Week 1

Engineering Freshmen Design III

Lab Section: 076

Group 5: Chinondu Emeana <cbe25@drexel.edu>
                 Alex Hall <abh53@drexel.edu>
                 Erica Feinstein <ejf57@drexel.edu>
                 Anthony Paris <amp474@drexel.edu>


ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTIVES 

• Introductions:
• Group members were introduced and appropriate contact information was shared. 
• Avenues for group collaboration such as: group message boards, goggle docs etc were established. 
• Possible project topics were discussed and finalized as "Energy and Carbon Footprints of Electric and Conventional Auto mobiles". 

• Role Assignment for Design Proposal and Blog. 
• Design Proposal (Due before April 6, 2016)
• Majority of the information on the proposal would be gotten from the (1) G.R.E.E.T. life cycle model courtesy of the Argonne National Lab. 
• The (2) vehicles studied on this proposal were narrowed down to internal combustion engine, hydrogen fuel cell, electrical and hybrid cars and assigned to each group member to assess and write on. 
• Group Blog: 
• The Blog was set-up during lab primarily by Alex Hall, though all members were in active participation of the process. 
• Each member is to post at least one of the weekly updates concisely describing the group's progress. 
• The username and password for the blog was shared among the group, to enable each member a chance to post. 

• Goals.
• Understand and utilize the G.R.E.E.T life cycle model for this project.
• Submit all deliverables on time.
