the Spartan Superway, the teams that made it what it is today, and workshop where it being done. We were also introduced to Eric, the manager, Dr. Furman, the professor in charge of the project, and Ron Swanson, CEO of Futran and sponsors of the project. We were assigned to the individual groups. I was assigned to the Small Scale Cabin Design Team, and we created the blogs needed for the project. We also researched the past work done by the previous team, to write up report on it. We also developed a Gantt Chart for the month ahead.
