Date: February 23, 2018
Time: 2:55 PM – 5:15 PM (face to face)

Members Present: Feifan Lin(F.L.), Joey Gill(J.G.), Jingming Chen(J.C.), Pravesh Khanal (P.K.)
Topic: Coasting vs. Power Braking and Solidworks Simulation
Objective:
During the week 6 meetings, the group’s goal is to finish Coasting vs. Power braking research as well as start a new research for Wind tunnel. If the Wind tunnel is not working, Solidworks simulation is the next option.
To do/Action items:
In the 15th meeting, the group discussed how Solidworks assembly could be used to model AEV designs. This discussion led the group to talk about Solidworks Simulation. The group considered researching Solidworks simulation since it could provide a useful insight into designing the AEV and analyzing its properties.
In the 16th meeting, the group finished Coasting vs. Power Braking and discussed the results with the team. The wind tunnel lab was canceled, so Pravesh and Jingming decided to start Solidworks Simulation for the group’s second research.
Initial ideas:
Research Solidworks simulations. (J.G., F.L. P.K., J.C.) Pravesh and Jingming received a part for Solidworks simulations.
Review the Advanced R&D topics for the lab. (J.G., P.K.)
Update the website for each part in Committee Meeting 1. (P.K., J.G., F.L., J.C.)
Decisions:
-Pravesh and Jingming will finish Solidworks simulations and upload the data for the upcoming presentation. (FL, JG, JC, PK)
-Prepare for Advanced R&D topics. (FL, JG, JC, PK)
-Rehearse the presentation for the oral presentation. (PK, FL, JG, JC)
Upcoming tasks:
Prepare for oral presentation. (J.G.)
Start the Progress Report 2 deliverables. (P.K.)
Update team meeting notes. (P.K.)
Update the website. (F.L., P.K.)
Roles subject to change.
