Week Four

Although we had an idea in our minds, we discovered that it is extremely hard to do any research for our idea. This is week four, which means that our literature review is due in along with a power point presentation on what our project is going to be. I know we are lacing behind at this point as I see other groups are presenting some good ideas in front of the class. The issue here is that we are willing to do the work but we are just not finding the proper path. 

We decided to hang back and wait till the first break so that we could speak to a lecturer about the issues we are facing. Upon the arrival of the break I decided to speak to Roman and ask for an extension. I explained our situation and he gave us a weeks extension. This was good news. We then decided to speak to Anura about our idea and ask him what he though about it. To our surprise he was very encouraging and told us that it was a good idea.  He mentioned that our project would only work on vehicles with a manual transmission or automatics with a tiptronic or a low gear function. This is due to the torque convertor function of an automatic gearbox.

We discussed the issues we were facing regarding our research and he suggested few starting points for us. Seeing as we did not have a technical adviser yet we decided to ask Anura if he was willing to take us under his wing. He said yes! Finally we have a project idea, a technical adviser and a place to start our research.
