Week 1-3 Group Meeting Reports

Group Meeting #3

Date of event: Wednesday, 4/10/2013. 5pm

Out of Lab Group Meeting:

Meeting Objectives:

• Order the necessary amount of sheet metal to start work on the prototype
• Start working with DiaLux to simulate how the prototype will work upon completion

--------------------------

• Wanted to double-check with Mark Shiber that we were ordering the correct sheet metal before actually placing the order
• Started creating a CAD model of the light fixture
• Started creating a simulation in DiaLux of the fixture

--------------------------

Thoughts:

• What are the exact dimensions of the room in St. Francis Country House where these fixtures will be installed?
• Is there any way to create a custom light fixture in DiaLux?
• How exactly does the fixture mount in the ceiling?

In-Lab Meeting #1

Date of event: Tuesday, 4/9/2013. 3-5pm

In-Lab Group Meeting

Meeting Objectives:

• Talk to Prof. Ellis about some of the questions we had
• Meet with Group 5 to see how their progress is coming along on the project
• Meet Mark Shiber in the machine shop and discuss a plan on building the prototype

--------------------------

• Met with Mark Shiber who told us where to order the necessary material from
• With the help of Mark Shiber, we were able to develop a plan on how to build the fixture
• Presented our Project Proposal to Prof. Ellis and the rest of the class
• Defined the major objectives of the week as modeling the fixture in CAD and in DiaLux and ordering the material to start with the assembly of the prototype

--------------------------

Thoughts:

• How long is it going to take to build and assemble the fixture in the machine shop?
• When does Group 5 want the completed prototype by so they can start adding their components to the prototype?
