November 6-13

Formal Progress Updates were conducted by all students as of Friday, November 11. All presentations were spectated intently and viewed for analysis and comparison. Viewing other students' design process and methodology is good practice for engineers of tomorrow. All presentations received comments from student body as an audience analysis. My presentation did not raise any concern through the process and the instructors commented that the project has an overall stable foundation.

November 1 - 6

Formal Progress Updates were conducted by Students while peers observed. Many students seek personal inspiration from all of the creative ideas from the presentations that will be carried out from November 8th, forward.

October 11 - 21, 2011

Goal: Revise blog posts to meet the rubric standards for evaluation by instructors.

October 11, 2011:

AutoCAD Drawings finalized, screen shots were captured on AutoCAD, cropped, saved and then uploaded to the blog in loss-less high resolution so users could zoom in on them for quality.

October 6, 2011:

Due to technical difficulties, no post changes or modifications occurred yesterday. Instead, AutoCAD Drawings went under peer review for publication expected for tomorrow October 7, 2011.

October 5, 2011:

At home: Posted 22 pictures and 22 paragraphs describing background information to be more consistent, thorough, and concise. Formatting and publication occurred on the evening of October 4th.

In class: Posting pictures referring to a primary current event such as the British Petroleum accident as well as develop aesthetic purposes for the Underwater ROV. Finished up commentary on the post pictures and published them to the blog for peer review.

October 4, 2011:

Pretty much completed with the Control Box AutoCAD drawings, and should be uploaded by Wednesday evening. Based upon recent grade reflections, self and peer evaluation will go underway as well as rubric comparison and editing previous posts to meet the demands of students, mentors, and instructors.

October 3, 2011:

Registered with CadForums and found a few importable .dwg files. This improves efficiency and will allow us to meet deadlines faster as long as credit is given where it is due. I added large essential components to the control box to get a nice foundation and should finish it by Wednesday the 5th of October for upload and commentary for adjustments.

September 30, 2011:

Work on Control box on AutoCAD in 3D and update logs and improve site performance by minimizing cache loaded on initial website start up and integrating the use of pages across numerous tabs for common easy user interface.

September 28, 2011:

Updating content on blog to ensure consistency with rubric specifications. Begin final CAD drawings of design in 3-Dimensions. Update calendar with future deadlines and dates. Touch up posts, format and design recommendations from students, peers, and mentor online.

September 26 2011:

Find High Quality 1920x1080 pixel resolution image and 1080p quality image. After finding image relating to overall blog topic, upload to the blog so that the resolution is not chopped and is clear and professional appearing for students, visitors, and any projected audience. Considering that a large scale of my projected audience is viewing this page on a 15.6" Laptop display because that is the most common monitor, then I should calculate and readjust my margins to meet the needs of them to be universally accepted and view upon.

September 23, 2011:

Goal: Publish Rationale as due by the Syllabus and submit logical reasoning behind the decisions / actions taken.
Accomplished: Have rationale reviewed by peers, made adjustments, and uploaded images and published content.

September 22, 2011:

Determine Final Rationale and embellish explanations on Design Rationale. Highlighted information and determined the most optimal and versatile design for the promotion of the ROV.
