Finals Week - NO CLASS MEETING
|
Finals Week Activities: Your coursework obligations for Finals Week are to compile and submit final written reports, complete and submit CDR videos, and complete all necessary component ordering. |
|
At the close of the semester, all groups should have completed preparations to enable component fabrication to begin promptly in Spring Semester:
- The component and system designs should be completed, and well-documented with an accurate and professionally-prepared engineering drawing set.
- The chosen design should be backed up with a thorough and correct analysis.
- Orders for ALL required parts and materials should have been submitted.
- A complete manufacturing plan should be ready for implementation.
- Sponsors and Faculty Advisors should be in-the-loop and supportive of the next steps.
If your group cannot claim these milestones by the end of the term, your project is
in jeopardy.
Work smart to ensure you are poised for success in the upcoming semester!
Have a great break, and be safe. See you in the Fall...
