Day 12: (Mon Feb 24, Week 7) Project Literature

Notes for 2025-02-24.

New Assignments

Due before Wednesday: a candidate list of any special materials or components we may need to purchase or acquire, submitted as a Google Sheet in Exercise 9 Shared Folder. For items we definitely do not have, please include specific purchasing links and prices. All items subject to discussion. Please ask if you’re not sure whether we have something already.

Administrative

  1. Please be sure to pick up any TPU part prototypes (including multiples).

  2. Just a reminder, next week is Spring Break.

Agenda

  1. Discuss your technical citations selected for focus for Exercise: Research Study (Exercise 9 Shared Folder).

  2. Individual meetings and work time.
