The milestones for the Human Powered Submarine Team, spring 2005, are as follow (subject to change):
Every Tuesday afternoon, 1 - 3 pm, we have the use of Wallace pool. The time is already paid for, so the team will be in the water during this time.
Since the team’s experimental data will, for the most part, need to be collected in the water, this time should serve as the lab time for Mech Lab III. The regularly scheduled mech lab time (Monday or Wednesday afternoon) can be used for the Design IV lab time used on Tuesday afternoons in the pool. This should avoid scheduling conflicts while ensuring that each team member has adequate time in the lab to work on the project.
(All dates are TBD until the whole team can meet and discuss a schedule. Also, if any aspect of the project is missing, please add it to the list.)
