Before the review, the review, after the review

Before the review
If a special location or other arrangements are needed to demonstrate your prototype, please let the course instructor know no later than Friday evening of the week of the review.

You should have a large poster that clearly highlights critical functional specifications (from your product contract). You can schedule a time for help with plotting on Sunday afternoon.

Be prepared to let instructors use your prototype. During the evening, your team will also be asked to give a 5 minute demonstration to be video taped for the website. Your team should plan this demonstration in advance of the review.

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. Pizza will be available in the lab at 6 PM.

The review
The review will be in the Pappalardo lab from 7-9:35 PM on the date indicated in the course schedule.

Instructors will divide into 4 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 four 15 minute review sessions.

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.

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

After the review
Notes recorded during the review should be disseminated to the team for consideration when prioritizing improvements before the final presentation. If you showed any videos of other materials during the review, please email them to the course instructor (drwallac) by midnight Monday night.

Preliminary feedback will be provided Tuesday on the course website. Additionally, your review materials and video will be posted on the course website, and you will receive written feedback from at least 3 course staff by Wednesday morning.

Please arrange a meeting with Professor Wallace for Tuesday or Wednesday to discuss your final presentation setup and have a brief design review.

Also, your team should consider having a meeting on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, after the review and prior to the thanksgiving holiday, to set priorities for the final presentation. The course instructor will be available to meet with your team for design consultations any time prior to the holiday.
