Hello everyone, this past week was very busy for the team as we traveled to Milliken to present our Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the project. This presentation was a combination of all our research for the project, our proposed plan and an outline of the risks associated with the project. We’re very happy to report that our liaison engineers had nothing but positive feedback to give, and that we’re both on the same page in terms how we will actually produce VTMS through a continuous process.

This week the team also attended 2 professional development workshops put on by IPPD, where we explored the idea of divergent thinking for generating creative ideas and received career tips applicable for engineers entering the industry for the first time. Looking forward, the group will begin diving into Aspen Plus to start simulating our industrial-scale process in preparation for the System Level Design Review (SLDR) in December. We’re very excited to begin work modeling the process, and we hope you’ll continue to follow our progress moving forward!
