InformationWeek 14 (April 17-21)
Week 14 is all about Final Review and Open House prep. We will be finishing up a few PCR reviews, but there is no new content for the students to complete. Going forward, the students should focus on refining and practicing their presentations as well as completing deliverables and outreach activities. During Final Review, each team will get up to 25 mins to present (timed) followed by 5-10 mins of Q&A from the review board. I have attached slides with more info on FR/OH. VIDEOS - STUDENTS AND TEACHERS: - Final Review/Open House Logistics - This video goes over the when's and where's for Final Review and Open House. I HIGHLY recommend that everyone watches this video, especially in-person teams! This is also the last video of the semester, yay! IMPORTANT REMINDERS: 1) Payload Concept Proposal (PCP - the written document) is DUE on tomorrow, April 14th at 11:59 pm - DONE 2) Online Outreach Evaluations are DUE on Friday, April 28th at 11:59 pm 3) Open House Posters are DUE on Friday, Friday, April 28th at 11:59 pm 4) MAR#3 (April), is DUE Sunday, April 30th at 11:59 pm 5) Final Review Presentations are DUE on Monday, May 1st at 11:59 pm 6) If we do not have your teams' photos, please have them submit them ASAP Week 13 (April 10-14) This week will be the Payload Concept Review (PCR). This is when the teams will present their presentations to the UAH senior design kids. We want to make sure the teams are about 90% done with their presentations at this point. This is a good practice for Final Review. We’ll also follow the same pattern as Final Review - each team will get 25 mins to present (timed) followed by 10 mins of questions. Wednesday 12th Team 1 Friday 14th Team 2 IMPORTANT REMINDERS: 1) The Payload Concept Proposal (PCP) is DUE Friday, April 14th by 11:59 pm (Central Time). The teams will upload this on the InSPIRESS website, if they have issues with that they can always email be the file. Please remember - if the teams don’t submit stuff on time, they will get disqualified from the competition. Week 12 (April 3th - 6th) Presentations should be about 80%-90% complete. Teams should have all the numbers from their Engineering Analysis and should be refining their presentation at this point. Finish the first draft of the PCP done in time for an English teacher to review This week is all about getting ready for the upcoming Payload Concept Review (PCR) in Week 13. This is with our UAH senior design students just like the previous PSR. This review is all the same slides as Final Review, and the teams will be timed with 25 mins to present, 5-10 mins for Q&A. This is not for points but a great practice for the teams. Reminders: 1) MAR #2 is DUE TODAY (March 31st) at 11:59 pm (Central Time) 2) Payload Concept Proposal (PCP) is DUE Friday, April 14th 3) Open House Poser is DUE Friday, April 28th 4) Online Outreach Evaluation is DUE Friday, April 28th 5) Final Review Presentation is DUE Monday, May 1st 6) FINAL REVIEW IS SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY, May 5th (more info - coming soon) Notes on slides: - At this point the Alternatives slide (the one with pros and cons) should be replaced by the trade study. - The ConOps slide is no longer required for the losing concept(s) - PCR covers all slides including lessons learned, risk analysis, and summary. We have some videos for this next week, this is also the last few things for the teams to add to their presentations! All videos will be up on the Google Drive shortly. Videos All Groups: 1) PCR Prep (~ 19 mins): This video talks about the upcoming PCR (in week 13) and how the teams should get ready for it. 2) Lessons Learned (~ 4 mins): This video is about what the teams have learned all semester, this video should help the teams reflect back on what they’ve learned all semester and what would they change if they had a chance to do all of this again! (NOTE The Judges LOVE THIS INFO!!) Design Team: 1) Risk Analysis (~ 6 mins): This video is to help the teams identify and analyze risks in their design. Week 11 (March 27-March 31st) Week 11 starts Monday, March 27th. This week we’ll have our Team Progress Report (TPR) #3. This is also the last TPR of the semester and the primary focus will be Engineering Analysis. After TPR #3, if the students need any further help we would be happy to schedule help sessions! Tuesday, March 28 - Team 1 Thursday, March 30 - Team 2 Week 10 (March 20-254th) This is also one of the most important weeks in InSPIRESS. The design team will be working on Engineering Analysis which is where physics and math come into play. The videos are long this week but they should really help the teams. Reminder - From here on, the teams will be using the Payload Concept Review (PCR) template for the rest of the semester. This will be under the students downloads page on the website. Videos for Week 10: Leadership: 1) TPR #3 Video (~ 21 mins): This video goes over the new slides for TPR #3. 