This week marks an exciting start to our two-semester long design journey. Myself and 5 others found ourselves assigned to the Duke Energy Water Treatment Improvement project on Friday, introduced ourselves via 2-sentence bio in our shared teams channel on Monday, and devised the foolproof method of finding each other – “I’ll be wearing a bright blue suit jacket” – only to discover that there were already small paper signs in class designating where we were to congregate. From there we were thrown into the flurry of weekly assignments – status memo, class notebook, blog post – as well as our first team tasks. We’ve been busy, to be sure, but we’re all thrilled to get started on our project!
