In the first week of class, Team 10 was introduced to its teammates and coach, Dr. Jackson. They discussed the project specifications and were tasked with creating a preliminary design of the chemical reactor. This task kick-started their background research and ensured that all subsystems would be researched simultaneously and complement each other in the final design.   

In the second and third weeks of class, Team 10 met with their liaison, Dr. Rinaldi, and discussed questions about the project specifications. At the end of the meeting, the team had a better understanding of the project scope and decided to focus on choosing chemical reactions for the reactor, as those would determine the rest of the design. Team 10 finished out the third week by updating their team page with bio’s, a team name, and a team logo.