2) PCP Video (~ 15 mins): This video covers everything they need to know about the Payload Concept Proposal (PCP). This is the written document that each team must complete by Friday, April 14th at 11:59pm. I HIGHLY encourage the teams to get started on the PCP soon. Design: 1) Introduction Video (~ 13 mins): This video is required for every design team regardless of which vehicle they are deploying from. This video serves as a guide and introduction for all the other videos (like a table of contents). 2) EA Orbiter (~ 35 mins): This video is ONLY for the teams that are deploying from the orbiter. The video should guide them through each step of the engineering analysis. 3) EA Landers (~ 34 mins): This video is ONLY for the teams that are deploying from one or both of the landers. The video should cover all phases of engineering analysis when deploying from the landers. 4) EA Batteries (~ 7 mins): This video is also required regardless of what vehicle the team deploys from. This video helps the teams design and size their batteries to power their payload. Outreach: 1) Open House Poster (~ 8 mins): This video covers the requirements and recommendations for the Open House Poster. This is a busy week, especially for design, so the students shouldn't hesitate to reach out if they need help! Week 9 ( March 13-17) Week 9 InSPIRESS will be on spring break, meaning that technically there will be no new content. However, if you are not on spring break, the Week 10 videos have been uploaded on the website. The teams are welcome to watch those to get ahead, or to spend the week updating their slides from PSR. Week 8 (March 6-10th) Week 8 officially begins on March 6th. We know many schools are getting ready for spring break, so please note that weeks 8 and 9 are interchangeable based on your schedule. With PSR's wrapping up, the teams will begin selecting and refining their final concepts. Reminder - From here on, the teams will be using the Payload Concept Review (PCR) template for the rest of the semester. This will be under the students downloads page on the website. Videos for Week 9: Design: 1) Concept Selection Trade Study (~ 9 mins): This video talks about how the teams should proceed with the design alternatives and how to select the “best” concept. 2) Material Selection Trade Study (~ 6 mins): This video helps the teams develop and understand what materials to use on their concepts (mainly housing). Outreach: 1) Outreach Checkup (~ 6 mins): This video helps the teams analyze their outreach progress and what things to do as they move forward. Leadership: 1) Scary Video (~ 7 mins): This video talks about the scariest part of the whole project - DUE DATES! *insert spooky noises here* Week 7 (Feb 27 - March 3rd) Week 7 is the Payload Status Review (PSR). This is when we’ll have our UAH IPT Senior Design students as external review board. This review is part of their senior design grade. ). The UAH crew will be giving them feedback and filling out a JotForm (evaluation sheet) for the teams. We’ll be sending out the forms to you after the meetings. This should help the teams with their design process. PSR Schedule (Week 7) Tuesday, Feb 28 - Grand Forks - Team 1 Wednesday, March 1 - Grand Forks - Team 2 Week 6 (Feb 20-24) We will be in Week 6 starting Monday, Feb 20th. This week we’ll have our second team progress report (TPR #2). This covers all the slides that are in the Payload Status Review (PSR) template. This is the same template that the students have been working on. Please be aware that all TPRs next week will be virtual via Google Meet / Zoom. This is basically meant to be a practice run for PSR which will also be virtual. I will send out emails with meeting links next week. Tuesday, Feb 22st - Grand Forks (Team 1 and Team 2) Week 7 will be the Payload Status Review (PSRs). This is when the teams will present their slides to our UAH senior design board. These are college seniors at UAH in Mechanical, Aerospace, Industrial and Systems Engineering. This will be the first interim review. Reminder - this is still practice and does not have any points attached to it. Videos for this week: Students: None Payload Status Review Schedule (Week 7): Week 5 (Feb 13-1) Week 5 we will be moving on from TPR#1 and beginning prep for TPR#2. This is the point in the project where teams get to put their engineering hats on and begin coming up with their payload designs. Additionally, Week 5 is when the students will start planning for their in-person Activities for Community Engagement (ACEs). In Week 6 we will have TPR#2 and in Week 7 we will have our first interim review called the Payload Status Review (PSR). This is with our UAH senior design students. After TPR #2 the students will refine the same presentation to get ready for the PSR (no new stuff will be added for it). Videos for Week 5: Leadership: 1) TPR #2 Prep (~ 18 mins): This video gets the students ready for the next progress report. We go over each slide that they will present and what to talk about for each slide. 