So the only “midterm” I had was on Thursday. For the past six weeks, 3 other students and I have been working with ARI to see if we could somehow improve their CV axle remanufacturing line. For our midterm design review, we had to present, to some big people in the company, what we had discovered in the past 6 weeks. We proposed our design solutions, and we presented our thoughts on the best one. During the hour long presentation, they asked questions about each design, and they asked for clarification if the numbers didn’t make sense. But in the end they agreed with our selections. Our professors, who made the drive out to Anaheim, congratulated us for getting past the biggest hurdle of the class. For the final 4 weeks, we will continue working on the solutions they chose, and come to a final design proposal for ARI.

On Friday, Rochelle and I went up to the Getty Center. I always wondered what was up there on that hill. Who knew that that stuff was free? Once I have the time, I’ll post pictures from our little get away.

After the design review for the Mini Baja, and the midterm presentation at ARI, this three day weekend was something I was looking forward to. Now it’s 7th week and the home stretch until finals.
