1. 1st March, 2010- 4. 30 p.m.
We formed a group consisting of the seven mentioned members and tried to decide on the topic. 3 members researched on alternate fuels,2 on mass transport and 2 on space research. As we were not able to get much information and ideas regarding alternate fuels and space research,we combined it and finalized on Mass Transport.
2. 8th March,2010- 4. 30 p.m.
Based on our meetings with Dr. D.N. Rao-Prof.-Dept. of Chemistry, M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, and Dr. Ravikumar-Dept. of Solid State Chemistry-IISC, we decided to go ahead with improvising the existing mass transport system and making it more efficient. Creative ideas pooled and one of the ideas was BRAIN!!
3. 15th March,2010- 4. 30 p.m.
We started our work on PDS. The distribution of work was based on the skills and abilities of the team members. We also consulted one of our parents regarding the materials used in the construction process. Complete information gathering on all the topics of PDS.
4. 22nd March,2010- 4. 30 p.m.
The skeleton of the body of the PDS was completed. Since the whole process is iterative in nature,the concepts,materials used etc were revised and the PDS was further improvised. The fuel was changed from electricity and magnetism to hydrogen fuels so the PDS process was repeated.
5. 29th March,2010 -4. 30 p.m.
We submitted the PDS and started with our work on the sketches which were submitted the following weekend. Sketches work given to skilled artists and no computer work done as the member was staying on hostel and wasn't much comfortable with computer scale diagram software.
6. 5th April,2010- 4. 30 p.m.
We held a brainstorming session and the pros and cons of the collective thoughts were analyzed. Using the different methods like criteria ranking, DAYTUM and EVAD methods,the concept of using hydrogen as fuel and roadways as the means of transport was finalized.
7. 19th April,2010- 4. 30 p.m.
We had a discussion about the Detailed Design Process-Ergonomics, Aesthetics and the Technical aspects. Scale drawings were discussed. The scale modelling was discussed. Discussing about report on meetings and group discussion.
Generally all the meetings held in front of the class. The meeting duration is about half an hour. Proof like pictures are present. The above information provided about all meetings are true to extent of our knowledge.