2) Team Form (~2 mins): This video briefly explains how to fill out the team form located on the website. Some teams have already submitted the form, in which case they can skip this video. Design: 1) Alternatives and ConOps (~ 20 mins): This video talks about how to develop the different concepts for the next phase. It talks about splitting each team in two groups to come up with “good” ideas for concepts and discuss them. Outreach: 1) ACE Planning and Procedures ( ~ 13 mins): This video talks about how to plan for the in-person ACE activities. They should watch this video before they watch the tutorials. 2) ACE Tutorials (14 videos): The Outreach team is required to watch only the ones that interest them. They are NOT required to watch all 14 videos. However, please remember the outreach team must perform at least 4 activities with at least one of those coming from our list. Week 4 ( Feb 6th - 10th) We start with the first Team Progress Reports (TPR's) next week. This is when the teams present us their science objectives, team identity and other things (more details in Week 3 Leadership Videos). We don’t have any videos for Week 4. TPR #1 Tuesday, Feb 7th - Grand Forks Week 3 (Jan 30th - Feb 3rd) The focus for week 3 will be selecting science objectives, creating team identity, and preparing for team progress report #1. The first week where the videos start separating out for the teams. Each group (leadership, design, and outreach) will have their own videos to watch. Next week is TPR (Team Progress Report) #1. This will be completely virtual (Google Meet, Zoom). TPR #1’s start TBA Page 74 Check!!! to know assignments for TPR #1 Student Videos for Week 3: Leadership: 1 ) TPR #1 Prep (~ 17 mins): This video covers all the slides that are required for TPR #1 in Week 4. This video is really important for the teams to realize what slides are covered and what to talk about for those slides. Design: 1) Mission & Science Objectives (~ 37 mins): This covers different science objectives, the process of how to select science objectives and its importance. 2) Requirements (~ 13 mins): This video covers the project requirements (project, functional and environmental). Outreach: 1) Team Identity (~ 5 mins): This video covers the process of selecting a team identity, its importance and what we’re looking for. 2) Outreach Options (~ 12 mins): This video covers some of the options that the students can use this semester for a successful online outreach. It talks about the guidelines and the content directions. 3) Outreach Reporting (~ 10 mins): This video covers the deliverables that the outreach will have this semester and how to track online analytics. Week 2 (Jan 23-27) Week 2 is the only week where we have a video for the teams to watch and we’ll be seeing them in-person. (They visit us actually Feb 1st) This week the teams should focus on reviewing the first part of the book (Request for Payload),to understand the project structure and components. Student Video’s For Week 2: 1) RFP Video (~ 29 mins): This video is for all members of the team. We talk about the Request for Payload (in the book). This video also talks about all the rules, due dates, deliverables for this semester. I HIGHLY recommend the students to watch this. Week 1 Jan 17-20 All our videos will be available online on our website www.inspiress.org. The student videos are available under the student’s tab and under videos. There should be a link to the google drive with folder’s for each week. NOTE - Please download the videos to the computer before you watch them. The files can be large sometimes. Also, each video will have its own powerpoint to go with it. This year's mission, the ARISE (Autonomous Research Investigating the Surface of Europa) Mission, will be to Europa. The three vehicles will be located on the equator on the non-Jupiter facing side, the south pole, and in a 100 km orbit. The students can go ahead and start doing their own research and thinking of science objectives that might interest them. We will cover science objectives more in depth over the next couple of weeks. 1) Week_1_Project_Introduction (~50 mins): This video has 2 parts - the first part should be a comical relief for everyone (this should be the first 10 mins of the video! Sorry in advance!). The second part is more informative where we talk about the project and what to expect this semester. Week 15 (April 25-29) We’re in the last few weeks of the program! We have Final Review practice this week and next! (GFC we had ours on in Week 14). The teams are getting ready for their virtual final review on Friday, May 6th! You should have seen a previous email from me with the final review logistics video and the divisions for this semester. Please make sure you see the times that each team will be presenting. Again, all times in the final review schedule (attached) are in Central Time.
