Progress.....

I should be concentrating on my report right now, but I felt the need for a break and update the blog with my progress. Starting the report was the tough part, what do I need? what can I leave out? etc. etc. After forcing myself to concentrate (right now excepted) everything I have done for this project started to come together. Currently I am finishing up as much as possible and still waiting for the CV from my SFPD expert for my panel, other than that I have everything else I need. Good luck to everyone during these final days of our undergraduate careers!! YAY!!! Almost done!!

Finally!!!

It's been awhile since my last post, but that's because the end is near and it's time to work hard. My bibliography was finally finalized last week and by panel of experts is also finally together...kind of.... I was able to contact Eddie Tsui, Traffic Engineer SFMTC and Michael Tran, Civil Engineer for Hawks Engineering for sure. However, I do have one more expert whom I am not going to confirm until I have received his CV or resume. I have two other "back-ups" but have not recieved anymore contact from them past a response email to my original inquiry. Hopefully, I'll have it up soon *crossing-fingers*

Just An Update!

Just finished my midterm presentation on Tuesday and it went pretty well. Could've been better....less wordy and better contrast. Well.....it will be better the next time around, I'll work on it and refine it better. Overall, real relived it's over with and good job to everyone else who has gone already, very nice work.

Finalized P&P

I thought i had updated my blog to reflect my finalized problem and purpose statement, but i guess I didn't. This version will be a little different compared to the one below but it's just wording, the concept is still the same.

Problem statement: For motorcycle riders in San Francisco, the traffic light sensor system at busy intersections cannot be activated due to a lack of metal mass.

Purpose statement: The purpose of this study was to research and develop a vehicle recognition system so motorcycles are able to activate the traffic light sensors.

There you have it....simple and sweet!!

PERT chart

Here's my PERT chart....not the greatest looking but I think it has all the necessary information for me to get organized

Meeting Time!!

I have my appointment with Nancy today....or tonight rather, and I hope i have enough to talk about. With mid-terms coming up and the semester flying-by (it seems like yesterday I was trying to figure out my problem and purpose statement) I feel as if I'm a little behind....I actually know I am and it's kind of stressing me out. I need to get a nice kick in the booty to get me going!!!!
