* BY SATURDAY: Look at brainstorming ideas and GROUP them (for Pugh chart), and also criteria for Pugh chart
** Read about MIOX filter *{+}Agenda:+** Teamwork Module à enough discussion for 1 page writeup
* Brainstorm Recap / Questions for Victor *{+}Teamwork Learning Style Module{+}*
* Kimi: 5 ref, 3 sen, 3 verb, 1 seq
* Christine: 5 ref, 3 int, 3 vis, 3 glo
* Chris: 5 act, 7 int, 5 ver, 1 glo
* Becca: 1 ref, 1 sen, 5 vis, 1 seq
* Tylor: 7 ref, 1 int, 3 vis, 3 glo
* Reflective vs. Active learners:
** We have mostly reflective learners (except Chris... ew)
** Reflective people = like to think and digest
** Active people = like to play
** Tylor likes to learn by teaching
** Tylor also thinks he has _the_ solution more than he actually does... so don't get bulldozed.
** Memorization?
**- Tylor memorizes things fast, but not long-term
**- Chris learns by seeing an equation used in different applications, doing it over and over
* Sensing vs. Intuitive:
** We have a mix, but Chris is an outlier again (HAHA... int)
** Sensing = facts, well-established methods, dislike complications, patient w/ details
** Intuitive = possibilities/relationships, like innovation, dislike repetition,
** Chris thinks he's more sens than int...
* Verbal vs. Visual:
** Everyone is visual but Chris and Kimi, but everyone is close to middle again
* Global vs. Sequential:
** Everyone's really close to the middle again
** Tylor prides himself on the ability to see big picture but do details too... bouncing back and forth is really important
** Everyone does both in different situations (ex. math class vs. design class)
** Engineering lends itself to both - ex. beam theory, but being able to apply it everywhere
** ETRAPOLATION is super-important\! Learning to build a house, then being asked to build a boat
* General comments:
** MIT has screwed us up... L
** Everyone is a little of everything, always
** These things are good for dysfunctional groups, but not so much for us (hooray\! We rock. J)
** Nobody here is very extreme - everyone is well-balanced
** Engineering makes us tend towards the middle
**- Chris is the baby\! And he's the most extreme. We will fix that. J *{+}Brainstorm Recap:+** Tylor: "the brainstorming session expanded my design concept"... was very much wedded to the idea of a cheaper cylinder w/ spout... that is different now
** Stepped back and looked at bare essentials ("we want to sanitize water")
* Action items: Get feedback from Victor/Derek
*
* Tylor:
** Springs w/ platform à mechanically limits dispensing of Cl depending on weight of container
** Kimi's summary: liquid, pre-mixed chlorine... similar to what's already out there but addresses variable dosing
** New idea: storage thing could be put under the platform so it's shielded from light/heat...
**- Eliminates a lot of material: you just need 4 springs, bag/container, and a pump
** Kimi: doesn't address the issue of incomplete dosing near the bottom
** Disadvantage of this: pumps need to be "primed" (pumped a couple of times before it actually dispenses)
* Christine:
** Fixed volume type of dispenser à direct feedback weight and dosing
* Chris:
** Mostly covered by previous two (sorry\!)
** Level indicators (google this)
* Becca:
** In the end, have a CHEAP version, AND an INGELLIGENT version
** Likes the idea of having it on the ground instead of on a stand, and having some sort of pump up
** Adjusting for height of container: "telescoping" valve for adjustability, cranking, pin
** Syringe dispensing (to address issue of seeing how much is coming out)
** Taste is limiting factor... is there an additive to decrease bad taste?
* Pugh Chart:
** Variable dosing (auto-detecting of size) à springs vs. pressure column
** Container
** Height adjust
** Kimi: the scope of our parameters are pretty small
** You can break down into multiple Pugh charts (for example, one for dispensing, one for variable dosing, etc)
** BE QUANTITATIVE à calculating k constants of springs?
** Accurate vs. precise
** ACTION ITEM: before next meeting, everyone should look at concepts and GROUP them (by Pugh chart category)
** Focus on container (bucket or bag), delivery, measurement (look at it or weigh it?)
** Baseline: chlorine dispenser as it is right now
* What to do with low cost vs. cool extra features dilemma? |
