Presentation Transcript

  1. Questions from last time?

  2. Comments on HTMI Chapter 4 • Key points: • Most of what most of you (and I) assumed initially could be completely ignored! • Mathematically, a much more complex problem than HTMI Chapter 2. • If you think strategically about problems like these, you can often use a much simpler model to get close to a reasonable solution. • Think carefully about how you present your work (“here is the right answer” vs. presenting trends that you know to be true from engineering fundamentals)

  3. Warning! • Some of you did not actually answer the president’s question! • He put the beer in the fridge – how long before he can drink it? • Some of you proposed alternate solutions that would indeed cool the beer more quickly, but the grumpy president is not interested in reason. • If the fridge is at 10°C, can you ever use it to cool the beer to less than that temperature?

  4. Today’s class • Now-11:30 • Work Time • Plan presentation content • Presentation outline • 11:30-11:50 • One person from each team presents their outline

  5. Background/VOC Expectations • Step back, assess what you’ve done, compile information, seek feedback. • Every project is still a work in progress – don’t pretend otherwise! • Convey to the class: • Context and motivation for your project(s) • Goals for your project(s) • Research sources and summarize information (current state of the art) • Stakeholders, and summarize information (VOC) • Questions for audience, next steps
