Weekly Update
Week 1
This week we decided on a topic: Amazon Prime Air Delivery System. We plan to analyze the techniques behind drone navigation & how the packages are delivered, compare and contrast this system to the current delivery system by truck, assess safety, propose possible future scenarios and their feasibility, and see how this influences enterprise, society and individuals. If it is all possible...that we will have to see.
Important Tasks &/or deadlines: Presentation Monday about subject,objectives & approach. Create a tentative plan.
Feedback
The class and professors gave us some good food for thought: Find a more concrete question we want to answer. Overall good thoughts and questions about "drone delivery", but what is the core of what we want to analyze/find out. Also form a more concrete approach ie. where are you going to find sources, from whom, what kind, etc.
