“We conducted a group leader meeting to get all the teams to collaborate their efforts and exchange information. This gave the group leaders a more thorough understanding on the work that our other teams have completed. The group leaders relayed this information to their respective teams, which resulted in less questions to the project management team. We also arranged to work on the project outside of lab time on Saturday, Mar. 28 to begin the construction of our prototype.”
“At this point, we are developing plans for both a high rise structure for urban implementation and a wide, low building designed specifically for suburban areas.
Two presentations on the areas being considered have been given and the search will be narrowed down to two locations by our next long lab. At this time we will also be given a presentation on possible floor plans by the Interior Design group so that further developments can be made by Sustainability, Civil Engineering, Architecture and Costing groups.”
“Lab group dynamic:
Each table group is pulling their own weight
There are interaction between groups
Clear and civil communication within the lab group”
“Because the building of the prototype is now in progress we have made a budget sheet and asked each team to give us receipts for the materials they buy. This will allow us to monitor each team’s spending and be sure that every lab member has spent the same at the end of the project.”
