AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.... sorry I ran out of breath or would have said it a million more times.
I was going to say "you are my hero", but I guess you already were...
I've been at COMPANIES that don't do this as well as your team does
What I would love to see as a followup (perhaps during competition season, or after...) is if you would be willing to post your actual review package from this year. Seeing what kind of detail and information is provided could be immensely helpful.
And I guess this concept is sort of similar to what Project Lead the Way does with their Capstone design course... they bring in engineers to actually review the design at a few stages. Obviously the 6 weeks is so compressed you probably don't get more than one review in, but this really makes so much sense, and teams can stand to gain so much from it. I think some teams are getting better at doing internal design review meetings, but I love the idea of getting sponsoring engineers involved... and will definitely borrow this idea with my next team......... :-D
