15 Project Retrospectives At end of each term Review of successes and failures Plan for next phase

16 Engineering Notebook Record of all work done on a project Demonstrates that standard engineering practices have been followed Evidence of creation of intellectual property –patents often refer to engineering notebooks

17 Keeping Track of Your Time Need to know how you spend your time before you can estimate how much time a task will take Use a standard form in your engineering notebook We will review these notes throughout the term
