During the last meeting on 9/2/15 I participated in giving a 1-minute speech on what I learned from the reading in the INIST library. After completing my stumbling speech about how people and transportation affect each other, I realized that I need to strengthen my speech skills. Listening to fellow classmates’ speeches, there seemed to be a consensus of trying to improve the previous year’s work rather than creating new ideas. There was also emphasis on making more safety precautions.
After completing speeches, the class took a guided tour to each of the different aspects of the project, which included: full-scale model, scale model, and guide-way section of the track. At each stop the group was introduced what was going on in that area and what could be done to improve it. Once the tour was completed each person went to the area that they thought they would like to work on. Then formed groups with others that had similar interests in each of the divided areas.
The area that I took interest in was the full scale model and the station area. I would like to improve the existing full scale model of the cabin, making safety improvements the bogie-rail connection, or creating a station that the cabin would use. I am more inclined to working on the full scale cabin so that it is aesthetically pleasing and functioning than the existing models. By working on the cabin there is the possibility to transition into making a station for the cabin-human experience.
