The technical review will be in the Pappalardo lab from 7-8:30 PM on the date indicated in the course schedule. If a special location or arrangements are needed to demonstrate your prototype, please let the course instructor know no later than one week prior to the technical review date.

Your team should be prepared to let instructors use your prototype and you should have a large poster that clearly highlights critical functional specifications (from your product contract).

There needs to be space to let instructors use the prototypes so students not involved in the review need to avoid crowding the team workspace. There should be team members present to demonstrate/answer questions and at least one person to record notes during the review. The notes should be disseminated to the team for consideration when prioritizing improvements before the final presentation.

Instructors will divide into 3 small groups and be assigned to different teams. Every 15 minutes the instructors will switch to a different team according to the schedule below. The rotation will be structured so that you will have 15 minutes on, then 15 minutes off. In total, you will have three 15 minute review sessions.

A 5 minute video of you demonstrating your prototype will be taken during one of your breaks.

Work on the machine shop side of the lab will cease at 4:45 PM, but you will have shop access through to 7 PM.

Grading will be based upon the criteria listed in the technical review description. Instructors will attend the review and will meet immediately following to discuss each prototype but your team instructors will determine your final grade.

More details will be available shortly before the review.
