Update XXVI

Sadly, we will soon embark on our Christmas Break, and take a long vacation from the school life and the wonderful world of Systems Engineering II. Today our developmental work is due to be checked by our instructors. I have been working on it all week with Mr. Alfonse in hopes to get as close to completion as possible. Hopefully, the instructors will believe that I have succeeded in that goal, and I will be safe to roam the earth for another day.

Update XXV

Mr. Alfonse and I have been chipping away at my bill of materials and my plan of procedure all week. Recently Ms. McDonald took us to visit the museum out on the hook where we took a look at some scale models to get some ideas for our own projects. I think it was worth the trip. Today is friday and there is going to be a checkup so I need to work hard to keep up to date on all of my work that will be do before the Christmas Break.

Ms. McDonald will be taking to visit a museum on Sandy Hook this week where we will be able to view scale models to get some idea of what ours should look like.

Update XXIII

Yesterday one of our instructors sat down with the Green Marina teams to discuss some of the problems that the other teams were facing. We identified several problems that left us completely stumped. Firstly, none of the Green Marina teams has identified definate boundaries for the Atlantic Highlands Municipal Marina. We do not know where the property line begins or ends for the marina. This is a vital part of the project. If we can not identify the property line, then there is no way to begin constructing drawings of our marinas in AutoCAD because we have to know the dimensions so we can decide on a proper scale for the drawing. Besides that, we also have to identify some contor lines for our drawings, but we will just take it one step at a time for now.

This week i will continue working on my developmental work with my partner. I recently had some problems with my blog that my instructors pointed out to me. I have successfully fixed those problems and I now have everything under control. This week I will continue working on my developmental work and finishing some of the orders for materials.

Update XXI

One of my instructors pointed out to me some problems that she was experiencing with access to my blog. We reviewed the problems together and I have begun fixing them. There is not much left to do. I should have everything under control by the end of today. Besides that I just need to continue working on my developmental work.
