Give instructor top 3 project choice list
Typically the instructor picks teams. Students send the instructor their top 3 choices. The project choices are typically those found at Category:General_Engineering_Projects. The instructor tries to put students in the project of their choice. Put your top three choices here after they are used to assign you to this project. Create a link to the project root and to where your team will be working.

Write problem statement
My initial project was Wind Tunnel. I was unable to develop a problem statement.

The Problem Statement for Water Treatment is:

Can the mock-up of a water treatment process, created by a previous project team, function properly?

Assign Task1
For week one, I tasked myself with researching where the Wind Tunnel originated from so I can get some inspiration on how to push the project forward.

Week1 Activities
During the week, I looked at what was done previously by another team on the Wind Tunnel. What I saw were computer drafted drawings and not much of anything else. I read that the Wind Tunnel derived from the Whirling Arm. My first thought was that it is interesting how the Wind Tunnel measures aerodynamic forces, but it gave me zero inspiration. My next thought was that I extremely enjoy using computer applications to create images. Since a previous team drafted the Wind Tunnel, I decided that I would use the Beta version of Autodesk's 123D application to draft a Whirling Arm, explain what limitations the Whirling Arm had, what solutions were decided on to solve the problems found, then compare and contrast with the current Wind Tunnel. From here I switched to the Water Treatment project.

Week1 Peer Review
I am the only member on this team.

Assign Task2
For week two I have tasked myself with reading and viewing what previous teams have done on the Water Treatment project. I am to make phone calls to a water treatment plant(s) and try to schedule a tour of a/the facility.

Week2 Narrative
Upload photos to wikimedia. Upload video to youtube. Convert all spreadsheets, documents, and presentations to wiki format and create wiki subpage of your page for each of them. Link to them here in a narrative that tells a story. High light the problems (engineering problems) you had and how you solved them.

Week2 Peer Review
Go to each team mates weekly summary wiki page. Read their activities and narrative. Then go the associated discussion page. Say something positive on this page. Try some constructive criticism. Add your name and a signature ~ by entering four tildes in a row to create a time and date stamp. Create a new category if another team mate has already commented here.

Assign Task3
Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the weekend between week2 and week3 of the project here.
