SJSU ME 195a Full Scale Controls Team Individual Blog - Week of 8/29 & 9/5
This individual post is covering the first two weeks of progress for this project. I had issues uploading blogs which is why I was unable to post last weeks, individual blog.
8/29/2018:
Today's class was focused on introducing the group to the project and dividing everyone into their designated groups. First, we were given a background about the status of the project as a whole, and then we were given our assigned teams. I was assigned to the full-scale bogie team. The full-scale bogie team and full-scale guideway teams grouped together and divided into 5 sub-teams.
1. Guideway Team
2. Controls Team
3. Drivetrain
4. Bogie
5. Wayside Power
I elected to be a part of the controls team. We then shared contact information with the entire team, as well as sub-teams, and discussed what needed to happen before we met the next week.
9/5/2018:
In class today, each team or sub-team gave a quick 5 minutes presentation about their project scope and basic objectives for the school year. The full-scale bogie team then had a meeting with Dan to go over what teams we had made and an overall plan of what will happen over the next week in terms of how teams can get started. At this point of the project, I am still uncomfortable trying to come up with ideas and concepts with respect to the controls because I have not read through enough of the past work to understand the full scope of the project. Over the course of this next week, I will focus on talking to Alan more about what other work has been done since he was part of the summer team, and also focus on studyng past work so the team can create a more effective project proposal.
