This week, our team began to further consider the stakeholders and requirements of our project.

We scheduled an additional meeting with our LDRAM liaison, Dr. Subhash, in order to ensure that we were on track with understanding our project. On Tuesday, we continued the discussion of the fundamental principles that the mechanical switch box is founded on. Then, after completing the stakeholder and specifications assignments during this week’s class, on Wednesday we began to delve into possible metrics for our project.

We also met as a team this Friday morning to discuss our Product Design Specifications and begin working on a draft. Moving forward, we are continuing to research different components that will be necessary for our design, such as the solenoid and striker rods.
