This week we finished our prototype inspection day and presented to some judges. We received some very valuable feedback on our project and had a lot of our questions answered. We had a great time presenting the work we’ve accomplished and showing off the prototype that we created last week. We’ve been working very hard to come up with interesting ways to present our project to those that don’t have a large background in ECM systems, and we were very glad to hear all the positive feedback we gained from our presentation.

We’ve also been working on continuing the development on the current prototype of our ECM system using one of the chosen products from our trade study. As we’ve been developing it, we’ve come to realize that it might not meet some of the security requirements that Raytheon needs. Because of this, we’ve also been identifying areas in the application that we can enhance with some custom applications. Nearly all of the ECMs that we researched in our trade study have APIs that we can leverage to create custom applications so we feel confident that if there are any features that are missing in the ECM we choose, we can make up for them by implementing them ourselves. These are our plans for the next semester, as we hope to finish prototyping our current system by the end of the year.
