Spring 2008 Midterm Report

In the first half of the semester, I played the role of both project manager and team member. I led the planning phase and inducted the new members into the team. I also taught them the basics of MathCAD.

After the initial period, the team worked together to finalize the design of the new flocculator using the MathCAD program that I wrote. After the team determined the real flocculation efficiency (alpha in the Flocculation Model, I updated the design and drafted it in AutoCAD. The construction drawing was released to construction in early March.

After that, the team embarked on designing a new sedimentation tank and rapid mix column, as well as constructing a new set of flow control modules.
