CHANNEL WING HPV COEUS MAV GLXP PANTHER II ARES PIFAS 1. Team goal, objectives, and specifications are clear and well thought out HPV MAV CHANNEL WING COEUS GLXP ARES PANTHER II PIFAS 1/14/2019 MAE 4291

CHANNEL WING HPV COEUS MAV GLXP PANTHER II ARES PIFAS 2. The team has a good understand of the overall project and the main sub-systems, i.e., they understand the complexity and underlying nature of their proposal. HPV MAV CHANNEL WING COEUS GLXP ARES PANTHER II PIFAS 1/14/2019 MAE 4291

CHANNEL WING HPV COEUS MAV GLXP PANTHER II ARES PIFAS 3. Modeling and calculations that are being attempted make sense at this point, i.e., is this what should be calculated at this point or are they ignoring something more important that should be addressed sooner.

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Nothing Each team is facing unique challenges Grading is still done on a team by team basis Everything Assessment of communication/presentation ability How you ‘stack-up’ relative to other teams Most interesting to me / and how this fits into a grade: How does each team deal with questions / rankings? Was there an attempt made to incorporate answers / suggestions / feedback? Does team even know what is going on with feedback / rankings? How will all of this information be incorporated into final report? What are you learning from projects that are going poorly? 1/14/2019 MAE 4291

OTHER COMMENTS / OBSERVATIONS Frustration with other teams not understanding your points NSF reviewer completely misunderstood my points/argument/discussion even though they were absolutely crystal clear! Conflicting comments / feedback Reviewer 1: Section 2.5 needs more scientific detail… Reviewer 2: Section 2.5 has too much detail… needs to be more of a summary… Addressing comments/critique turns out to not matter Review Round #1: received 9 comments that I addressed and re-submitted proposal Review Round #2: received 8 new comments ‘Survivor’ style voting in industry/NASA KSC: “We liked your proposal, but we only had funding for 2… we didn’t select you” Florida Tech Congressional Earmarking: “Great presentation Dan!… We love this work!... This will resonate well with the state congress!... Our lobbyist in Tallahassee thought this is a sure thing for funding… Well, in the end we didn’t pick you…” Assessment methodology is not fair NSF: Scientific merit vs. broader implications 1/14/2019 MAE 4291

NEXT STEPS Next class is on Monday, November 24th Wednesday (November 12) and Friday (November 14): Feedback from PDRs Review any modifications your team has made to final report outline Review questions from CDR presentations: Compile list of questions New vs. repeat questions Answer/address questions Due Monday, November 24th in class Final Report Draft #1: Due Friday, November 21st as electronic copy Distribute your report to two other teams for review: Monday, November 24th Report feedback/evaluation due on Friday, November 28th at noon Pick-up evaluated reports on Friday, November 28th after 3pm Final Report Draft #2 (optional): Electronic copy due by December 1st Feedback to you by December 3rd Final Report Due in electronic form on December 12th 1/14/2019 MAE 4291
