It is the week of 10/26-10/30 and our mentor contacts are due at the end of the week. I have started gathering all contacts that I've had via e-mail with my mentor, Mike Danko. Also our Formal Progress Update is due for the beginning of november so I have started prepping the materials needed for this presentation.

Due this week is our model and at the end of the week we will begin practicing for our Formal Progress Report Update with an Informal Progress Report Update. This presentation, outlined in our red guidebook, will update our instructors on our progress through the project. Also it will give us a chance to show our model. My partner and I have completed our model thus far.

I am posting my second update of the week. Today was very productive, I completed a Mentor Contact in regard to the e-mail my mentor sent me. Due to his suggestions and ideas, I have made addendums to my selection/rejection/intention post. This weekend my partner, Mr. Maciejak, and I are planning to obtain our materials for the model due next wednesday.

It's a new week in the world of systems engineering. The week of 10/13-10/16 has begun and so far I have been quite productive. I have responded to my mentor Mike Danko in terms of his suggestions. I took in his suggestions and researched and got a better grip of new techniques in order to make this marina "green." These techniques include a bubble curtain to break up oil spills if they occur, a bubble aeration device that blocks harrassing sounds to the marine life, and a permeable soaker that would be used on the boat ramp to catch oil leaks.

As of the week of 10/5-10/9, we continued work with the Selection/Rejection/Intention portion of the project. I was given back my S/R/I with a grade on it and have been asked to make corrections as an assignment for the upcoming tuesday. In other news I received word from my mentor Mike Danko and he made some great suggestions that I will follow up on.

Log 1 (9/28-10/2)

As of the week of 9/28-10/2, I have completed and posted my Alternate Solutions, Selection/Rejection/Intention and Specifications Grid on the blog. My next issue of concern is the model which will be due at the end of the month of October. Me and my associate, AM, have discussed materials for our final design in areas such as impermeable vs. permeable surfaces on the marina. This weekend we will start picking up supplies for the model.
