5 minEngineering RequirementsMax Castiglione
  • Delete ER N1, as it is a repeat essentially of ER S4
  • Change ER S4 to having an acceptable value at 275 degrees C, target as 400 C
  • ER N2: change so nozzle exit diameter is most important dimension constraint (0.4-1.2 mm for range)

Other risks include:

  • Social:
    • Requirements are dynamic in general, can change throughout the project
  • Technical:
    • Difficulty cutting fiber

Issues Raised

  • In general, the format of today's meeting was not ideal. We did not have a projector, our room was populated with other presentations, and one group member could not come to campus. Moving forward, we are going to have our customer communications meetings remotely on Zoom.

Decisions Made

  • Engineering Requirement: N1 will be deleted (extraneous)
  • Engineering Requirement: S4 will be updated for a lower target value
  • Engineering Requirement: N2 will be changed to include only the nozzle exit diameter
  • Risks will be updated to include the social and technical risks that Denis commented
