This week, our team made significant strides in developing a design concept. After thoroughly exploring various options based on individual background research, we were able to narrow down key design elements to align with the main objectives of the project. We then had the opportunity to present our concept generation slides to our liaison engineers, who responded positively, offering constructive feedback and reinforcing confidence that we are on the right track.  With this solid foundation in place, we have now transitioned to refining our initial draft of our Preliminary Design Review (PDR) report in preparation for presentations in the coming weeks.  

In IPPD this week, the team also had the opportunity to gain new insights into ideation techniques with UF’s own Dr. Elif Akçali at a divergent thinking workshop!
