This week, we began preparing for our 2nd presentation about our progress. During the class session, the team broke down different aspects of the presentation into equally divided divisions so that we're able to fully cover most of the grading rubric. I quickly jumped onto the calculations part of the grading rubric, because I'm more comfortable working with equations, calculations and most importantly - numbers. For the calculations, my main goal was to try and use given parameters from our contact in South Africa. With these parameters, I was able to solve for the Modulus of Elasticity, through using Euler's Buckling Load equation.
After the class session ended, we had an outside class meeting to continuing working on the PowerPoint as a group at the MLK library, from 3-6pm on Thursday.
Fortunately, also on Thursday, Claude was able to get the laser cutter to work with the help of the IT guys and Dr. Furman - and cut pieces for our rapid prototype to show the class.
Everyone is stressed out for the presentation approaching this coming Wednesday.
