Include
discussion of what you accomplished this week, who you contacted, what
decisions were made, what obstacles were identified, how they are being
addressed. This
week completed the fifth full week we have been working on our Senior Design
Project. This week: ·
We had our usual group discussion, where we talked
especially about our progress, the project proposal, and future steps to be
taken in our project. ·
The majority of this week was spent on the project
proposal. We discussed who was
tackling which question, who was putting the entire thing together, and when
we would meet to do the final touch-ups. ·
We are still working on the simulation. As mentioned before, we were thinking of
trying it in different programs (Matlab, C++, Simulink), but as of now C++ is
ruled out. We figured that the
simplest way to write the program would be using Matlab or Simulink; so
currently, work is being done on that. ·
We have a Matlab code for Aloha; however, there are
some errors we have to figure out and fix, in order for the program to work
correctly. ·
The research is never-ending. After all, a great part of Senior Design
VII is to do a great amount of research and fully understand the concepts of
the project. Therefore, each member of
the group is constantly researching the topic and subtopics of Aloha to see
what new information can be found. ·
Writing the proposal is a good preparation for the
DURF (dean's undergraduate research fund) proposal. After we hand in our proposal this week,
the main focus will turn to the DURF proposal and presentation. ·
We have to prepare for a meeting with Prof. Tureli,
but we want to wait until we make more progress with our Aloha code. |
