Week 3

We have selected an idea, from a problem that we as a group see in our everyday lives, which is not predominate to any ethnicity as we all have done it once or twice.

We've chosen to research seat belt systems and the possibility of incorporating a transmitter within the vehicle. This transmitter is connected to seat belt system and depending on if seat belt is engaged, initiates the switch on of an LED/s that will be located within or near both front pillars and in high rear stop lights as examples. As transmission is only initiated due to a disengaged seat belt while vehicle is in operation, the system will be pulled to ground and no LED/s or transmission is actuated.

I felt our presentation was average, but with that said , I believe that the idea can be tweaked and with more research into the area and of technology out there today, we will be able to produce hopefully a prototype before final presentation.

Week 2

We have discussed our idea's with our peers and facilitators and how gone back to the drawing board as our idea's were either not feasible or not technical enough. In the next week, we will select an idea that would be more feasible and hopefully be approved by our group and facilitators.

Week 1,,, The ideals...

We have received our assessment package and been instructed to write down ideas that we may have of issues that are within automotive that could be improved or should be neglected. With this we are to develop the idea so that the concept will either be viable to archive and the evidence to support or reasons for the idea not to be viable and evidence of why. Also a contract is to be written of the direction that the group are researching.

Two ideas have been OK by our facilitator which our group are researching.
