Team Meetings with Advisor
Each team will have a 20 minute meeting with an advisor and the instructor in the lecture room. Some advisors will not be familiar with your project, so you will need to be prepared to give a brief overview of your project.
Prepare a Project Status Report that includes:
Summary of Product Concept
Figure of concept
Customer discovery update. Include number of interviews, web polls, etc.
Cost estimate of product (low volume and high volume)
List of High risk technical issues
List of High risk marketing issues
Milestones and a Gantt Chart
Include a list of questions the team has which can relate to market research, fabrication, patents, etc.
Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Bring your hardware and indicate the hypotheses that you plan on testing with it.
Not all MVPs need to be functional, but they should allow you to test at least one hypothesis.
Some projects would require additional MVPs that cannot be built within MAE154, but at least one MVP should be built in MAE154.
Bring prior presentations with instructor's comments on them. Explain how you addressed comments.
