Hope everyone is staying safe from hurricane Ian this week. Even though this school week has been cut in half, we were able to complete and submit our first-month report containing the following:

• Introduction
  • Project Objectives
  • Design and Prototype Expectations
• Literature Review
  • Homomorphic Filtering
  • Non-contact Ultrasonic Inspection
  • Co-Planar Array Capacitive Sensing
• Preliminary Product Design Specifications
  • Interactions Diagram
  • House of Quality
  • Technical Performance Measure
• Concept Generation
  • Concept Matrix (Capacitive, Metal Detection, Thermal Imaging Optical, Ultrasonic)
• Project Roadmap – Fall Semester

The list above only shows broadly what we wrote about. The full table of contents can be found in the report. This first month’s report is mainly used to prepare our team for the preliminary design review (PDR) on the week of October 17th with our sponsor, Northrop Grumman. We plan on continuing concept generation in the coming weeks and constructing our preliminary design report.
