#3 Concept Generation

In-class concept generation activity
Birefringence idea from Dr. Ifju during coach meeting

This past week, we narrowed our solution pool to ultrasonic, capacitance, and metal detection devices after discussing with our coach and liaison engineers. We plan to determine each method’s feasibility through intensive research and determine the best form of implementing the device into Northrop Grumman’s composite manufacturing process.

Currently, we are constructing a detailed road map to give us a better visualization of project completion. In the coming weeks, we plan on doing the following:

  • Deliver our first monthly report to detail progress and project direction
  • Northrop Grumman site visit
  • Acquire pre-preg material for future testing

We also plan on presenting our project design report to Northrop Grumman on the week of October 17th. We are super excited about how things are rolling and hope to see you next week on our blog!
