We’ve been working hard this past week to establish a project roadmap to follow for the semester. We have a series of deadlines we need to hit throughout the project development, including our Prototype Inspection Day and System Level Design Review, so we want to make sure we’re staying on schedule.

We met with our coach Dr. Tocco and received some advice for conducting background research in preparation for our upcoming meeting at Milliken. Our chemical engineers have been hard at work understanding the chemistry behind producing VTMS so we can be prepared to convert the batch system to continuous.

This week the entire IPPD class met with FPL for a team-building workshop. We all received certificates for White Belt training as part of the Six Sigma organization, learning about improving quality and processes for better product development. We’re excited to apply what we learned to our own project moving forward!
