Tell your Story

Thursday my group (Brianna and I) had our design review with our program directors. We started to talk about the information we should be displaying in our power point presentations. He suggested to us that we design our presentation around what we would present at our last design review in front of the rest of the students. That way every design review we have from now until then we will have practiced many times and will become very good at knowing the information. He told us to start gathering bits and pieces to tell our story so we can give this to just about anyone and not lose them in a fog, so they understand what we've been working on this semester.

In our Pulp/ Paper class we went over different sized tree length and round wood sizes. This built some context for different debarker applications and chipper specifications. Kraft pulping, chemical recovery, and energy production were also covered in class today. Our instructor gave us a material balance exercise that involved a filter section and drier section you would see in a paper mill. The exercise overall was very basic, but it was a good cob web cleaning exercise for something that we don't deal with every day.
