Yesterday all three groups gave their presentations. They were viewed by the rest of the students, the faculty and two external experts. Every group gave a good presentation and showed their well reasoned arguments as to why their design had the features it did. Although, during a final design review it is expected that if, as someone viewing the presentation, you have a question as to the validity of an assumption or the accuracy of a calculation or any other concern, you are to voice it. That is just what our faculty and external experts did. This questioning kept us on our toes and was a valuable learning experience. I found out that it does not matter how much preparation you do, or how well you know something, you can always know more, or be more prepared. Also, I found that during these design reviews I cannot be afraid to admit to a mistake, and be prepared to make a plan to correct the problem.
At the end of the day we were given a rough description of our next round of projects. We all became very excited. The diversity and challenge that these projects present will make for a very interesting and educational semester.
