Week 4: 04/22/2016
We had our fourth meeting with Professor Mitchell on April 22, 2016. We first discussed the progress we were having with contacting Bartram's Garden. There was a brief email response with some new information such as having the horse stable having four stables room. Some of the group members will be meeting with Justin, the person of contact from Bartram's Garden, later on in the afternoon (April 22nd) to discuss the further requirements for the project.
Today's meeting not much was discussed but rather we went over Google Earth and SketchUp.

We went on Google Earth to examine the area that was given to us to get a better idea of how we should sketch the design. Afterwards, Professor Mitchell gave us a brief demo on how to work Sketch Up. We were able to learn the basics of how to create shapes to form a horse stable.
In the discussion portion of the meeting, we talked about having to produce a draft of our final proposal by week 7. It is better to start on the draft sooner rather than later. Each individual member as discussed in the past meetings are to have their own individual engineering roles so that something of engineering value can be learned by the end of this project. The group has not been very efficient these past few weeks in terms of getting work accomplished and so it was requested that they break up the work more and get up to speed since the project will be due before week 10. It was also suggested that in order to get a head start on the draft and final proposal to get a template developed for all members to use in order to work on the paper and also have a consistent layout.
We are to have all case studies uploaded by the end of week 5. This does not mean that case studies are limited to what has been assigned. A design of the horse stable is also encouraged to have done by the next meeting.
