Now that we’re back from our short and sweet Thanksgiving break, it’s time to finish the semester strong. The System Level Design Review (SLDR) event is on December 6th, where we will be presenting what we learned through from our initial prototype and what we plan to accomplish over the spring semester.

To develop our report and presentation, we evaluated our fall prototype that we presented during Prototype Inspection Day by looking through feedback from our judges, coach, and liaisons. Our main improvements for the spring semester will be increasing the RFID reader range to around 30 feet, transporting data with a cellular connection instead of Wi-Fi, and developing a display and notification system for updated asset data.

We also ran through some test runs of our presentation, polishing up our speech and making sure our slides got our message across while not being overly technical. Overall, the team is well prepared for the presentation and is ready to end this semester strong. We’re looking forward to meeting the other sponsors and learning more about our fellow classmates during the SLDR event on Tuesday.
