Welcome to the team Electric Eye blog post for the week of 11/15! This week has been extremely productive for our team as we received some amazing feedback on our prototypes and had an opportunity to discuss one of our planned detection technologies with an experienced engineer from FPL. We’ve been given plenty to think about, and at a great moment in our project’s development for this semester; with our System Level Design Review quickly approaching, much of the feedback we received will be extremely helpful for our preparation.
Prototype Inspection Day Retrospective
This Tuesday was Prototype Inspection Day for all IPPD teams, and the day was a great success for team Electric Eye! We had a chance to show our prototypes to experienced engineers who were able to give amazing feedback on our current designs and directions we should take to enhance them. One aspect of the day that we felt happy about was our preparedness! For many of the questions we received, our team had answers that our judges were satisfied with. We communicated our ideas effectively and because of that our feedback was more specific and allowed for our judges to extend their expertise to us. On a more general note, this was our team’s first in-person presentation besides those done in front of our peers. We are very happy with how our presentations went and feel confident for those we’ll be giving in the future! We also were able to meet our coach in-person for the first time! The event was a great experience and we are all happy to have been able to participate in it.
Next week, we will be presenting our SLDR to our peers! We’ve taken time this week to get prepared for our presentation, using the feedback we’ve received to prepare ourselves. Thank you for reading this week’s blog post from team Electric Eye!
