[00:00:00.090]I'm Dan from Team 22.
[00:00:02.850]I am the team lead this semester and last semester
[00:00:06.660]I was in charge primarily of the CAD design.
[00:00:10.913]I am Summer.
[00:00:12.450]I have been in charge with a lot of document organization
[00:00:16.560]kind of keeping us on track with our tasks
[00:00:20.160]and ordering supplies.
[00:00:22.380]I'm Alex and I was the team lead last semester.
[00:00:25.820]In this team I'm in charge of design
[00:00:28.740]and logistic aspects of this project.
[00:00:31.770]So the project is a interactive exhibit
[00:00:36.210]for the SAC museum.
[00:00:38.070]If you're familiar with the B36 bomber
[00:00:40.380]it has a large personnel tunnel that goes
[00:00:42.900]from the back of the plane to the pilot bay.
[00:00:45.900]Kind of our goals with it,
[00:00:48.540]SAC museum want it to be used for children and adults
[00:00:52.080]to kind of get that experience
[00:00:53.550]on what these military men had to go through
[00:00:58.920]multiple times a day with pulling themselves
[00:01:01.200]through this dark tunnel.
[00:01:03.180]So our main goal with this was to kind of get rid of
[00:01:07.230]some of maybe the claustrophobia and stuff
[00:01:10.440]and then to make sure it is user intuitively
[00:01:15.300]user friendly as well as children safe.
[00:01:18.390]So we have previously worked on some projects together
[00:01:21.360]which has been really nice.
[00:01:22.380]We kind of understand each other.
[00:01:24.480]First semester was a lot of design stuff
[00:01:26.520]so we all kind of worked on some of the basics
[00:01:29.490]of deciding what we were gonna go with
[00:01:31.620]for the tunnel design.
[00:01:33.270]And then this semester we've just kind of
[00:01:35.670]almost fallen into our roles, which has been nice.
[00:01:38.700]Alex and Evan are and Dan have been doing
[00:01:41.400]a lot of the CAD design.
[00:01:43.230]They're more fluent in that than I am.
[00:01:44.790]So they've been working on that.
[00:01:47.149]And then Dan has been good this semester
[00:01:49.200]and just kind of giving us what he thinks we'd be good at
[00:01:56.070]which has been nice too.
[00:01:59.850]So yeah, we just have been able to fall
[00:02:02.910]into those roles pretty easily.
[00:02:04.710]I'd say some of the biggest challenges we've faced
[00:02:07.320]is just overcoming the adversity
[00:02:09.390]of our first true engineering project.
[00:02:12.900]I mean, for the lots of us, we've up to this point,
[00:02:15.900]we've only done, you know technical calculations
[00:02:18.750]and stuff on paper and this is honestly the very first time
[00:02:21.840]we've actually created a tangible model exhibit
[00:02:26.556]that we, you know, we made from scratch that we decided,
[00:02:30.690]you know what parts go where, where we're getting them from.
[00:02:35.250]And then as for me personally, I'd say probably
[00:02:37.620]the biggest challenge has been, oh, geez, I don't even know,
[00:02:47.610]I guess, I guess finishing this one out.
[00:02:51.990]We got our project a little bit later
[00:02:53.790]than most of the other teams and that was, you know
[00:02:57.287]it was nobody's fault, but I'm just happy
[00:03:01.110]we've been able to stick our head down
[00:03:03.390]and keep pushing forward through.
