Project Technical Review Project Technical Reviews (PTRs) are common for all engineering projects PTRs are used to evaluate projects and their progress at all stages PTRs allow “new eyes” to view project PTRs provide insight to potential problem areas and weaknesses PTRs provide a chance for mid-point corrections Page 4
Project Technical Review Scheduled for Monday, 12 January Each team will be allocated 10 minutes for making a presentation Each team gives brief technical description of their product Questions and observations by class and instructors Suggestions for future work Page 5
Project Technical Review What is the technical feasibility of the product? What are the strengths of this product? What are its weaknesses? What are the specifications of the subsystems? Can these subsystems be fabricated and tested separately? Page 6
Project Technical Review What technologies are likely candidates for implementing the project? Are these technologies readily available and affordable? Do these technologies require special equipment or skills? Is the equipment available? What strengths and weaknesses does your team have to complete the project? Page 7
Project Technical Review What tasks must be accomplished to complete the project? What is the timeline for completing the required tasks? How will you verify that the PDS has been achieved, i.e., the product performs properly? What are the most risky aspects of the product development? What contingencies do you have for failure of these aspects? Page 8
