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
Construct a model boat which is able to float, move in several directions and has the potential to equip weapon systems.

Assign Task1
The team members were each assigned there own area to research and document. I am currently researching the radio control aspect of the model boat. I found out that there are two ways a remote control work: inferred and radio frequency and will see which have better range and simpler controls.

Compare actual work done to Task1
I have researched what radio control entitles, different types of transmitters, and the parts that makes up the actual radio control system. There are two different ways commands are sent from the operator: inferred and radio frequencies. Radio control systems consists of a transmitter, receiver, power source and the motor. The transmitter sends a signal at either 27 or 49 MHz, sending out pulses that are received via antenna and translated by the receiver, then delivered to the motor.

Week1 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.

Week1 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 1sfoerster 13:32, 28 August 2011 (UTC) to create a time and date stamp. Create a new category if another team mate has already commented here.

Assign Task2
I am researching a way to control two different motors: one for varying speeds and the other for movement of the motor/direction of momentum. These will have to be controlled by remote.
