Week 7
Situation
For next week’s lab, the team’s focus will be on adapting the Advanced Energy Vehicle’s (AEV) to meet the team’s success criterion of appearance, stability, cost, etc. The team will be comparing designs from two different AEV models and analyzing the appropriate success criterion to develop an enhanced AEV moving forward to more testing and further development. The team will continue to utilize concept screening and scoring spreadsheets to analyze the different designs’ ability to uphold the team’s specific success criterion.
Additionally, the team will begin to adapt to meeting three times a week and will begin to develop a plan on how to accomplish the necessary tasks in the allotted time. The team will also spend a significant amount of time starting next week working on the Preliminary Design Report (PDR) and polishing the Project Portfolio.
