Post a mini proposal to the discussion forum based on your discussion in class on Thursday 2/1, in the mini_proposal_1 folder. Please update the post by 5pm on Monday 2/5. Your post should contain the following elements, from the Heilmeier Catechism:

  • Project title
  • Names of team members
  • What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon.
  • How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice?
  • What’s new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful?
  • Who cares? If you’re successful, what difference will it make? What are the risks and the payoffs?
  • How long will it take? What are the midterm and final “exams” to check for success?
